substrate

[Karen(pebbles)]

My little hermanns is 20 mths old and measures 12x9cms,
i currently use coco fiber hand packed down with fine orchid bark on top,
at what age can i stop using the coco fiber and switch to just orchid bark alone?

Any age. You can start them on fine grade orchid bark, but I think the coir is a little better for babies. You can do orchid bark alone on your next substrate change.

Thankyou so much Tom, i still have some coco fiber to use on the next change but will definately just use the orchid bark thereafter.
