Available in two size grades to suit different turtle species and shell sizes, they replicate the look and texture of a natural riverbed without posing the abrasion or injury risk that sharp or angular substrates can.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNatural Origin, Practical Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese pebbles have been smoothed over time by fast-moving river currents, which gives them their characteristic rounded edges and varied surface patterning. That natural process is precisely what makes them suitable for turtles — there are no sharp edges to catch on shells or skin, and the mix of colours and tones creates a genuinely natural-looking aquatic environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSafe for Bottom-Dwellers and Foragers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurtles that spend time resting on or moving across the substrate benefit directly from the smooth finish. Whether your turtle is a dedicated bottom-dweller or actively forages along the floor of the enclosure, the rounded profile of these pebbles reduces the risk of shell or skin damage during normal behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize Options\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurtle Pebbles are available in two pebble size grades, so you can match the substrate to your turtle's shell diameter and the scale of your setup. Choosing the appropriate size is straightforward — smaller grades suit smaller turtles and finer-detailed aquascapes, while larger grades work well for bigger species and more spacious enclosures. Select your preferred size from the options on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCleaning and Reuse\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnlike many substrates, Turtle Pebbles can be cleaned and returned to the enclosure rather than disposed of. Soak them in a large bucket of water with a suitable disinfectant for 15 minutes, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs completely clear and all visible debris has been removed before reintroducing them to the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straightforward, reusable substrate that prioritises your turtle's safety and keeps the enclosure looking the part — select the size grade that fits your setup from the variants above.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Small 8-10mm","offer_id":54176648429905,"sku":"SHP050","price":11.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large 10-20mm","offer_id":54176648462673,"sku":"SHP055","price":11.33,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SHP050_1_43666acf-7a55-430b-9a1b-945fb4b2e4e7.jpg?v=1783133308"}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/collections\/jungle-substrates-copy.oembed","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
