For burrowing species especially, a coarser substrate holds tunnels and structure far better – finer substrates tend to collapse in on themselves, which isn't ideal if digging is a key part of your animal's natural behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003emould and decay resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e is also worth highlighting. Chunkier organic substrates can sometimes struggle in consistently humid setups, so the fact this one holds up well over time is a genuine point in its favour. A solid choice if you want texture and humidity control without sacrificing longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirections for Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoak before use to expand and retain moisture.
