Hello! Andy here!

Im looking for some ideas for a new indoor enclosure for three redfoots.
I have been using repti bark for the dry area and cypress mulch for the wet. I want it to modify it so they can dig and experience a new thing.
Im going to use the bark for the dry areas, looking to change the wet area.

I read here a lots of things about the coco coir and some other things with coco. With what I can mix it with? Or just plain coco coir?? Is it good for redfoots??
Also trying to find good clean topsoil for some areas.
Im planing to have differents areas with differents substrate.

Im making a wooden table 24"x12"x166". No need to worry about the temps and humidity.

Coco coir by itself is fine, but you can mix it topsoil, and it stays wetter.

I have never used coco coir so I'll give it a try.

I don't like coco coir by itself. I usually mix it with either fine mulch or long fibred sphagnum moss.

I used moss at the beginning and it made a mess also Dobby the big one dont like it at all also here in puerto rico is very expensive and I'll need a lot of moss to cover a 13 feet enclosure.

No, I actually mix all of the coco coir and all of the moss together in one huge pile. I don't use it separately. I just mix it right into the coco coir to give it some substance.
