Hi, is peat moss the same as sphagnum moss, the stuff used in damp hides? Because garden centres sell it for hanging baskets, and vermiculite too - you'll find the vermiculite with the smaller bags of potting compost - it's used for rooting cuttings etc. Wilkinson's sell it too, but maybe not at this time of year with the store full of jolly Xmas horrors ... |

From sps cheap as well if your ordering some more bits
Although we have taken it out now as she has no eggs left :(

vermiculite from any garden centre,With all the other potting soils etc.
As for the peat moss,Sold at garden centres to,However be careful and read the labels.As most will have added stuff.Come to think about it,It will most likely all have added/enriched with plant food etc.
So get something like the zoo med reptile moss etc.

No additives in the 'gardman' brand I got from B&Q - and it would have said so on the packet as a selling point. But if there's a brand produced specially for reps, yes I'd use that for preference.
Good luck with the eggs. |
