It certainly can't hurt, although on another forum the resident "experts" say it will cause mould problems, never happens, if a tiny piece of washed carrot causes a mould problem then you need to reconsider your whole set-up if you ask me! All it does is dry out if your ventilation is insufficient, always does for me even in wet rainforest type enclosures.</p></blockquote><p></p>
