Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate – Coconut Husk Reptile Bedding and Coconut Fiber Bedding Keep your pets happy and healthy with Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate. Recyclable coconut fiber bedding provides an excellent habitat substrate for a variety of pets including many amphibians, reptiles and invertebrates. Coconut husk reptile bedding is naturally ideal for use in terrariums for pets that require specific humidity levels to be maintained for their health and happiness. Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate is made primarily from the husks of coconuts. Coconut fiber bedding is meant to be kept slightly damp to maintain proper humidity levels as well as absorb and break down odor and waste. This makes it ideal for use as coconut husk reptile bedding or amphibian bedding in tropical terrariums. Many pets thrive in environments with specific humidity levels; such pets include: dry land newts frogs, toads, tortoises, box turtles, other terrestrial turtles, forest-dwelling lizards, snakes and invertebrates like hermit crabs thrive in environments with specific and constant humidity levels. Each pet type has their own unique needs so be sure to understand your pet’s ideal humidity levels. Monitor your habitat’s humidity and then dampen or replace your coconut fiber bedding as needed. Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate is ideal for burrowing pets like some varieties of tortoise, turtle and toad. If you have a burrowing pet, you can fill your terrarium with enough coconut husk reptile bedding to a depth of 1.5 to 2 times the height of your pet. That way, there is ample material to create natural burrows for resting or natural hibernation cycles. Eco Earth coconut fiber substrate is easy to maintain and replace. Spot clean as needed and replace entirely at least every 6 months. Old or soiled substrate can be sustainably composted or recycled.

Exceptional Substrate! Great Deal Getting The Larger Quantity!
We have a leopard gecko in a 20 gallon enclosure with a number of hides and items for stimulation. After a lot of research we have settled on using this substrate as it is natural and very gentle on our little reptile. The material is easy to pour out and doesn’t create clouds of dust. It is also easy to scoop for maintenance between heavy cleanings. This bags is about 3 times the quantity of what we were previously buying locally for about 2/3 the price – basically we get a bag free! Strongly recommend this substrate for reptiles and this larger bag for the economics!

Amazing, not messy, and easy to use.
I bought this for my pet frog and it’s by far the best coconut fiber I’ve found so far. You do not need to wet it, it doesn’t need to be expanded, and it is incredibly easy to use and isn’t hard or chunky at all. It’s soft and perfect for my frog’s terrarium. I assume it’s best in cases where you put moss over it though, since I think a small animal could crawl under it (cricket, frog, etc.) but I wouldn’t know since I always put moss on top. Overall, amazing product and perfect!

Great for frogs and toads! Much better than the bricks
This is my first time using loose coco substrate and I found it a million times better than the coco bricks I used to buy from Exo Terra. I love that I can just pour it in without the mess and hassle of soaking and breaking apart the bricks. What makes this especially great for frogs is there is not a ridiculous amount of coco string in it. The large amounts of coco string from the bricks would stick to my frogs sticky skin so badly, they looked like they had little fur coats on. I would have to separate out a lot of the string so they wouldn’t constantly be covered in it, but with this there is just the right amount of coco string in it. It is very soft with no random sharp chunks like I’ve found previously with the bricks, which saves me the trouble of hand picking out the chunks so my toads can burrow safely. The only con I see so far is the bag is not resealable so if you’re planning on keeping this for multiple changes keep in mind you’ll have to tape it closed.

Easy to use for geckos
Natural is easy to break up and smells good. The geckos seem to like it. I think it is moist enough they can dig and climb in it well.

Good natural substrate, but dirty
The Zoo Med Eco Earth Loose Coconut Fiber Substrate (24 qts) is an excellent, versatile option for creating a natural, comfortable environment for reptiles, amphibians, and small mammals. Iâve been using this substrate for my ball python, and it works wonderfully in terms of maintaining humidity and providing a soft, burrow-friendly surface.One of the biggest strengths of this substrate is its moisture retention. It keeps the humidity levels in my ball pythonâs enclosure just right, which is essential for shedding and overall health. The material is soft and safe, and itâs easy to spot clean or replace as needed. Plus, being made from renewable coconut husks, itâs eco-friendly and compostable, which I really appreciate.The 24-quart bag offers great value for the price, providing plenty of substrate to fill even larger enclosures. Itâs also free of harmful chemicals, so I feel confident that my snake is living in a safe and non-toxic environment.However, one issue Iâve noticed is that the loose coconut fiber tends to stick to my ball pythonâs prey items, like rats, during feeding. This can be a bit of a hassle, as I want to avoid the risk of ingestion. To work around this, Iâve started feeding my snake outside the enclosure, which solves the problem but adds an extra step.Overall, despite this minor drawback, the Eco Earth substrate is a high-quality, natural option that Iâd recommend to anyone looking for a reliable substrate.

I wouldn’t trade it for any other
This is the only stuff my snake likes. She hates everything else. In this stuff, she digs around and looks happy as a clam… sticking out her little tounge, eyes sparkling with wonder. So cute. It’s very soft, easy to clean out dirty patches, and can be sifted in a basic cleaner with ease. Not too dusty, it’s heavy enough to stay down rather than float around the room. No allergies with this stuff, doesn’t irritate my sensitive nose, even when cleaning it.It doesn’t hold humidity very well- but I tried coco husk from zoo med as well, the kind you literally soak to bring to life, and there was no change in humidity. Nothing beats a big water dish and a towel a for a very effective at keeping the humidity in snake comfort range (40%-60%).The snake likes it nice and deep- usually a lot of the bag is needed. But this is a really great price that no pet store can beat.tl;drPros: Light, soft, easy to clean, snakes love it, I love it, no allergies, cheapCons: Need a lot, doesn’t increase humidity(But I haven’t found any others that don’t have that problem so I won’t take off a star.)

Super! Je l’utilise pour mon gecko léopard. Largement mieux que les blocs car c’est impossible de faire sécher la terre une fois mouillée. Je vais continuer à acheter ce produit.
