Customers say
Customers find the coconut fiber brick works well for hermit crabs and helps maintain humidity levels. They appreciate its ease of use and consider it good value for money, with one customer noting it provides nearly a year’s worth of substrate. However, the product has a strong chemical smell that customers find unpleasant. The longevity of the product receives mixed feedback, with some customers saying it will last forever.

Works perfect, great price
I use this for my kids two hermit crabs, and the crabs seem to love it. The 3 bricks of this stuff will last a very long time as it expands quite a bit once water is added. All in all, its a great product and a great price.

Helps hold humidity, crabs love it.
My hermit crabs love this stuff mixed with their sand. It really helps to hold the moisture in- a major problem we were having. This is a great price. If you deep clean your tank once a month, this is nearly a years worth of substrate (for a 10 gallon tank).

Hermit soil
Way cheaper than eco earth and honestly great substitute. It holds moisture and my crab is thriving in it. One brick does require a lot of water but it creates a lot of soil. Quite messy but it’s dirt. The smell is a little chemically. Definitely recommend using distilled water to activate the soil but spray with salt water to keep it moist.

Wow! Those bricks REALLY expand!
I think this three-pack is probably going to last us forever! Iâll probably only rehydrate a 1/4 of a brick at a time from now on.It definitely fluffs up and separates nicely and quickly once you add warm water (think instant mashed potatoes but thicker) but I found that âwringingâ the excess water out was a big and messy challenge. I do not recommend attempting this project in your kitchen sink! ð¤£ð¤£Seems like a great product overall and we canât wait to see our hermit crabs do their first big dig into it. Thanks!

Humidity
Usually I go to the store and get one of those for the price above. Really good steal. Use a big container and fill it up with hot water until you see it sponge up so big! I loved this product. Itâs the only thing I use for my crabs and my crabs love it! Keeps the humidity level at the appropriate level too!

Good value
One brick was enough to fill our 10 gallon tank. It was easy to prepare, and is doing a great job of maintaining the humidity level. Bought the 3-pack because the 2-pack wasn’t going to arrive in time. (Hermit crab birthday present.) I’m glad I did. It was a much better value, and I’m sure we will use the extra in good time.
