Why Choose ProRep Beech Chips Coarse?
When it comes to selecting a substrate, it’s important to find one that is both functional and safe. Here’s why ProRep Beech Chips Coarse is a great option:

- Eco-Friendly & Sustainable – Made from responsibly sourced beech wood, supporting ethical pet care
- Versatile Use – Suitable for reptiles, birds, and small mammals, making it a multi-purpose substrate
How to Use
For best results, follow these simple steps:
- Start by spreading the substrate evenly across the bottom of the enclosure, aiming for a depth of 1-2 inches (2.5-5cm) to provide a comfortable bedding layer.
- Then, spot-clean regularly to remove waste and maintain freshness, ensuring a clean and healthy environment for your pet.
- Next, replace the substrate completely every 2-3 weeks, or sooner if heavily soiled, to keep the enclosure hygienic and free from odours.
- Finally, avoid thick layering if using an under-tank heat mat, as excessive bedding may cause overheating.
