Derived from the dried husk of the Cholla cactus, SunGrow Cholla Wood is the smart choice for all conscientious pet owners. These softwoods are without thorn to make sure that it may not 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 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. Why Cholla wood is not settling at the bottom even after soaking it for a day? Some pieces are denser than others which makes it sometimes necessary for pieces to be anchored down. The woods drowning on their own aren't as common as one would think. Only about 10% of the branches of each cholla skeleton are the type that can sink to the bottom on their own. 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. 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. But one or two pieces of the three are rotten and smelling badly, why? These are the pieces that may not be dry enough during packaging. We take full responsibility for this and would give you a complete refund even after the closing of Amazon’s return window. We have a no-questions-asked return policy. Also, some pieces are originally darker in shade. Please do not discard them thinking it to be a foul piece. Each pack of SunGrow Cholla Wood contains 3 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. Simply soak them in water for 24 – 48 hours and they will start to settle to the bottom of the tank, ready for your aquatic pets to chew and play with. Some white-colored substance has started to grow on the woods The white growth is a fungus that is common to wood decay. The customer can try scrubbing, boiling or use any type of treatment. As long as the wood is decaying and releasing the sugars contained in the wood fiber, you will see this white fungal film form. if it becomes very broad spread over the wood it can affect water parameters slightly. The white growth does go away but it is normal and doesn’t have any adverse impact on fish. Wood that is more recently spoilt will actually do this more. Bird owners know that birds need exercise and cholla wood gives helps give them that exercise. Now you can make your own hanging cholla wood stand, swing and cradle, and let your bird chirp even more happily. Note: when a cholla wood gets broken or slightly cut, these are natural and perfectly safe, and there is absolutely no harm to the pet due to this.
