Bioviv Soft-Chip Bedding – Premium Substrate for Exotic Fauna
Our Soft-Chip Bedding is specially formulated for the care of invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians and other sensitive species. Engineered for comfort, cleanliness and natural behaviour, it provides an ideal base layer for bio-active setups, vivaria and breeding systems alike.

Key Features:

  • Soft, naturally textured wood-chip substrate that is gentle on delicate under-bellies, limbs and body surfaces.

  • Ideal for species that burrow or sift through substrate—it offers the right level of looseness and stability for activity without compromising safety.

  • Highly versatile: suits desert and temperate-dwelling reptiles, invertebrate colonies, tortoises, and more.

  • Easy to maintain: efficient drainage and absorbency help manage moisture and waste, avoiding soggy patches and prolonging substrate life.

  • A natural aesthetic: pleasant wood-chip appearance (pine tone) that enhances the look of the vivarium while remaining practical.

  • Environmentally responsible: made to be fully compostable and derived from sustainable wood sources. 

Ideal Use & Setup Suggestions:

  • Cover the floor of the enclosure to an appropriate depth (depending on species: deeper for burrowers, shallower for surface dwellers).

  • For deeper-digging species, consider mixing with play-sand or similar to create a stable burrow substrate layer.

  • Replace or refresh the top layer regularly to maintain hygiene—monitor moisture level, droppings, and behaviour for signs of sub-optimal substrate.

  • Use in setups requiring both hygiene and natural behaviour: vivaria with invertebrates, desert-type reptiles, tortoise enclosures and more.

Why Choose Bioviv Soft-Chip Bedding?

  • Developed by Exotics & Tropics with your animals in mind, it balances welfare and visual appeal.

  • Reduces stress and improves comfort for species that spend time on or within substrate.

  • a cost-effective alternative to premium hemp or aspen substrates—with equal or better performance in many cases.
