    Hands on knowledge, even into the nooks and crannies of the hobby. Collecting substrate, leaf litter, moss and hardscape. Showing everyone how it's properly done, and saving us money. This stuff costs a fortune at the store, and that substrate, wow. That stuff is pure gold.

    This must be one of the most helpful videos in the hobby ive seen. Helps keepers out in so many ways. The amount of natural goodness in that mulch must make a bio active set up thrive! Ive already gone out and collected some fern for my tarantulas and dried leaves for my grubs after watching these. Cheers Dave 👍🤘🕷️🕷️

    My sister and I have a bit of woodland in Scotland and, because its so isolated and free from Sprays etc., my natural instinct would be to take whatever I needed for an enclosure from there. It's nice to see you doing the same.

    Glad you are touching on this and the fact that Pine tree mulch should never be used. I raised bulldogs at one time and used pine shavings for litter. Wrong idea, within minutes of putting out the new litter I had one pup die to suffocation, I later was told by the vet never to use pine of any sort as bedding for any animal. Aromatic hydrocarbons (phenols) and acids that are toxic to most animals. Just an FYI.

  • @annnoyez

    That was very interesting. And I don't understand why people should boil, microwave or whatever, their moss??? Shouldn't you want it alive? So it grows a bit??? I know there are people who boil their leaves as they don't know what the surroundings are from their catch. But moss??? That is alive... so you should boil or microwave your roaches too??? Lol
    And you are a good Labrador... 🤣🤣🤣

    Such a great reminder to love Mother Nature as she certainly loves us with everything that we've been given. You have an amazing heart, thank you for bringing light around you.
    It's that exact reassurance of: "hey, don't rush things, you have all you need here in nature, take your time to feel how everything around is alive and breathing, just like you". Just a few seconds of that awareness of feeling a forest are enough for me to forget absolutely any "problems" I had.
