{"product_id":"pr-hemp-bedding-25-litre","title":"ProRep Hemp Bedding 25 Litre – Reptile \u0026 Tortoise Substrate","description":"\u003cp\u003ePR Hemp Bedding is a natural, fibrous substrate made from dried, chopped hemp plant stems. Suitable for a wide range of snakes, tortoises, and small mammals, it delivers a clean, low-maintenance base layer for vivariums and terrariums where a dry to semi-dry environment is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Made From\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced from the dried, chopped stems of the hemp plant, this bedding is highly absorbent, dust-free, and odourless once laid. Being completely biodegradable, it is also safe if accidentally ingested — a practical consideration for snakes and tortoises that explore substrate with their mouths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread evenly across the enclosure floor to a minimum depth of 2.5–5cm (1–2 inches). Spot-clean daily to remove waste and soiled material, and replace the entire substrate every two to three weeks, or sooner if it becomes heavily wet or contaminated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eUsing With Heat Mats\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your setup uses an under-tank heat mat as the primary heat source, avoid laying this substrate too deep directly over the mat. Excessive depth can restrict heat dissipation and cause the mat to overheat — always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidance on safe substrate depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 25 litres, this bag provides a generous volume for medium to large enclosures, keeping you stocked for multiple substrate changes without the need for frequent reordering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148609343825,"sku":"SMH025","price":11.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SMH025_1.jpg?v=1782599705","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/pr-hemp-bedding-25-litre","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
