It expands when you get it wet, which is what you want to do before using it. Just soak it in a bucket of clean water, squeezing it to help it absorb the water. Wring it out so that it is just damp before putting it in your turtle&#8217;s cage.<\/p>\n<p>It provides a soft, carpet-like layer over any other substrate of your choice, for example Eco Earth coconut fiber bedding. You really do need another substrate under it so your pet has something to burrow into. It&#8217;s a great addition to any part of the habitat, but around the water dish it can help to absorb spills so the rest of the substrate doesn&#8217;t get soaked.<\/p>\n<p>New Zealand Sphagnum Moss is also simple to clean and reuse. The process is similar to wetting it for the first use. Just put it in some clean water and swirl it around, then wring it out. Do this a few times, until the moss looks and smells clean. According to Zoo Med, you should be able to clean it three or four times before you need to replace it with new moss. Of course, if it smells bad and you can&#8217;t get rid of the smell by cleaning, replace it sooner.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"#top\">(Back to Top)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"compare\">Comparison to Other Types of Mosses<\/h2>\n<p>According to ZooMed, this moss \u201cholds more water and stays moist longer than any other type of moss.\u201d Most reviewers seem to agree that it helps keep humidity high longer and needs misting less often than other products.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s apparently also cleaner than some other mosses, according to other reviewers.<\/p>\n<p>The down side seems to be that it&#8217;s more expensive than many others. But since it can be cleaned and reused, it may actually last longer, making it cheaper in the long run.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"#top\">(Back to Top)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"safe\">Is Sphagnum Moss Safe for Box Turtles?<\/h2>\n<p>Moss is very safe to use with box turtles. It&#8217;s soft, so it won&#8217;t scratch them. It&#8217;s a natural plant material, so it&#8217;s safe to eat. And this product has no chemicals added that could be dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, box turtle experts often recommend moss as one of the elements of a well-landscaped box turtle habitat.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12px;\"><a href=\"#top\">(Back to Top)<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"summary\">New Zealand Sphagnum Moss Pros &amp;
