My redfoots are 1.5 years old and 1 year old. I still have them in a "under the bed"container tubberware enclosure with spaghnum moss substrate.
I tried coconut coir and sand mix, but it got really wet and I was worried about shell rot/fungus/bugs. The moss does pretty well, and they like to burrow in it, but I'm not sure if I should change it or not.
I need to get a bigger enclosure (right now its about 3 ft x 1.5 ft) and was wondering if I should try a wooden (old bookshelf) or just a bigger plastic container. They have great appetites and are healthy in their current enclosure... Its just that they have grown a lot in the last 6 months (ESP the older one) and wondering if I should change substrate when I change enclosures.
Thanks
