{"product_id":"pr-beech-chips-fine-10-litre","title":"ProRep Beech Chips Fine 10 Litre | Reptile Vivarium Substrate","description":"\u003cp\u003ePR Beech Chips Fine is a kiln-dried wood substrate suited to a wide range of larger snakes, lizards, birds, and small mammals. Produced from sustainably harvested beech wood, it's a reliable, dust-free option for keepers who want a clean, natural-looking enclosure floor without compromising animal health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Made From\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chips are kiln-dried to reduce moisture and minimise dust, making them more hygienic in the vivarium and easier on the respiratory systems of sensitive species. The wood is sourced from sustainably managed forests, so there's no compromise on environmental credentials.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread the substrate evenly across the enclosure floor to a depth of at least 2.5–5cm (1–2 inches). Spot-clean daily to remove waste and soiled material, and carry out a full replacement every two to three weeks — or sooner if the substrate becomes heavily wet or contaminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsing With Heat Mats\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your enclosure uses an under-tank heat mat, avoid laying a deep layer of beech chips directly over it. Excessive substrate depth can restrict heat dissipation and cause the mat to overheat. Always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidance on substrate depth when using any under-tank heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 10 litres, this fine grade is well suited to smaller vivarium setups or as a top-up supply — giving keepers a consistent, dust-free substrate that's straightforward to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"10L","offer_id":54148594041169,"sku":"SMB310","price":6.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"25L","offer_id":54148594073937,"sku":"SMB325","price":13.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SMB310_1.jpg?v=1782599627","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/pr-beech-chips-fine-10-litre","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
