Zoo Med Eco Earth Compressed Coconut Fiber Expandable Substrate

Build a natural, diggable base with Zoo Med Eco Earth compressed coconut fiber substrate. Keep humidity steady so tropical pets stay comfortable and active. Hydrate the compact 1.4 lb brick and watch it expand to about 7-8 liters of soft bedding that shapes easily and helps burrowers feel secure. Choose a single brick to refresh enclosures without storing bulky bags.

Key Features

• Moisture-holding coco fiber: Support stable humidity in tropical setups.
• Burrow-friendly texture: Encourage tunneling and natural behaviors.
• Expandable brick: Add water to yield about 7-8 L and save space.
• Easy to shape: Form hides and humid zones with a quick fluff.
