ZeeDix6Pcs Compressed Coconut Fiber Substrate for Reptiles, 100% Organic Coco Coir Fiber Brick Substrate Fluffy Bearded Dragon Tortoise Snake Terrarium Substrate Loose Natural Husk Terrarium Bedding

I keep Dubia Roaches as pets, not to feed to reptiles, and they absolutely love this substrate. Once rehydrated, it is super fluffy, sturdy enough to hold a good amount of moisture, yet light enough for my bugs to burrow underneath it. Plus, the compact, dehydrated blocks make storage easy.

Purchased this at a great price, use it for my Hermit Crabs (4). It's easy to mix in a bucket (use very hot water) rotate and mix. I fill my tank 3 times the size of the largest crab shell for their burying needs, and this purchase was able to do that with some left over which I used for veggie seedlings.{NOTE: Use hot water, ... hot enough to kill off any white fly eggs that may be present in this soil. If one doesn't', ... then you risk the white fly presence in your tank. This IS COMMON with all soils of this type it seems.}This holds the moisture and humidity well, but using a heating pad it can dry out without being aware of it, as the top still remains moist. Every now and then one may need to mix the soil in the habitat while adding a spray of fresh dechlorinated water. Can also be mixed in a clean play sand mixture: 3:1 (3 parts this item, 1 part play sand). Not suggested to use sand alone, that can damage the shells, skin of the tank inhabitants.

This stuff really expands! Just great in my tortoise tank!

One box has lasted several cage cleaning. I didn't read the instructions at first and couldn't figure out how to break it up. After I realized I needed to soak it in water first it was easy to scrape off enough for the cage and put the remainder back in the box. It's soft, and has a minimal odor, it's perfect for a tortoise.

This is a lot of substrate. Was about 6 inches deep in my 75 gallon aquarium

I LOVE this soil. I had never used it before but I purchased it to use in my Russian tortoise’s enclosure. It came apart easily in water and I was surprised by the scent! It smells absolutely delicious almost like a dessert! My husband could not smell it but I have a strong sense of smell! :) our tortoise loves to burrow in it!

Amazing

As advertised
