Please pay attention to the products you may use. Cocotek contains rubber, it is not pure coco fiber. You want a high grade coco peat the contains low sodium levels.

I tend to be very economical when choosing products, and often look for alternatives to pet products as many pet substrates are simply repackaged for the trade and given a higher price. On the other hand, products repackaged for pets are generally safer, for instance the coco fiber wont contain salts, the reptile barks and frog mosses wont contain dyes etc.
