Zoo Med Hermit Soil™

Overview

Zoo Med Hermit Soil™ is a compressed coconut fiber substrate designed to create the perfect environment for hermit crabs. When moistened, it expands to produce a soft, burrow-friendly substrate that naturally absorbs odor and helps maintain humidity—essential for healthy molting and overall crab well-being.
