I am using Pacific Bedding humidifying green forest moss and it gets moldy after a few days. Can someone please recommend something else or tell me how this is avoided? Thanks

That is one of the things I am working on(testing) In nature, the hogs on my site, nest in silty sand. No plant material or rich soils of any kind.
In captivity, I am testing a sand/coco fiber mix and the exact same sand they used in nature. I can't say which is better yet, but neither molded, which is your question. Also a sphagnum/sand mix does not mold either. Good luck and post your results please. Best wishes

I use peat moss in mine. It doesn't seem to mold

The only problem I have seen with peat moss is it generates its own heat and maintains too high of a temperature for my application
