Answer
Hello Jaime,

That is such a cute name, Dobby!  
Are you using the moss in his cave/hide for the moisture, correct?
Well, as long as he is not going to the bathroom on or in the moss then you really don't need to change out the moss very frequently unless it is looking dirty.  
You can change it out monthly if you would like to, that is not a problem.  You can just toss it outside, since it is biodegradable.

I hope he is doing well!
