- NATURAL COCONUT REPTILE HIDEOUT - Seeking a secluded area to rest or hide is natural animal behavior, especially for reptiles! They need a place where they can hide away from our prying eyes.
- And what’s more natural than an upturned coconut shell for a hideout? With a diameter of around 5 inches, a height of 3 inches, a doorway bottom width of around 2 inches, and a doorway entrance height of 1.25 inches (size tolerance is plus or minus 1 inch), these coconut shells will fit small to medium-sized reptiles, amphibians, lizards, fishes, and more!
- PERFECT FOR BOTH AQUARIUMS AND TERRARIUMS - Coconut shells are highly durable and take at least 5 years to decompose whether it be in a wet or dry environment. This makes the coconut shell hideouts perfect as ground covers for terrestrial pets, a cozy hideout on top of a rock or driftwood for arboreal species, as half-buried caves for aquatic pets, or as a humidity hide box for your pet reptiles!
- COCONUT SHELL HIDEOUT WITH ONE ENTRANCE - The arch-shaped entrance is the perfect size for your pets to comfortably and safely enter their hideout. The entrance’s design and size also allow the hideout’s interior to be mildly dim, providing a feeling of safety and comfort. You can still see your pet and your pet can still clearly see the outside - it’s a win-win!
- MADE FROM 100% NATURAL COCONUT - No lacquers, sealers, or chemical treatments/preservatives, these coconut shells are all-natural and non-toxic, making them safe to heat and fully submerge in water. Also, all edges are dulled to further ensure your pet’s safety.
Add A Tropical Touch to Your Pet’s Habitat
Create a realistic habitat hardscape for your tropical reptiles, amphibians, fishes, spiders, and other types of exotic pets. These coconut shell hideouts will blend in with sand, driftwood, and rock hardscape, and they are naturally shaped like a cave!
Your tropical pets will definitely favor this coconut shell cave hideout over artificial hideouts that carry with them unfamiliar smells. Encourage your pets' natural behaviors by providing them with a natural coconut hideout that they can be safe and cozy in!
The Importance of Hideout Caves for Your Pets
Even large animals have this instinct to hide from potential predators and other animals of their own species. Failure to fulfill this instinct will cause stress and exhaustion that will compromise their health in the long run. Also, no matter how realistic a habitat or setup is, it is still in an artificial enclosure. The lack of activity or stimulation can cause them to develop stress symptoms that can directly affect their appetite, behavior, growth, and overall health.
When stressed, reptiles can become either hyperactive or hypoactive. They can also hiss, pant, inflate their body, develop anorexia, and show several other physiological abnormalities as chronic stress will suppress their immune system. Fish will lose appetite and swim oddly when stressed. Tarantulas find noise and bright lights to be stressful.
This does not mean, though, that a hideout alone can lower your pet’s stress level. But they can help greatly! Hideouts not only relax small critters, but they also help improve your pet’s mood and if you select a comfortable hideout like this 3-pack coconut hideout, your pet will surely make a sleeping area out of it!
