Usually with Coco Fiber the cause is debris within the soil or a hard fiber in the substrate. There will also be large balls up tangles of the fibers occasionally in substrate that you want to remove. Anything and everything you find when breaking apart an expanded brick or moistening the bagged pre-expanded coco fiber. This will prevent future impaction or constipation risks.
    should I replace all the eco earth right now and put a new batch of eco earth that was already expanded or should I get some that wasn't pre expanded?

    Either is fine. I use the compressed bricks and expand them because its easier to just squeeze the moisture out to the level if moisture you want than to add it to the pre-expanded stuff. Its more of a personal preference. I will say that the compressed bricks can be cheaper because sometimes you can find a pack of 3 bricks for $7.99 and the pre-expanded bags are usually $9.99 and have way less substrate in comparison.
