All cholla has been carefully power washed in hot water (up to 200°F) to remove dirt and debris, ensuring safe use in habitats, aquariums, and as a natural hermit crab treat. Pieces may have natural imperfections: rough edges, odd angles, or broken shards. “Shards” simply means these are authentic, rustic pieces full of character.
Cholla is wonderfully versatile and can be used for:
Hermit crabs, reptiles, chinchillas, rabbits, and other small pets
Aquariums, freshwater fish, and shrimp habitats
Birds, air plants, and biofilm creation
Craft projects, DIY decorations, and natural enrichment

Unique natural variations: Every piece has its own personality—coloring, knots, and curves that reflect its origin in the great outdoors.
Preparation Tips: Before use in an aquarium or pet habitat, boil or soak the wood in hot water. This helps remove any remaining soils, reduce tannins, and ensures the wood will sink. Timing varies—sometimes hours, sometimes days, depending on size.
When you buy from us, know that we only send pieces we would proudly use in our own setups. Hermit crabs may enjoy nibbling this natural wood, adding both enrichment and a healthy, chewable treat to their environment.
