More litter on substrate

Added more Eucalyptus robusta and Liquidambar formosana as substrate.
Liquidambar formosana seems the best material for food since they’re very crisp, crush very easily when they’re bone dry, and they don’t seem to contain as much tannin as other leaves such as Eucalyptus robusta, they’re very light colour already the first time they dry up. Leaves from Eucalyptus robusta need many wet/dry cycles, and still leak tannin on boil/steam and still appear deep brown.

Went out to collect Liquidambar formosana, found a few big trees alongside Tai Po Road (Tai Po section near Tai Po Au Park).
Add more lightly crushed Liquidambar formosana, should start making Liquidambar formosana as their main cover, and Eucalyptus globulus as their main food.
Didn’t show a lot of interests in Apple lately, still small pieces left from yesterday.
