    Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2024
    My sulcata tortoise likes to burrow and dig, so I tried this for the first time. The bricks are heavy and provide ample substrate for him, he is about 5 pounds, especially if mixed with mulch. The price was much better than that of the same kind of material at the local pet stores. I am careful to keep the substrate moist since I read that allowing it to dry out too much can cause respiratory problems in tortoises. We'll see how it goes. So far, so good.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to break up and fluff up after WETTING per instructions.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2024
    This is a very early review but since this is kind of a process with lots of information, I wanted to provide my first experience so far and I’ll continue to add my review as time goes on.

    NOTE-these come delivered as VERY HARD COMPACTED BRICKS! That’s NORMAL!. Add water like instructed and they’ll come apart for you to FLUFF UP!!

    I bought the 2 pack and have never used this type of bedding for our Russian Tortoise before now. We bought him a new house/condo that’s enormous compared to his big glass fish tank. Technically they shouldn’t be in glass but it’s what he was given to us in and unfortunately we haven’t had the extra money to buy him anything better until now due to inflation.
    Anywho….

    I followed the directions that I found here on Amazons page on how to break up these bricks. I used nine 16.9oz bottles of water. Clearly you’re not supposed to give reptiles of any sort tap water from your faucet due to all the chemicals. It can make them severally sick and even kill them. So bottled or purified water is best! Even if it’s just to soak their bedding to fluff it up. Actually the first brick I used 9 bottles, the 2nd brick I used only 7. Reason being is my little dude needs to be in dry bedding, not moist or wet. So I used less after learning how it came out the first time.
    Trial and error I guess :).
    I used regular buckets. I’m not sure how many gallons they are but I’ll provide pictures so you have an idea. A basin would work good too assuming you’re doing one brick at a time. This stuff broke up extremely easy after it got wet. It was instant except for the very middle, that took a tad longer due to how long it takes to fully absorb the water. It only took about 5 mins for each brick between wetting, breaking and fluffing it up. So not long at all and it was easy. I’m quite happy how easy this process was. Now I’m just waiting for it to dry up a bit before adding it into little dudes new enclosure. I’m not sure if it’ll be dry enough tonight or if we’ll have to wait until tomorrow.

    I want to mention a few things regarding the negative reviews I read and to hopefully shed some light.
    The people who complained about these being hard bricks and weren’t able to use them, and were mad they were useless, well…. clearly didn’t read the instructions. These are compacted for a reason. Simply pouring the 4-5 liters of water over it does the trick. In their defense the packaging didn't provide instructions, just a picture of reptiles.
    However they could’ve very easily found them on the page they bought it from on Amazon or even used a search engine like google. So please, do not listen to those bad reviews regarding that.. It was a human error. Not the product or company’s fault.
    Someone else complained they had bugs in theirs. Fortunately I haven’t experienced that with the ones I received. I almost put the buckets outside to help dry it out faster then realized I don’t want to do that incase animals or bugs get into it. So instead they’ll stay in the house or down in the basement. Mine do not have any foul odor like someone else mentioned in a review, maybe they got a bad batch? Mine smells like nothing.
    I hope some of this information helps. Once we have his new home all set up, I will post some videos and pictures and will let you know if he likes this bedding VS the bark we were buying before. The bark was also very expensive compared to those stuff. So I’m hoping he loves it since it’s a cheaper option. And if not, then back to buying the bark lol.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD PRICE FOR A DECENT ITEM
    Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024
    Purchased this at a great price, use it for my Hermit Crabs (4). It's easy to mix in a bucket (use very hot water) rotate and mix. I fill my tank 3 times the size of the largest crab shell for their burying needs, and this purchase was able to do that with some left over which I used for veggie seedlings.
    {NOTE: Use hot water, ... hot enough to kill off any white fly eggs that may be present in this soil. If one doesn't', ... then you risk the white fly presence in your tank. This IS COMMON with all soils of this type it seems.}

    This holds the moisture and humidity well, but using a heating pad it can dry out without being aware of it, as the top still remains moist. Every now and then one may need to mix the soil in the habitat while adding a spray of fresh dechlorinated water. Can also be mixed in a clean play sand mixture: 3:1 (3 parts this item, 1 part play sand). Not suggested to use sand alone, that can damage the shells, skin of the tank inhabitants.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Didn't break up like the first bricks I ordered
    Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2024
    I ordered this a couple months ago and it was great. Used half for my turtles, and half for my plants.
    I'm not sure what's wrong with my second order, it looks more like plywood than coconut husks. It didn't expand when I added the water, I had to break it up.
