As far as I'm aware you can freeze the stuff, especially if you're gonna use chunks of it at a time. What I would recommend is ALWAYS use boiling water when you want to use the stuff, it's to kill off any remaining bacteria.. Watch the stuff grow like magic when water hits it!

Good answer, Oscar! My small addition: it also depends where you get your moss from. If it comes from any business that has reptiles, *always* freeze or add boiled water to it. If comes from somewhere unrelated, such as a garden supply store, your risk is much lower.
