Questions & Answers

4 Customer Questions

What are the "ingredients"? What all is mixed in there?

Does the substrate come dry or damp?

Answer by Chewy • Jan 15, 2025
This substrate comes dry. It can be used as needed or water can be added for a more damp substrate.

Does this substrate require the use of live plants and microfauna?

Answer by Chewy • Jul 18, 2025
This substrate can be used on its own without plants or microfauna. However, for a setup to be considered fully bioactive, it would typically include elements like isopods, springtails, and live plants.

How much of this is needed for a 29 gallon tank?

Answer by Chewy • Jun 30, 2025
A 4-quart bag will provide a 1.25-inch depth in a small terrarium (12 inches wide and long).

Easiest way to do a bioactive enclosure!!

This bedding is fantastic! So easy to use to set up a bioactive enclosure for any desert animal. I used it for both hedgehogs & tenrecs.
