All Natural Teddy Bear Cholla Wood Aquarium Decoration Chew Toy for Shrimp, Crab, Pleco, Cichlid, Nano Tank Birds (1 or 5 Pieces, 3 inch)

The Teddy Bear cholla wood is the rarest of all cholla varieties. This natural, organic, and chemical-free cholla wood has an extra hollow interior, with outside diameters ranging from 2 to 3.5 inches and inside diameters of at least 1.25 inches. Each piece is unique, and the listing is for a single piece of wood, with some lengths having multiple quantity variations available for selection.

Buyers can choose lengths from 3 to 48 inches. The cholla wood was collected from a natural area, with no chemicals used in the surrounding environment. The pieces are power-washed in 220-260°F water to remove dirt, debris, and release tannins, without the use of any chemicals - only water is used.

Remarkably, this cholla wood is completely thornless, making it safe for a wide range of applications, including use with reptiles, hermit crabs, chinchillas, rabbits, aquariums, plecos, shrimp, birds, and various crafts. The seller guarantees that they would never send anything they would not personally use in their own hermit crab setup, which houses over 70 crabs.

Due to the natural origin of the cholla wood, each piece will be unique, with variations in coloring, knots, and curves. To prepare the wood for use in an aquarium or pet habitat, it is recommended to boil or soak it in hot water to remove any native soils, reduce excess tannins, and ensure the wood sinks. This process may take anywhere from an hour to several weeks, depending on the individual piece of wood. It is important to note that this process is undertaken at the buyer's own risk, as it may potentially ruin the wood.

For proper care and husbandry information for hermit crabs, the seller recommends visiting the Land Hermit Crab Owners Society on Facebook.

All pieces of the cholla wood are uniformly cut, with extra hollow centers. This natural, organic, and animal-safe cholla wood is directly collected by the seller, without any middlemen involved. The wood is ready for immediate use in tanks or can be boiled/soaked to remove excess tannins, depending on the intended end-use. The cholla wood naturally lowers and buffers pH, while also creating a beneficial biofilm that contributes to overall tank stability.
