today, i changed my leopards substrate because i had noticed bugs in it. i replaced it with coco coir in her humid hide and most of the enclosure, mulch for around the water dish and i thought I'd try the forest moss that comes in bricks for the cooler side. i had sphagnum moss in certain places but she hated it.
now that she discovered the forest moss, she's fascinated by it. i wouldn't say she's exactly eating it, but she's shoving her face in it haha. I've seen her take a bite and spit it out many times. so I'm hoping she'll realize its disgusting.
my question is should i take the chance? i feel like the amount i watched her nibble on in literally a half hour of not taking my eyes off her while she explored the moss wouldn't be enough to cause impaction, i know she's hydrated. the moss doesn't seem as difficult to pass versus other substrates...she might even eat it in the wild if she came across it, right?
