Customers say
Customers find the hide visually appealing, with one noting its gorgeous shade of green, and appreciate its functionality for lepidopter geckos. Moreover, the product is well-made, retains moisture effectively, and customers consider it worth the money. However, the size receives mixed feedback, with some finding it good-sized while others say it’s slightly larger than expected. Additionally, the moss quality is a concern, as customers note it’s not real moss and there’s not enough to cover the metal.

Perfect addition to any reptile setup!
I cannot say enough good things about this mossy cave hide! The quality is top-notch and it blends seamlessly into my tank. The color is a gorgeous shade of green that looks so natural and lifelike. It gives my reptile the perfect hiding spot where it feels secure and comfortable. The size is perfect for a small to medium-sized reptile and the material is sturdy, not flimsy at all. It has a nice textured surface that adds to the realism and provides extra grip for climbing. I love how easy it is to clean, making maintenance a breeze. Itâs the perfect way to make your reptile feel right at home while also adding a beautiful decorative touch to your tank. My pet absolutely loves it and spends so much time inside it. If youâre looking for a functional and aesthetically pleasing hide for your pet, this is definitely the one to get!

Picky hermit crab’s heaven
This product is truly outstanding. I am a new hermit crab owner and have been trying to make my crab happy and comfortable. I bought everything they told me to get, and yet, my crab dig himself into the sand ALL the time and just wasn’t happy. I saw this product and recognized it from many crab habitats I’ve looked at online.As soon as I installed this item in the habitat, close to the terrarium humidifier, my crab crawled its way in. Checked it out and stayed there for the longest time. Last time I checked, he was hanging out in there. I am very happy I finally found something that mimics its endemic environment.It is cozy and brings a nice sturdy metal chain to hang into the top of the terrarium, although I am not currently using it that way, It can be detached if necessary. It retains the humidity thus creating a warm environment where my crab enjoys spending time at.It is very simple, yet, it makes sense. Size is good, I believe I will be able to use it for a while. I do recognize I will have to purchase another one to keep it fresh but that is necessary for all other reptile, crab habitat I guess. Humidity dose that.Great product, I will purchase again.

Wash/Soak First If Using For Aquarium!!!
I love the look of this moss cave so much! BUT!! Learn from my mistakes!!You should 100% shake it out (lots of excess moss and dirt, better too much than too little!) as well as soak it in water before putting it in your aquarium. By washing and soaking more excess leaves will come off and I also have some suspicions that there may be some green dye. After changing the water the green coloration did not appear again.Definitely worth the tiny first steps for such a cozy hide out though!

Good Hide
A bit bigger than expected however seems to be great quality, comes with a chain so you can hang it up and have it be a sky hide seems to be a great product highly recommend

Donât use for aquarium
It fouls aquarium water and the moss appears to be dead as it didnât grow. Lost $100 worth of fish. The paint on the sides rubs off easily.

It’s very sturdy and well made!
Let me start this off with; I gave it 5 stars because it is definitely great quality however I did not pay attention to the size cuz I have ADHD and was just excitedly and impulsively buying things for my jumping spider lol bit it’s ok…I only ordered 2 ð but I’m not gonna bother with a return…I am antisocial so I refuse to reach out and go through doing a refund and I’m also scared of forgetting to return them anyway. Lol so I’m going to just sell them to friends or post them on a local page on fb for my area…anyway; for those of you with larger reptile pets or true spiders(? I think that’s what their generally called…still learning – hence my excitement of my new dopamine hobby) this is a FANTASTIC little hanging bed for your pets ð just not small ones especially if the enclosure is too small like mine…thank you to the seller for the great product! My fault for overlooking the details! Haha sorry for the rambling….

ZERO STARS
Owners of Lovebirds – DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!! I had also purchased a similar product: SuperMoss 56015 Shack Birdhouse, 6 by 8-Inch, Fresh Green. The Shack Birdhouse almost KILLED one of my Lovebirds. Lovebirds are notorious mechanics – they’ll try to take apart everything!! Apparently the birds removed enough of the mossy covering (inside AND outside of the Shack Birdhouse to expose very tiny wires used to hold the item together. Henry’s leg got trapped by one of these wires. The rest of his body was outside of the Shack Birdhouse and his leg was trapped inside it. He was making the most awful distress calls and I didn’t know what was wrong at first. I tore off the roof and could finally see the wire that trapped him. I unhooked the Shack and laid it on the floor of the aviary so Henry could at least lay more comfortably on the front of the Shack – it helped relieve some of the pressure on his leg. I was finally able to cut the wire and release his leg. Henry STILL isn’t flying or moving about much and there is a small bright red band around his leg about 1/8″ above his claw, so I’m taking him to the vet TONIGHT – I don’t care what it costs, I just want to make sure he’s going to be OK. Again, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE – DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM FOR SMALL BIRDS – especially Lovebirds! I will NEVER purchase another product made by this company! After all of this, I took the Galapagos Mossy Cave Hide, 4″, Green out of the cage and found the same type of wire, used to make this product. So THIS PRODUCT COULD ALSO MAIM OR KILL YOUR LOVEBIRDS!I was so happy when I received both of the above items, my lovebirds absolutely loved the items. I simply cannot believe that my precious little lovebird may end up losing his foot – I was away from the home for about an hour when this happened and have no idea just how long he was trapped, but it took me about an hour to figure out what was wrong and to be able to free him. If he ends up losing his leg, I intend to sue the supplier – NOT AMAZON! I intend to also, contact the supplier of the Galapagos Mossy Cave Hide and WARN THEM that their product is DANGEROUS – NOT MEANT FOR SMALL BIRDS!!!!My little lovebirds LOVE this hideaway! 🙂

Amazing!!!!! Can hang it if you have a tall cage or you can remove the hanging chain and use it just in any small enclosure for any small to medium reptile, etc. Iâm sure even rodents would love it

I love these moss hides. If your little creature doesn’t like it, maybe its preys will use it as a shelter. It’s beautiful in a terrarium and has a very natural appearance overall. The only issue I have is that it can “shed” its moss as you manipulate it, so it can get a bit messy when you move it or want to clean your terrarium. Other than that it’s a nearly flawless hide!

He usually loves to hide for days, especially after eating but he ate yesterday and came out to explore this within a few hours of putting it in his cage!
