Currently, there is no source for cypress mulch in Southern Idaho that I can find. Also Idaho / cold is not conducive to growning orchids so no orchid bark is available either. There is pine bark however but I have heard that it is also not recommended. My question is why?
Buying cypress mulch at Petsmart would cost a fortune and they don't stock enough anyway. The boy that I putting in the enclosure is hibernating and will be awake when I get him but my guess is that he will go back to sleep right away. The enclosure is temporary by the way and is a converted closet so top soil is out.
I might be able to find aspen shavings in sufficient quantities for now. Another idea was to put down outdoor carpeting and a bunch of loose blankets for him to burrow in.
I would really appreciate your thoughts and ideas.
