Description of SunGrow Cholla Wood: 5-Inch Long Driftwood for Aquarium Decor, Small Pet Chew Toys, Artistic Home Decor - Long Lasting
Derived from the dried husk of the Cholla cactus, SunGrow Cholla Wood is the smart choice for all conscientious pet owners. These softwoods are genuine and we are here to make sure that there are zero traces of any substance that may hurt your pets or affect them adversely. These wood logs are popular amongst shrimps, fry, tropical fish like betta, gourami, pleco, and hermit crabs. The Cholla Wood holes provide hiding spots for the smaller breeds after they shed their skin or when they are feeling vulnerable. They also provide a food source that shrimps feed on, similar to what certain leaves do. The wood will eventually break down but it will take at least a year for the thinnest pieces and even longer for the thicker ones. Cholla Wood works great as decorative aquarium pieces. But did you know they can also be used as bird toys? Pet owners have sought out Cholla wood for reptiles, birds, chinchillas, parrots, crabs, rabbits, and hamsters to chew on. Are you someone with a creative bent of mind? Because cholla is also useful for decorating. You can make use of it almost anywhere - decorate any potted plant, DIY wall hanging, photo frame etc. Just stand them in any potted plant to add a touch of genuine Southwestern character. Hobbyists have also used the rustic look of Cholla wood for carving craft. Each pack of SunGrow Cholla Wood contains 6 pieces, each 5 inches long. For transportation purposes, they are shipped to you dried. Always rinse before use, even after boiling or soaking. By the way, a "post-boil soak" in freshwater is a recommended step too. Although we obtain our products from known sources, you can never be too careful, and the extra step is worthwhile, in our opinion.
