Designed for reptile and small mammal keepers who want a clean, biodegradable bedding option, it suits a wide range of snakes, tortoises, and similar species that thrive on a loose, natural substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Made From\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced from the dried, chopped stem of the hemp plant, this bedding is highly absorbent, dust-free, and odourless. Being completely biodegradable, it is safe if accidentally ingested by your animals — a genuine consideration for any keeper housing species that actively root through their substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread evenly across the base of the enclosure to a depth of at least 2.5–5cm (1–2 inches). Spot-clean daily to maintain hygiene, and replace the full substrate every two to three weeks, or sooner if it becomes heavily soiled or wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeat Mat Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are running an under-tank heat mat as your primary heat source, avoid laying this substrate too thickly over the mat. Excess depth can restrict heat dissipation and may cause the mat to overheat. Always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidelines on substrate depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA reliable, no-fuss substrate for keepers who prioritise cleanliness, natural materials, and animal safety. The 7kg compressed bale offers a generous volume once expanded, making it a practical choice for larger enclosures or multiple setups.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54148611998033,"sku":"SMH075","price":25.16,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0963\/0403\/8225\/files\/SMH075_1.jpg?v=1782599740","url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/pr-hemp-bedding-compressed-bale-7kg","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
