WHAT EXACTLY ARE CORK TUBES, AND HOW DO YOU USE THEM?
Cork tubes are natural structures made from tree bark, shaped like hollow cylinders.
They can be used for:
- Decorating terrariums, aquariums, or vivariums.
- Providing shelters and play spaces for small pets.
- Enhancing indoor plants or garden displays.
SHOULD YOU CLEAN AND DISINFECT CORK BEFORE USE?
Cleaning isn’t always required, but it’s a good idea for added safety.
How to clean cork tubes:
- Rinse under warm water.
- Use a soft brush to remove dirt or debris.
How to disinfect them:
- Pour boiling water over the cork.
- Allow them to dry fully before use.
ARE CORK TUBES SUITABLE FOR ALL TYPES OF REPTILES AND AMPHIBIANS?
Cork tubes are highly versatile and are ideal for various reptiles, amphibians, and even some invertebrates:
- Reptiles: Great for both ground-dwelling and arboreal species like lizards and snakes.
- Amphibians: Frogs, salamanders, and other species thrive with cork shelters.
- Invertebrates: Suitable for spiders, tarantulas, and other terrarium creatures.
When cork may not be the best option:
- For species requiring specific environmental conditions beyond what cork can offer.
- For pets that prefer smooth climbing surfaces.
- For large reptiles that may not fit comfortably inside cork tubes.
HOW CAN YOU CUT A CORK TUBE?
A sharp knife or handsaw will do the trick. Simply mark the cutting line and saw carefully through the tube.
IS CORK SUITABLE FOR USE IN FRESHWATER AQUARIUMS?
Yes, cork works wonderfully as a hiding spot for fish like plecos, loaches, and eels. It helps reduce stress by providing them with secure shelter.
CAN MULTIPLE CORK TUBES BE COMBINED INTO ONE STRUCTURE?
Absolutely! You can stack or link multiple tubes together to create tunnels, dens, or layered hideouts, offering variety and stimulation for your pets.
IS CORK SUITABLE FOR DESERT TERRARIUMS?
Yes, cork adapts well to dry environments. However, keep in mind that it may become more fragile if exposed to very low humidity over time.
WHEN SHOULD CORK BE REPLACED?
Replace cork only when needed, such as when it shows signs of heavy wear or persistent dirt that cannot be cleaned off.
Plastic decorations in terrariums not only look cheap but can also break easily, posing safety hazards for reptiles. Cork tubes provide a natural, realistic environment, making your terrarium feel more like the wild.
#1 SAFE AND NON-TOXIC FOR ANIMALS
Natural cork is 100% safe for all pets. Your animals can explore their habitat without the risk of cuts or injuries. Unlike synthetic materials, cork is completely free of toxins and harmful chemicals.
While your reptiles are climbing, hiding, or resting, you can have peace of mind, knowing they’re safe—even when you’re away from home.
#2 BRINGING THE FOREST INTO YOUR HOME
Plastic will never match the look and feel of natural cork. Cork tubes bring authenticity to your terrarium, making it resemble a real ecosystem rather than a display case.
No two pieces of cork are exactly alike, creating a visually appealing and unique habitat that invites exploration and observation.
#3 SUSTAINABLE AND ECO-FRIENDLY
Choosing cork means supporting eco-friendly practices. Cork is harvested without cutting down trees, and the process even promotes tree health and longevity.
By adding cork to your terrarium, you are helping the planet while providing your pets with a natural and safe space to thrive.
