Can my reptile become impacted using RubbStrate?

• There is a slight risk of imapction using ANY LOOSE PARTICLE SUBSTRATE. The risk is no greater than using wood based substrates, obviously you need to choose the right substrate to match your animal. However because RubbStrate is made of soft rubber flakes they shouldnt become lodged or cause damage like a large cypress mulch wood splinter would do.

How do i use RubbStrate ?

• Always wash RubbStrate before use to remove any rubber dust created during the manufacturing process.  
• Cover the floor of the vivarium with RubbStrate and spot clean as neccessary.
• Always use a feeding dish when feeding your animal or feed outside of the vivarium to minimise any risk of accidental ingestion. 
• To clean remove substrate from the vivarium and wash in a bucket of warm, soapy water. Rinse and allow to dry before replacing in the vivarium.  

Does it smell ?

• RubbStrate will smell of rubber at first, the smell is something like new trainers! The smell will however dissapear over time, this process can be speeded up by washing the RubbStrate and leaving outside to air,
