This fine coconut chip substrate suits keepers of reptiles and amphibians who want a natural, low-dust bedding that is ready to use without preparation beyond soaking. It is sold as a compact compressed brick, so it takes up little storage space until it is needed.
Why it matters
- The brick expands to more than 70 L once soaked in water, so a single 4.5 kg pack yields a large volume of substrate.
- The chips are triple-rinsed, which leaves the material nearly free of dust during handling and filling.
- Low salt content, with an EC below 300 µS/cm, limits mineral load in the enclosure.
- The material holds moisture and absorbs odours, and it is resistant to mould.
