Bark Chips Coarse

ProRep bark chips can be used for all species that require a humid environment. Amphibians, woodland or jungle reptiles and invertebrates all thrive on this safe 100% natural product.

ProRep Bark Chips are harvested from sustainable commercial forests in the UK and Europe and is one of the most widely used and trusted substrates. It helps to provide a suitable environment for all species that require high humidity by absorbing water and releasing it slowly back into the atmosphere. Its firm but loose texture allows animals to burrow it they want while remaining stable enough to support cage furniture.

DIRECTIONS:
Spread the substrate evenly over the bottom of the enclosure to a depth of at least 2" (5cm). Bark Chips can be moistened to provide extra humidity but avoid making them too wet or waterlogged as this will cause them to rot and produce unpleasant smells and odours. As they dry out they can be sprayed to maintain the required moisture level. The enclosure should be spot cleaned daily by removing soiled areas of substrate and replacing with fresh bark chips. The bark chips should be replaced every two or three weeks or more frequently if it becomes heavily soiled. If you are using an under-tank heat mat as your heat source do not use a thick layer of Bark Chips as this may cause the heat mat to overheat.
