A moisture ratio of 2:1 Vermiculite to water by weight is suitable for many species but some species have different requirements so make sure you check the correct ratio for your pets. Carefully place the eggs in the Vermiculite with the top third of the egg exposed. When moving the eggs from the egg laying site to the Vermiculite take care to keep them the same way up. If possible, ensure that the eggs do not touch each other during incubation. Please note that as incubation of reptile eggs is a complex process that varies from species to species, it is essential that you research the details for each species before eggs are laid and have a suitable incubator ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ProRep","offers":[{"title":"Course","offer_id":43761442357473,"sku":"SMV005","price":5.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine","offer_id":43761442390241,"sku":"SMV105","price":5.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3595\/6449\/products\/prorep-vermiculite-768285.jpg?v=1669151081"},{"product_id":"prorep-tortoise-life-edible-10-litre","title":"ProRep Tortoise Life EDIBLE, 10 litre","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTortoise Life Edible is a great substrate for Tortoises that has been designed to supplement your pet's diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\" style=\"margin-top: 0cm;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e100% blend of natural ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEncourages natural foraging behaviours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFree from insecticides and herbicides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;\" class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCan also be used with other herbivorous or omnivorous reptiles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow To Use Tortoise Life Edible\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThis substrate has been designed to be eaten by your pets and combines dried flowers, leaves and grasses with botanical herbs to add variety and encourage natural foraging behaviours.
