Postby MechHAN » Wed Mar 04, 2015 10:33 pm

So I brought some sphagnum moss, and my Yig sure like it a lot, but the problem is it seems become dry very fast, spray water don't slow it down a lot, should I put the moss in water again?

Spagnum moss should stay moist for weeks and if it is drying out then the humidity in your home must be very low.

I would put the moss in a plastic container and keep about 1 centimetre of water in the bottom so it cannot dry out. I would rinse the moss with water a couple times a month to keep it fresh
