Description
Zoo Med Creatures Eco Soil is a specialized substrate designed specifically for small invertebrates and arthropods, such as millipedes, beetles, isopods, and other terrestrial creatures kept in terrariums or enclosures. This substrate is formulated to create a natural and suitable habitat for these tiny organisms.
The Eco Soil is made from a blend of organic materials, including compressed coconut fiber, which provides a soft and moist substrate that mimics the natural environment of these creatures. It creates a comfortable and supportive surface for burrowing, digging, and exploring, allowing them to exhibit their natural behaviors.
One of the key features of Zoo Med Creatures Eco Soil is its excellent moisture retention capacity. It can absorb and hold water, creating a humid microclimate within the enclosure. This helps to maintain the required moisture levels for the well-being and health of invertebrates that thrive in a damp habitat.
The substrate also promotes the growth of beneficial microorganisms, which aid in the breakdown of waste and contribute to a healthy ecosystem within the enclosure. This helps to maintain cleanliness and balance within the habitat, supporting the overall health of the invertebrates.
Zoo Med Creatures Eco Soil comes in a compact and convenient 1.59oz package, making it suitable for small setups or when only a small amount of substrate is required. It is easy to use and can be spread evenly within the enclosure, providing a natural and visually appealing substrate for your invertebrates.
When using Zoo Med Creatures Eco Soil, it is essential to monitor the moisture levels regularly and adjust as needed to ensure the substrate remains moist but not overly wet. It is also recommended to spot clean the substrate regularly and replace it entirely every few months or as necessary to maintain cleanliness and prevent the buildup of waste.
