Mold when growing seeds

19 years ago

I have a question. I have been growing a mix of rye, wheat and oats for our guinea pigs, in black trays. I use a mix of peat moss and soil. My problem:

White fuzz, which I'm assuming is mold, grows on top of the soil. That is a problem because mold will kill guinea pigs. The guinea pigs love to have the whole tray in their habitat! They like to lay in it and they like to eat the 'grass'.

What can I do to stop the mold/fuzz from forming in the first place?

What can I do to get rid of the mold/fuzz? I need something nature, that is edible.

Thank you.
