{"product_id":"prorep-beech-chips-coarse","title":"ProRep Beech Chips Coarse","description":"\u003cp\u003eProRep Beech Chips Coarse is a natural loose substrate suited to a wide range of larger reptiles, including snakes and lizards, as well as birds and mammals. Kiln-dried and produced from sustainably harvested wood, it delivers a clean, dust-free base layer that works well across a variety of vivarium and terrarium setups. Available in multiple bag sizes to suit everything from a single enclosure to a larger collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Made From\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese beech chips are kiln-dried to reduce moisture content and minimise the risk of mould or bacterial build-up in the enclosure. The wood is sourced from sustainable forests, making it a responsible choice for keepers who want a natural substrate without the environmental compromise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread the substrate evenly across the floor of the enclosure 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.\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 applying an excessively thick layer of substrate directly over it. A deep layer of beech chips can trap heat and cause the mat to overheat. Always check the heat mat manufacturer's guidance for recommended substrate depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eChoosing the Right Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProRep Beech Chips Coarse is available in a range of bag sizes, from smaller options suited to a single vivarium to larger quantities for keepers running multiple enclosures or who prefer to stock up.
