“Very nice substitute for sand. I use this in a rodent enclosure for a dig box filler and it's nice, heavy with very little dust compared to sand. It feels great putting your hand through it, no jagged or sharp bits, just teeny granules!”

“Easy to clean, best for skin. If you are still using sand in your reptile cages, consider switching to this product. Crushed walnut shells are light-weight, easy to clean, and better for your reptile's health.”

“Pincushion perfection! So I don't have a reptile, I have a big beautiful extra labby labradoodle and I get all her favorites from Chewy. Who knew they had sewing supplies? This is the BEST for filling pin cushions and a great price! We love Chewy!”

“My dwarf hamster loves it! Super soft and clean sand. My hamster started digging through the sand and cleaning itself as soon as I placed the bath in the cage, so adorable! I am happy for my pet and would recommend this product. Plenty of sand for a number of cleanings and refills of sand bath.”

“Beautiful! These rocks are beautiful! They are more green than pictured, which is what I was hoping for.”
By Unknown on Oct 14, 2022
“Lovely ambiance. These pebbles really added to the ambiance of my tank. The colors are lovely and not garish. My humans find them much more reusable because of their size. They are more like small rocks. They clean up well and are easy to move when vacuuming. You need a pound per gallon that is an accurate estimate. They arrived quick to my humans tank and made her happy.”

“Perfect for my turtle tank. I bought these for my two red eared sliders and I love them. They make the tank look much nicer and I think the colors of the pebbles really compliment the turtles' coloration. They also provide traction for my turtles to moreeasily move around the floor of their tank and keep them from kicking up debris when they walk on the tank floor. I plan to buy more of these same stones when I upgrade them to a bigger tank.”

“Very pretty colors. I bought these for forcing paperwhites and like the natural green colors. Next time, I will look for pebbles instead of gravel, which is rather jagged.”

“Beautiful natural pebbles. I have been using the small pebbles in my aquarium for many years now and love that they are all natural and not coated. We set up a turtle tank and I knew immediately I wanted these! It took 4 bags to cover the bottom of our 55 gallon and the bigger stones are so pretty.”

“large, smooth and polished. I got these large sized and the next size down to mix in two of my tanks. They are slightly grey / black so don't be surprised, but I think they look awesome. Have a very smooth surface which I like. Much better price than I saw anywhere else and delivered to your door. Nice not to have to lug around 100lbs of gravel from the local store!”

“Great for Aquarium. I upgraded my tank from a 30 gallon to a 75 gallon and had to upgrade the gravel too. The old gravel was small and my goldfish got so big I was afraid he would suck in too many stones and choke. This gravel is the perfect size for him to still suck up a stone or two and spit them out. The multicolored stones add a very natural look to the aquarium. They are nice and smooth with variable sizes mixed in. Very happy with the purchase.”

“Perfect Pebbles to re-pot m Perfect Pebbles to re-pot m Perfect Pebbles to re-pot Perfect Pebbles to re-pot my plant! I did not need these for any fish tank, I actually used them to re-pot my huge indoor Bamboo plant!!! Some stems I have had for 10+ years, I have repotted in the past and it has been smaller so I would go to craft store. Then I needed a larger amount, and this 20lb bag was perfect (Used it all) and very reasonable priced!! They are pretty rocks! I just ran through a strain of water to ""clean"" but they were perfect for what I needed!!! My first chewy.com order and I do not even have pets, BUT will be back when I do!!!! THANKS! !”

“looks natural. It was just enough to cover the bottom of my ten gallon fish tank, I would recommend buying two or more for a tank larger than ten gallons. I really liked the naturalist look it gave to my tank, so I’ll be buying again.”
By genesis on Oct 31, 2020
“Great color - nutty mix. It’s a great price for a 5lb bag and the pebbles are the perfect size. I definitely recommend taking your time rinsing substrate, it’s pretty dusty and can cloud your tank water otherwise.”
By RoseBetta on Jun 23, 2022
“Perfect for Aquariums. This product is a nice medium size pebble and was clean and dust free. Rinsed as recommended, but did not appear to need to do so.”
