About SunGrow Cholla Wood For Shrimp, Aquarium Decoration
Derived from the dried husk of the Cholla cactus, SunGrow Cholla Wood is the smart choice for all conscientious pet owners. These softwoods don’t have any thorns that might hurt your pets. SunGrow Cholla Wood is popular among shrimps, fry, fishes, pleco and hermit crabs. The Cholla Wood holes provide hiding spots for the smaller breeds after they molt or when they are feeling vulnerable. They also serve as a food source that shrimps feed on, similar to what certain leaves do. The wood will eventually break down and disintegrate but it will take at least a year for the thinnest pieces and even longer for the thicker ones. Cholla Wood works great as a decorative aquarium piece. 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. Cholla is also useful for decorating any potted plant. 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 fresh water is a recommended step too. Simply soak them in water for 24 – 48 hours and they will start to settle at the bottom of the tank, ready for your aquatic pets to chew and play with. Ever Wondered About Cholla Wood as a Gift? If you are creative, the possibilities are endless with cholla cactus. Found in the American Southwest and desert region of Northern Mexico, each piece serve as handmade art decor.
