Zoo Med's new Eco Earth Coconut Chips is a natural coconut coir substrate made from an eco-friendly, renewable resource. The material is highly absorbent (holds up to 8 times it's dry weight in water!) and retains that moisture well, releasing it slowly to create a humid, tropical environment perfect for a variety of different reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates.

To use, simply soak the brick in a bucket of water for about 30 minutes. Break apart any remaining chunks and squeeze to remove excess water. Add the expanded product to the terrarium along, or mix with other substrates to create the perfect substrate blend for your needs. Spot clean substrate daily, and change completely every 3-6 months or as needed. Once the substrate has been expanded, the Coconut Chips can be left to dry for use in dryer habitats. Keepers control the moisture level by misting or adding water as necessary.

Currently I am using calcium sand. It doesn’t seem to be effecting Ash at all. Should I continue to use the sand or get something else such as eco earth?
I am setting up a new habitat for my 2 sibling gerbils. I want it to be as natural of a habitat as their ancestors in the wild live in. Which substrate would you recommend that would be as natural as they would receive in their desert environment?
I just bought some loose coconut fiber bedding. They used to just have dirt. After the change he began to try to escape to the female toad's habitat and hasnt calmed down. He is also getting the fiber grounds in his water bowl. Is there anything I can do to calm him down and also keep his bowl clean? Our female adapted just fine and doesnt get any in her bowl. I think its because he keeps jumping around and making a mess.
Can I buy fresh coconut for my gerbil ? With or without the meat ? If not , do I need dry the coconut completely before giving to gerbils ?

Today I’ve noticed my Leopard Geckos right eye has swollen ever so slightly, and has sand in it. The Gecko is EXTREMELY tame, and will let let me wash its eyes but I’m unsure on what I should use? Cotton Bud, Hot Water? Would like to fix this problem before it needs to be done by a vet. I have Desert Sand (Recommended by the shop owner of where I purchased my Gecko.) Should I change to Wood Chip to avoid future problems? Thank you in advance, Daniel.
