Efficace mais attention à bien l émietter. Ça met plus de temps que prévu à absorber l eau

It's very good coco soil. Not too stringy like I was afraid it might be. My rats had no issues with it. I was pleasantly surprised at the quantity it gave once it fully absorbed the water. I couldn't even make it fit in my biggest tupperware I had. I'd say it gives about the same of a 8.8l sac of dirt. Which is plenty. I did notice the price went from 8$cad to 12.58$cad but for the quantity it gives and the quality I'm not complaining.

I use this for my Giant African Land Snails and to repot my various types of houseplant. Absolutely brilliant, if you put peas in the soil they will grow in the tank for your snails too. Of course, don't put other types of plant in their tank. Stays clean, very absorbent and the snails love it. The brick makes a fair but once it's made you can dry it or leave it in a pot and use as needed.As for my plants, they all grow well. I have a ginseng tree, a monstera, and two citrus trees in this soil and they're all healthy. If you use it for houseplants it will require nutrients added. Do not add plant nutrients to a snail/pet tank.

I’ve bought this exact product before somewhere else. However, this is not at all like my previous purchase and I wonder if it was a bad batch or sitting for too long in a warehouse! What I previously bought was a compressed coco coir that puffed up and loosened to a nice loose soil when I added the required amount of water. What this purchase did was just get wet. Even after letting it soak for a day, it had barely absorbed much water and I had to use some muscle and tools to break it apart and let it soak some more. Turned into mostly a fibrous mass of root-type material. No coco soil for the frogs. I bought 2 blocks and both were the same. Very disappointed while I was in the middle of redoing frog tanks!

This was for my leopard geckos. It is not fine, there is a great deal of long tough fibers.

My Brazilian Rainbow Boa loves this. When she was little, she especially loved tunneling down into it. I recommend a good 3or 4 inches of depth at least or more if tunneling. It really holds moisture and helps to keep the humidity high enough for her. It’s easily transferable, so be mindful when taking things out of the tank, as it will get on you and the floor. But it’s great value as you can scoop out waste and it stay pretty clean. If it gets too dry you can always revive it with water. I mix some with Forest Floor for my Python and although he doesn’t need high humidity, he does need some & this works very well. I’ve tried other brands and gotten springtails each time. (Makes me itchy just remembering) so I’m not doing that again. This is clean and inexpensive and lasts and lasts. Very happy.

I bought this for a snail terrarium and watched lots of videos on online of people using this product and I think overall my experience was a lot different. All the videos I watched people just put it in water and it started to expand...and that’s exactly what the instructions say to do, just put the block in water and in 30 minutes it will expand. But my block did not expand within 30 minutes so I started to poke at it and then an hour passed and nothing. So I literally had to shred the block with scissors and continuously pour water directly onto it and here I am 2 hours in with just about 1/3 of the block turned into usable soil. The soil is just fine but the instructions made it seem so simple... so just something to note, plan for more than 30 minutes

I'm really happy with this. This is the first time using any type of soil for my leopard gecko and I sure am happy. The brick was more than enough for my gecko's tank which is a foot in width and 4 feet in length. If I have used the other half of the brick, it would have filled the tank at least to an inch or two of dirt. So far I have not seen any mold and I constantly keep the dirt wet. My gecko wasn't too happy about the smell at first but he got used to it very quickly and this is the first time I have actually seen him get a good night sleep. He used to have paper towels instead and would always be up. I'm glad I bought this. Plus it makes my tank look great!
