The leaves suit isopods as food and hiding places, and the same layer gives dart frogs and other small animals cover to move under. Each bag is filled from leaves collected where no herbicides or pesticides are used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat the leaves do in a terrarium\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe litter is hand picked and then sorted into each bag, which keeps the mix to leaves rather than woody pieces. In a bioactive terrarium the leaves sit on the under layer, and the manufacturer states that this layer helps hold humidity for tropical species. It is also listed as suitable for bioactive terrariums and habitats generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow to use the leaf layer\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread the leaves as a layer over the existing substrate. Isopods use the leaves as both food and shelter, and small animals such as dart frogs move under them for cover. The leaves break down over time, and the manufacturer's direction is to add a new layer when that happens so the process carries on.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions buyers ask about this leaf litter\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat can the leaves be used as food for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsopods can eat the leaves, and the same layer gives them a place to hide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere do the leaves come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves are collected in an environment free of herbicides and pesticides, and each bag is hand picked and sorted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat size is the bag?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bag measures 25.4 x 22.9 x 7.6 cm (10 x 9 x 3 in) and carries the model number ISO12.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the leaf layer need to be replaced?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaves break down over time, so the manufacturer's direction is to add another layer to keep the process going.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Gallon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrowns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISO12\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eUnit count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 gram\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecific uses\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIsopods, Pet food, Reptile Bedding, Reptile substrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTarget audience\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ereptile-and-amphibian-pets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eItem dimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25.4 x 22.9 x 7.6 cm (10 x 9 x 3 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Generic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44478663557183,"sku":null,"price":37.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/generic-terrarium-substrate-1-gallon.jpg?v=1794741847","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/live-oak-leaf-litter-terrarium-substrate","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
