Oscars new cage

[MissSkittles]

Hi. I’m glad you decided to stick around. It seems like you have a lot of changes and improvements to make. It may seem overwhelming so I suggest a nice deep breath, make a list of what everyone is telling you and then tackle one thing at a time.

It’s spray foam covered in silicone and coconut fibre. You can see the whole build in this thread.

Wish I had seen that last week before I set up my enclosure. Oh well...idea for next time.

Ya. It’s fairly expensive for all the spray foam and silicone. Next time I’m only doing parts of it instead of the whole thing.

Oof just bought the mulch but I only feed him by hand so eating it is low risk?

Yeah unfortunately these guys will eat anything. So the mulch has to go. You don't want to deal with impaction. Also when you get your live plants you will want to put 1 inch or larger river rock on top of the soil in the pots. Or yes he will eat the dirt too lol.

Make his cage bioactive.... Cover all the dirt with leaf litter... Bioactive only way to go IMO.... I know some members that have Isopods on deck.
