Insektenliebe coconut brick

Perfect soil moisture with the Insektenliebe coconut tile

The Insektenliebe coconut brick is an excellent alternative to conventional terrarium substrates. It is made from sustainably sourced coconut fibers, which come from the shell of the coconut. When water is added, the pressed coconut brick swells within a few minutes to form a loose, natural substrate that is ideal for numerous terrarium animals and plants.

Thanks to its excellent moisture-retaining properties, Insektenliebe coco brick ensures a balanced climate in the terrarium. This substrate is particularly popular for keeping tarantulas, amphibians and other moisture-loving terrarium inhabitants. It helps to stabilize the humidity in the terrarium and creates a natural environment for your animals.

Another advantage of this substrate is its sustainable production. The environmentally friendly production not only makes the Insektenliebe coco brick an ecologically conscious choice, but also guarantees consistently high quality for the needs of your terrarium animals.

Whether you keep small reptiles, amphibians or invertebrates – this coconut fiber substrate offers them a pleasant and natural environment. Its versatility makes it a valuable basis for your terrarium set-up.

Important note for keeping first decomposers

Although the Insektenliebe coco brick has many positive properties, it should not be used for keeping primary decomposers such as millipedes, Isopods or cockroaches. These animals do not absorb the substrate and instead require forest humus, white rotten wood and fodder leaves as a basis for species-appropriate keeping. We therefore recommend continuing to use natural forest soil mixtures to provide these animals with the best possible care.
