Instructions for use

Spread the substrate evenly over the terrarium floor. Depending on the species and the desired humidity, Forest Floor can be lightly moistened. Check the moisture levels regularly and remove soiled areas promptly. In terrariums kept very humid, ensure there is good ventilation. Soiled areas should be removed regularly and replaced with fresh substrate as required.
The entire substrate should be completely replaced at appropriate intervals, depending on the number of animals, humidity and soiling. Ensure that the substrate does not remain permanently wet to prevent mould growth.

Zoo Roco Tip

Forest Floor is ideal for animals that prefer a more humid terrarium climate. For burrowing species, the substrate depth should be adjusted accordingly. Combined with moss, cork bark and roots, it creates a natural terrarium landscape with good hiding places.

Lucky Reptile - Tortoise Bedding 20 litres
Lucky Reptile Tortoise Bedding 20 litres Lucky Reptile’s Tortoise Bedding is a peat-based substrate for tortoises Contents 20 litres retains moisture Does not mould also suitable as a substrate for hibernation Tortoises often like to retreat into hiding places and burrow into the ground to wait out periods of unfavourable weather. This is where uniform temperatures and slightly higher air and substrate humidity prevail. This special substrate was developed in collaboration with renowned tortoise breeders and zoological institutions so that tortoises can also pursue this natural behaviour in the terrarium. Lucky Reptile Tortoise Bedding retains moisture, remains firm underfoot yet loose, and does not go mouldy. It is not only odourless but actively absorbs odours. Thanks to its soft, fibre-rich structure and the absence of sand, it is harmless if accidentally ingested and promotes healthy shell development in tortoises. This helps prevent dull, worn shells. Thanks to its airy and loose structure, Tortoise Bedding insulates and cushions temperature fluctuations when the animals are buried. Added natural clay minerals ensure a constant substrate moisture level, which is why tortoises like to use it as an egg-laying substrate. For the same reasons, it is an excellent hibernation substrate - not only in outdoor terrariums! The pH value has been specially adjusted to the needs of tortoises and no fertilisers or other chemical additives have been added. It is therefore even suitable as a natural breeding substrate and can be composted without any problems.

Shroomroom MossMix 10g
Shroomroom MossMix 10g Dry mixture of Asian mosses and fern sporesShroomroom MossMix (10 g) is a dry mixture of Asian mosses and fern spores for the decorative design of terrariums and paludariums. Ideal for terrarium builders who want to create nature-like scenes with mossy structures. In combination with a suitable base, the spores can be placed in a targeted manner to add greenery to back walls, roots or stones.Properties and advantages Dry mixture of Asian mosses and fern spores Ideal for terrarium and paludarium design Suitable for moss-covered backgrounds, scene construction and detailed accents Can be used with pinpoint accuracy to visually enliven structures such as roots, cork or stones Particularly practical in combination with Shroomroom MossBase as an adhesive base 10 g pack for targeted applications and small to medium-sized projectsA harmonious terrarium or paludarium thrives on transitions, textures and details that look like nature. This is exactly what Shroomroom MossMix is designed for: a dry mixture of Asian mosses and fern spores with which you can decoratively create mossy structures and greenery effects. The mix is particularly suitable for scene construction - for example for mossy areas on back walls, branches, roots, cork or stones. Used correctly, MossMix brings more depth and naturalness to the layout and creates an authentic look without overloading the terrarium. For controlled work and better adhesion, we recommend using it on a suitable base, for example with Shroomroom MossBase, to fix the material to the desired substrate.Zoo Roco tip For particularly natural results, work in zones: Use MossMix specifically where your hardscape offers suitable conditions. First model the substrate (e.g. with TropicalClay and MossBase) and then apply MossMix selectively instead of scattering it over a large area. This makes mossy transitions look more realistic and the overall look remains harmonious.

Ideal as a top layer over the substrate, to support the microclimate and as a hiding place and feeding area for cleaning crews. Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch 500 g is a natural terrarium mulch made from a carefully selected mixture of shredded leaves. It is ideal as a decorative and functional top layer over the substrate and makes the terrarium look more like a natural habitat. The mulch supports substrate health, the stability of the microclimate and the ecological balance within the terrarium.Leaf litter mulch is particularly suitable for bioactive terrariums. There, it provides food and hiding places for so-called ‘clean-up crews’ such as woodlice, beetles and millipedes. As these organisms break down the leaves, nutrients are returned to the soil, which helps to maintain a natural terrarium environment.The shredded leaves provide animals with additional structure, cover and enrichment. Many terrarium animals use layers of leaves for digging, hiding, exploring or foraging. HabiStat recommends using the mulch as a top layer over the substrate.Your benefits at a glanceNatural leaf litter mulch for terrariumsMade from shredded leavesIdeal for bioactive terrariumsSupports a natural ground systemHelps to maintain a valuable microclimate in the substrateProvides hiding places and structure for terrarium animalsSupports cleaning crews such as woodlice, beetles and millipedesCan encourage natural behaviours such as digging and foragingDecorative top layer over the substrateMakes the terrarium look more like a natural habitatVacuum-packedInstructions for useSpread the Habistat Leaf Litter Mulch as a loose top layer over the suitable terrarium substrate.

WIO Wood Sinking Chips Accent 150 g
WIO Wood Sinking Chips Accent 150 gWIO Wood Sinking Chips Accent 150 g are natural wooden accents made from bark, roots, twigs and wood chips. Ideal for realistic details in aquascapes, biotope aquariums, paludariums and terrariums.WIO Wood Sinking Chips Accent 150 g are natural wooden accents for creating detailed designs in aquariums, paludariums and terrariums. The mixture mimics accumulations of wood as found in riverbeds, along riverbanks and on jungle floors. This allows hardscape transitions, the bases of stones and natural drift lines to be designed particularly realistically. The mixture consists of selected wooden components such as bark, fine roots, twigs and wood chips. After soaking or preparation, the pieces of wood sink and can be placed precisely between stones, on slopes or in small hollows. It is recommended to boil the material for approximately 20 minutes or soak it for 24–72 hours before use, and then introduce it into the tank gradually. As this is a natural wood-based material, tannins may be released. In weakly buffered water, this can affect the pH value. Gradual addition and monitoring of water parameters are therefore particularly advisable where sensitive aquarium inhabitants are present.Your benefits at a glanceNatural wood accents for aquascaping and biotope designImitates accumulations of wood in riverbeds and jungle floorsA mixture of bark, fine roots, twigs and wood chipsSuitable for aquariums, paludariums and terrariumsIdeal for concealing transitions and the bases of rocksAdds depth, structure and natural detailsCan microfauna provide habitat and a food source?Sinks after preparationSuitable for natural-looking layouts and biotope aquariumsContents: 150 gInstructions for useRinse thoroughly before use. For use in the aquarium, it is recommended to boil the Wood Sinking Chips for approx. 20 minutes or soak them for 24–72 hours so that they sink more effectively and any initial release of substances is reduced. Then add them in small quantities in specific locations, for example behind rocks, at the foot of slopes or along natural drift lines.Zoo Roco TipWood Sinking Chips look particularly natural when they are not spread out over a large area, but placed strategically in small clusters – for example, behind rocks, in crevices or at the junctions between sand, soil and hardscape. This creates a naturally developed layout without the aquarium looking overloaded.
