{"product_id":"prorep-straw-bedding","title":"ProRep Straw Bedding","description":"\u003cp\u003eProRep Straw Bedding is a compressed straw pellet substrate suited to tortoises, large snakes, and lizards from arid environments. It breaks down into a soft, yielding surface underfoot while remaining dry enough for species that need low-humidity conditions in their vivarium or terrarium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat It's Made From\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe substrate is formed from compressed straw pellets, which soften on contact to create a natural-feeling bedding without the loose, dusty quality of some alternatives. Importantly, the construction means it should not cause impaction if accidentally ingested — a genuine consideration for tortoises and other species that regularly forage through their substrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpread the substrate evenly across the floor of the enclosure to a minimum depth of 2.5–5cm (1–2 inches). Spot-clean daily to keep the enclosure hygienic, and replace the substrate fully every two to three weeks — or sooner if it becomes heavily soiled or damp. This bedding is intended for dry use only and should not be used wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeat Mat Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf an under-tank heat mat is your primary heat source, avoid laying a deep layer of straw bedding directly over it. Excessive insulation above a heat mat can cause it to overheat. Always follow the heat mat manufacturer's guidance on safe substrate depths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAvailable Sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProRep Straw Bedding is available in more than one bag size, so you can choose the right quantity for your setup — whether you're maintaining a single tortoise table or stocking up for larger or multiple enclosures. Select your preferred size from the options above.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA straightforward, low-fuss substrate for arid-species keepers who want something that does the job without unnecessary complications. Suitable for a wide range of setups and easy to manage on a routine cleaning schedule.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Peregrine","offers":[{"title":"10 Litres","offer_id":54176653902161,"sku":"SPS010","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"25 Litres","offer_id":54176653934929,"sku":"SPS025","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/viperia.co.uk\/products\/prorep-straw-bedding","provider":"Viperia UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
