Red Oak Dried Leaves For Terrarium-Vivarium-Insect Habitat

You will receive: (1)  2 Gallon bag of dried Red Oak Tree Leaves.  These make excellent leaf litter.  New fresh oak leaves for this year. Dead leaves on the floor of the vivarium are referred to as leaf litter which play an important role in a natural vivarium setting.  Leaf litter is the most natural ground covering for the terrarium and most closely replicates the typical habitat rainforest species will encounter in the wild. Leaf litter provides visual barriers and safe havens for the vivarium inhabitants such as dart frogs, millipedes, etc.  As leaf litter decomposes it will add valuable nutrients to the substrate as well as sustaining large populations of microfauna. In turn microfauna will act as janitors or cleaners in a vivarium. Microfauna (isopods, springtails, etc.) also provide a good source of food for a lot of vivarium inhabitants. Red Oak leaves can be used for millipedes, isopods, dart frogs, small toads, reptiles and hermit crabs.
