Riare Coconut Coir Reptile Bedding, 8-Brick Pack, Moisture-Retaining Natural Fibre

Riare Coconut Fiber Substrate is an 8-brick coco coir bedding for reptiles, amphibians, and other burrowing animals, with each compressed brick measuring 7.8 x 3.9 x 1.97 inches (19.8 x 9.9 x 5 cm).

• Eight natural coconut fibre bricks — make a supply of bedding that expands when soaked.
• Odorless fibre that retains humidity — helps maintain moisture in a terrarium.
• Absorbs liquids, water, waste, and odors — helps keep indoor enclosures looking cleaner and smelling fresher.
• Compressed, dense bricks — store in compact form until you are ready to prepare the substrate.
• Biodegradable and compostable coconut fibre — can be reused in a garden or for plants.

Reptiles and other small animals that dig, burrow, or need a moisture-retaining bedding benefit from a substrate suited to those enclosure needs. Riare coco coir is made for terrariums and aquariums, with natural fibre that supports burrowing behaviour and absorbs enclosure waste.

How does Riare coconut fibre bedding work in an enclosure?

Riare Coconut Fiber Substrate retains humidity and is designed to support the natural digging and burrowing behaviour of small animals. The soft, breathable fibre provides a comfortable substrate, and the product is also described as enhancing aquarium temperature. Its ability to absorb water, liquids, waste, and odors helps maintain a cleaner-looking enclosure and a fresher-smelling indoor tank than bedding such as wood shavings or stone.

• The natural coconut fibre is odorless.
• The substrate is intended for animals that need bedding able to retain moisture.

How do you prepare the compressed coco coir bricks?

Soak a brick in water; the compressed coconut fibre absorbs the water and expands into a fluffy substrate. The bricks are dense before preparation, making them convenient to store before use. Add water to expand the fibre into bedding for the enclosure.

• Each pack contains 8 coconut fibre bricks.
• Each brick measures 7.8 x 3.9 x 1.97 inches (19.8 x 9.9 x 5 cm).

Which animals and disposal options suit this substrate?

Riare Coconut Fiber Substrate is suitable for frogs, hermit crabs, snakes, turtles, lizards, chameleons, geckos, salamanders, snails, orb pythons, spiders, and other burrowing animals. Its natural, organic coconut fibre is biodegradable and compostable; after use, it can be disposed of in a garden or backyard, or reused as fertiliser for flowers, potted plants, and other plants.

• Made from natural coconut fibre.
• Supports reuse of the material as plant fertiliser.

This bedding suits keepers of reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates whose enclosure needs a moisture-retaining substrate that can be prepared from compact bricks. It is a natural coconut fibre option for burrowing animals, with a compostable material that can also be reused for plants.
