Bulk Bag Coconut Coir (Loose Form - HIGH SHIPPING COST)

Coco coir is an excellent substrate choice for baby tortoises because it is soft, absorbent, and safe, providing a comfortable surface that reduces the risk of injury to delicate shells and feet. It holds moisture well, which helps maintain the humidity levels that many young tortoise species need for healthy hydration and skin development, without becoming waterlogged or moldy when properly managed. Coco coir is also odor-free, easy to clean, and naturally resistant to pests, creating a hygienic environment for hatchlings. Its loose, crumbly texture encourages natural digging and burrowing behavior, which is important for both physical activity and mental enrichment. Overall, coco coir provides a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment that supports the growth, comfort, and well-being of baby tortoises.

Bulk bags of coco coir, a great substrate that we use to raise the majority of our baby tortoises in all species from hatching up to 12 months indoors. This is organic, clean, and one of the best substrates to hold moisture in that babies require.

These are 50L bags that weigh about 24 pounds. With our typical baby group enclosures, we can replace the substrate in 5 to 6 enclosures with a single bag.
