Made from dried, chopped hemp plant stems, it delivers reliable absorbency without the dust, odour, or chemical concerns that come with lower-grade substrates. Available in a range of sizes to suit everything from a compact tortoise table to a larger vivarium setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Made From\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis substrate is derived entirely from the dried chopped stem of the hemp plant. The result is a soft, fibrous material that is completely biodegradable and safe if accidentally ingested — an important consideration for species that habitually root through or consume their substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Properties\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighly absorbent — draws moisture away effectively to keep the enclosure fresher for longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDust-free — suitable for species sensitive to airborne particulates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNaturally odourless — no added fragrances or chemical treatments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiodegradable and safe if eaten\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread evenly across the enclosure floor to a depth of at least 2.5–5cm. Spot-clean daily to remove waste, and replace the substrate fully every two to three weeks — or sooner if it becomes heavily soiled or wet. Keeping on top of this routine maintains a hygienic environment and reduces the risk of bacterial build-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsing With Heat Mats\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf an under-tank heat mat is your primary heat source, avoid applying a thick layer of hemp bedding directly above it. Excess depth can trap heat and cause the mat to overheat. Always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidance on substrate depth when using this combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProRep Hemp Bedding is stocked in multiple sizes, so whether you're maintaining a single enclosure or keeping several animals, there's an option to suit your routine.
