Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I searched 'coir peat' on the forum and this seemed like the most appropriate to post my question...
I bought the small 9L coir peat bricks (pictured above), put two bricks in a bucket with some warm water and let them expand.
Now I'm wondering should I put it in the oven or whether it'll be fine to use how it is. I washed it several times (as suggested above) and have dried it completely in the sun over the past few days but I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing
You don't need to oven it, I've used this stuff for years now, on a variety of reptiles, from Boyd's to Blueys to Pythons and Monitors, it's never caused a problem. As long as it's washed after expansion, it will be perfectly safe.
