Natural Mediterranean Habitat Substrate

ProRep Tortoise Life BIO is designed to create a natural-looking enclosure floor that resembles the soil conditions found in Mediterranean and arid environments.

The blend of loam, soft fine sand and coconut husk provides a practical substrate for tortoises that naturally spend time digging, exploring and burrowing.

It is suitable for appropriately designed enclosures where the substrate meets the specific husbandry requirements of the animal.

Premium Blend of Natural Materials

The substrate combines three carefully selected components:

• Loam: Provides a natural soil-like texture and structure
• Fine Sand: Helps create a realistic substrate consistency
• Coconut Husk: Makes the mixture lighter and helps retain moisture

These ingredients work together to create a versatile substrate suitable for compatible tortoise and reptile habitats.

Encourages Natural Digging & Burrowing

Digging and burrowing are important natural behaviours for many tortoise species.

ProRep Tortoise Life BIO provides a substrate that can be installed at suitable depths to encourage these behaviours.

Russian tortoises in particular may benefit from deeper substrate areas, allowing them to burrow naturally within their enclosure.

Supports Suitable Humidity Levels

The combination of natural materials helps retain moisture when required, allowing reptile keepers to manage local humidity within the enclosure.

Light misting can be used where appropriate to maintain suitable conditions without excessively wetting the substrate.

Always monitor enclosure humidity and temperature according to the requirements of the species being kept.

Suitable For:

• Mediterranean tortoises
• Russian tortoises
• Compatible arid habitat tortoise species
• Selected lizards from similar environments
• Naturalistic reptile vivariums
• Tortoise tables
• Suitable indoor tortoise enclosures
• Digging and burrowing environments

Directions for Use:

1. Ensure the tortoise enclosure is clean and prepared before adding substrate.
2. Spread ProRep Tortoise Life BIO evenly across the enclosure floor.
3. For young tortoises, use a substrate depth of approximately 5cm (2 inches), where appropriate.
4. For adult tortoises, use approximately 15cm (6 inches) or more, depending on species requirements.
5. Russian tortoises may require deeper substrate to accommodate natural burrowing behaviour.
6. Spot clean daily to remove waste and contaminated material.
7. Replace the substrate approximately every 2–3 weeks, or as required to maintain hygiene.
8. Lightly mist where appropriate to maintain suitable local humidity without over-saturating the substrate.

Recommended Substrate Depth:

Substrate depth should always be adjusted according to the species, age, enclosure design and individual animal requirements.

Easy Cleaning & Maintenance

Regular substrate maintenance helps keep your tortoise enclosure clean and hygienic.

Remove visible waste and contaminated material daily, replacing substrate as required.

Inspect the bedding regularly for excessive moisture, mould or contamination.

Follow appropriate husbandry guidance to maintain suitable enclosure conditions.
