What is Vermitculite?
What is it and is it safe for hermit crabs?
I've never heard of it, but I found this on a reptile forum:
we should probably wait for someone more knowledgeable to join in, though
and this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermiculite from wikiDo NOT use vermiculite in any way that an animal can come in contact with it. It is very sticky when wet and if swallowed can possibly result in impaction. If it dries out it becomes dusty and is damaging to the lungs if inhaled.
It is fine for incubating eggs but that is about it.
