ReptiBlock Hatchling bedding is a unique coconut recipe. With a mix of fine coconut chips and coconut hair, Hatchling bedding has a similar structure to Lignocel, Aspen or other snake bedding, but with the benefits of coconut!

All coconut bedding is made from the pod of the coconut. When the pod is still a green fruit, the fruit is manually removed around the nut. The remaining husk is a leftover after harvesting the coconut fruit.

The leftover (pod) husks are the basis of our ReptiBlock Hatchling bedding! After the pod is separated from the nut, it is manually cut one by one, with the position of the blades (between 2 - 7 mm) determining the size of the coconut chips. The cut green pod now forms the base of our ReptiBlock Hatchling bedding where the solar radiation help to dry the chips.

In a time lapse of 4 to 6 weeks, the pod colors from green to orange/beige. In this face, the coconut chips are still young and soft in texture and form the excellent base for our ReptiBlock Hatchling bedding. Because the coconut bedding is packaged at a younger stage than comparable brands, the bedding can still release 100% natural dyes Tanines into the drinking water, should it end up in the water dish (obviously not harmful when drinking).

Once the coconut chips are sufficiently dried, the chips are washed three times with clean/clear fresh water. Washing minimizes the dust present and lowers the salt content in the ReptiBlock Hatchling bedding . After it is washed, the product is dried again to then sieved twice with a drum sieve and a shaker sieve.

The sieved coconut chips is now ready to be manually measured and pressed together to make our ReptiBlock Hatchling bedding.
