Fir bark?

[thumpersalley]

I have a small bag of fir bark, the kind some people use for some species or reptile. Can I use this for my different species of burrowing roaches? I also have access to peat moss & just trimmed/green oak leaves, just trimmed cherry tree leaves, just trimmed willow leaves & tons of grass, clover & dandelion so Im thinking of a combo of all of these. I dont have access to rotting oak leaves. I tried doing a search on this forum for "fir bark" but the engine kept saying I was using too small of a word. Kim

yes the fur bark is safe (i use it with some roaches), for the leaves let them dry out first thought hope that helps.

Fir bark is fine if it is, as noted above, dried. As for the leaves, find dead hardwood leaves. They should be brown. It really doesn't matter what state of decomposition they're in, as long as they're brown.

What about magnolia leaves? I got a bunch of those but havent been able to find anything on line about using them.
