Why Use Dried Oak Leaves in a Vivarium?
In natural ecosystems, leaf litter plays a vital role—providing shelter, food, and humidity regulation. In vivariums, they offer the same benefits by:

  • Creating a natural forest floor aesthetic

  • Supporting isopods and springtails as a food and habitat source

  • Promoting soil health and decomposition

  • Retaining moisture and humidity for amphibian comfort

  • Offering hiding spots for small terrestrial animals
