Was told coconut fiber is dangerous????

[Jakethesnake69]

Had to do a quick google to see just how rampant this issue is. I like to research and make educated decisions. Very little on this but some issues. Not enough to make me change. Sometimes things just happen. I use a coconut fiber substrate, Reptile Prime. Not dust free as claimed however it’s minimal. I have zero experience with it being a peanut butter consistency but I suppose if I really ground it down it’s possible. The only real problem was initially my banana would burrow and had some minor scuffing on top of his head although minimal and no longer an issue. I do spray it every day, not so much to make mud but keep humidity in check. Looks good and keeps waste odors to a minimum.
Just my experience and perhaps the eco earth has these issues. Not sure don’t and have not used it. Coco husk runs a risk of impaction although it’s probably minimal as well. As far as swallowing substrate, my guess is unless it’s just a mouth full of rodent free substrate, Mother Nature designed in a failsafe. This is going next to the “feed in another tub” file as not to terribly useful to me.
I do feel compelled to research more, just seems not much will come from it.
