Stones in my Eco Earth.

I wouldn't be either. If you're mad enough call em. I had to grind mine up as well, but not a ton. I am disappointed in exo-terra.

For now change the brand to plantation soil. I would call them and tell them so they can fix the issue. We cant afford an incident. I'm sure they would send you a coupon for a free brick. The bricks are machine made. Thanks for looking out.

Or try another brick if you have one.

No one around me but my vet carries Plantation soil. I've been wanting to try it. Ill see if I can get some and ill call about the Eco Earth having stones tomorrow. Hopefully the resolve the issue. I don't want to lose any of my frogs or any of you losing yours.

Keep us posted!

This are what I found in the EcoEarth:


I find this very disturbing. I previously used All Living Things; Jungle Blend. The label said 100% coconut fiber but I found it had quite a bit of sand in it. I was worried about the sand irritating my frogs' skin. I don't know if the sand got in their from the grinding process or if they put the sand in to make the package heavier (since it is sold by the ounce). I have also used Fluker's brand and found pebbles in that, although they were smoother, reddish/ brown stones whereas the ones in the EcoEarth appear to quartz. But the still pose danger to my frogs and that is NOT ok! I realize that pacmans can pass smaller stones, but I would rather not risk it. I also take ethical issue with this false marketing that appears to be going on. If the package says 100% coco fiber, then there should not be anything else in the contents. Unless their math is really bad (100% coconut/ 10% rocks?) or rocks come from coconuts (??) then there is something else going on here. I doubt anyone will answer if I call this late on a Sunday night, so I will have to call them tomorrow. I will let everyone know how it goes.

Those are pretty big. Not good at all.

I don't think I've seen a more perfect substance for impaction...

Lucky I have toads and can use sand, I'd loose it if I found ROCKS in 100% PURE COCO-FIBRE...

Keep us updated Grif!
