White rotten wood

White rotten wood – Nutrition as in nature

White rotten wood is produced by natural decomposition in the forest. Fungi break down the wood, making it soft, fibrous and particularly rich in nutrients.

It is precisely this condition that makes it ideal for terrarium animals that feed on organic material.

Indispensable for Isopods and millipedes

For Isopods and millipedes white rotten wood is a central component of their diet. The animals actively eat it and absorb important nutrients in the process.

In combination with foliage and forest humus creates a near-natural environment that significantly promotes animal behavior.

More than just food

White rotten wood not only provides food, but also structure. It serves as a refuge while at the same time storing moisture.

Especially in combination with moss or loose substrate creates a stable microclimate that has a positive effect on moulting and activity.

Use in the terrarium

You can simply place the wood on the substrate or work it in lightly. It works particularly well if you combine it with fodder leavesas this creates a natural cycle.

The animals actively use this mixture, which keeps your terrarium lively and functional.
