Zoo Med Hermit Soil Coconut Fiber Brick 650g

Hermit crabs seem to enjoy very much.

I have a 10 gallon tank for 4 hermits. Thinking 2 blocks of this stuff should be enough to do a time or two of cleaning, thats what I order. Wrong! 2 blocks will last me 2 years at this rate! It just keeps going and going! Great value for your buck!

I love that it holds so much moisture, but keeps the habitat from developing mold or mildew. I will probably order more soon!

Works well

Perfect for our hermit crabs. Much better than sand or some of the other things we have tried that are specifically for reptiles or hermit crabs but ended up being the wrong consistency for our crabs to crawl in. Make sure this is at least twice as deep as your largest crab, they need to be able to bury themselves when they molt. Sadly, we were not told this when we bought our hermit crabs at the mall and were told that an inch of sand was plenty -- so make sure you educate yourself. This comes in a small brick and then you just add water to it and it expands to be plenty for our 10 gallon tank.

Easy to use, easy to drain and seams to hold moisture for my crabs. I have 3 tanks and I use half sand, and this fiber, totally will buy again.

It came open an has a horrible smell

One of the shells is unsuitable for hermit crabs. The bag says small/medium but the whole in one shell is way too big for a small/medium crab. By the time the crab would be large enough for that whole, the shell would be too small for the body. Only 4 shells in the bag total. Disappointing quality control.

My hermit crabs love this stuff. They travel over it & are able to bury themselves in it very easily.

Good product
