HabiStat Coir Block Substrate – Ideal for creating a humid area
Give your tortoise the comfort of a natural, burrow-friendly environment with the HabiStat Coir Block Substrate. Specially suited for tortoises that need a humid area —this substrate offers the perfect blend of moisture retention, softness, and natural composition.
Made entirely from compressed coconut husk, it is 100% organic, biodegradable, and sourced from sustainable resources, making it an eco-conscious choice for your tortoise habitat. The fine, fibrous texture mimics natural forest floor environments, encouraging natural digging and burrowing behaviour while remaining non-toxic and gentle on your tortoise’s shell and skin.
Key Benefits for Tortoises:
High moisture retention, helping to maintain the humidity levels essential for the health of tropical tortoise species
Soft, natural texture that supports burrowing and reduces the risk of shell abrasions
Safe and chemical-free, ensuring a healthy enclosure environment
Easy to prepare: just soak the block in water, and it will expand to around 9 litres of ready-to-use substrate
Easy to store: comes as a light, compact brick and easy to store
Suitable for mixing with other substrates like soil or orchid bark for customized habitat setups
Whether you're building a bioactive enclosure or just want a healthy base layer, the HabiStat Coir Block Substrate is a versatile and natural option for tortoise keepers who want to recreate a slice of the wild.
