DESCRIPTION
Replicate your pet's natural desert environment with this Thrive Natural Compressed Coconut Fiber Bedding. This coconut fiber substrate bedding helps maintain humidity for an environment your pet can feel comfortable in, and provides a setting for your pet to dig and burrow as well. Only at PetSmart.
Features:
Includes: (1) 8 Quart Brick
Environment: Terrarium
Product Weight: 8 Dry QT (7.57 L)
Directions: Place bedding into a large container. Add 4 quarts (3.7 L) per brick of water and let it sit for 20-30 minutes until the bedding completely crumbles apart. Wring out the excess water and place the bedding in the habitat to achieve desired thickness (minimum 2 inches). A 2-3-inch depth is recommended for large pets. Use a substrate sifter to scoop waste daily. If waste material is allowed to collect on the surface, your pet can develop skin and intestinal infections. A clean environment will help you protect the health of your pet.
Care Instructions: Discard waste daily and change out the bedding periodically. Completely replace the substrate every two months or as needed.
Caution: Always wash your hands after handling a pet or cleaning a habitat. Keep out of reach of children.
Advice for Use: For tropical habitats, keep the substrate lightly damp by misting it daily, or several times a week, to help maintain the humidity. For temperate habitats, also occasionally mist substrate to help maintain humidity. For desert habitats, keep the substrate relatively dry. Always use a thermometer and hygrometer in your terrarium to monitor your pet's environmental conditions. Refer to a pet-care guide to determine the proper substrate for your pet. Take precautions to avoid accidental ingestion of any substrate. Feeding your pet from a plate or bowl within the enclosure or in separate enclosures without bedding will help reduce accidental substrate ingestion. Wash your hands after handling a pet or cleaning a habitat.
