Review: CONSEJO: humedecerlo un poco con un spray de agua antes de usar para evitar sequedad y polvo - Genial, viene muchisima cantidad y es barato, a mi Mickey le encantó nada mas verlo due directo a escarbar jeje (sirve como enriquecimiento ambiental para hamsters) 🐹💕
Review: Super - Super! Je l'utilise pour mon gecko léopard. Largement mieux que les blocs car c'est impossible de faire sécher la terre une fois mouillée. Je vais continuer à acheter ce produit.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good stuff.
*by D***M on 27 January 2026*

Awesome stuff. This is dry coconut fibre substrate that will hold humidity well if you add water to it, but it comes as a dry substrate which is perfect for desert dwelling reptiles or tarantulas. Good price for the size.
