IVY IN A BOX TURTLE ENCLOSURE?

[NewTurtleMommy]

Booker is inside for the winter and I wanted to spruce up his enclosure-what indoor plants will work? Is regular indoor ivy bad?

For the one's that have to stay inside for the Winter, I just use regular tropical house plants, and some dandelion. None of mine ever bothered with the plants, but I can't tell you what your's will do.

I also put a lot of long fiber moss on one side for them to dig in, and some creeping jenny for a little ground cover...some leaf litter, and pine hay.

Pine hay?? I thought Pine was bad for turtles.

It's from a big old white pine tree in the woods near where I live. I've never had a problem with it, and it's nice and soft. I put it on top of the dried leaves where they hibernate.
