BIOBED is not only ideal for large enclosures and stables but also perfectly suited for smaller habitats, offering the same benefits on a more compact scale. Its organic composition creates a soft, natural surface that enhances animal comfort and replicates the environment of species like rodents, birds, reptiles, and small mammals, such as meerkats and primates.

In smaller enclosures, BIOBED is highly effective at controlling odors and minimizing dust, promoting a healthier environment for both animals and zookeeper. Its moisture-retaining properties ensure a clean and hygienic habitat, while the active microorganisms in the bedding work continuously to break down organic matter.

The material is easy to manage in smaller setups, requiring minimal maintenance and less frequent replacement. Whether used for small mammals that burrow, birds that forage, or reptiles that require stable humidity, BIOBED is a versatile and eco-friendly solution that supports the well-being of animals in compact spaces.

ENRICHMENT PROPERTIES
OF BIOBED

For burrowing species, such as meerkats or armadillos, BIOBED provides a dynamic, pliable surface that allows them to exhibit instinctive digging behaviors. Foraging animals, including birds and primates, can explore its layered structure, uncovering hidden scents and textures that promote mental stimulation. The material’s ability to hold moisture enhances scent dispersion, which is particularly engaging for species that rely on their sense of smell for exploration and interaction.

Additionally, BIOBED supports physical activity by encouraging animals to move, dig, and manipulate their environment. This not only contributes to their overall health but also reduces stress levels by providing a more natural and interactive habitat. The constantly evolving nature of BIOBED, as animals interact with it, ensures that the environment remains stimulating over time, making it a valuable tool for zoos and wildlife parks seeking to enhance animal well-being.

BIOBED IN MEERCAT ENCLOSURE

Kristiansand Zoo has introduced BIOBED in their meerkat enclosure, enhancing the environment for these active and curious animals. The natural composition of BIOBED mimics the texture of their native habitat, allowing the meerkats to dig, forage, and explore as they would in the wild. This not only provides essential mental and physical stimulation but also helps maintain their natural behaviors.

In addition to the enrichment it offers, BIOBED keeps the enclosure clean and hygienic, reducing dust and odors for both the animals and the zookeepers. The zoo has found that the material is easy to maintain and adds a natural aesthetic to the exhibit, further improving the overall environment for the meerkats.

BIOBED FOR REPTILES

Jyllands Park Zoo uses BIOBED in many of their reptile enclosures, including for their iguanas. The natural composition of BIOBED not only enhances the visual appeal of the habitats by creating a more realistic and organic environment but also helps maintain the appropriate humidity levels crucial for reptile health.

By providing a substrate that mimics their natural habitat, BIOBED supports the iguanas’ well-being while also being easy to maintain. The zoo has found it to be an excellent choice for keeping enclosures clean and comfortable, ensuring both functionality and enrichment for their reptiles.

BIOBED IN ACTION

Here are some insights and recommendations on how you can use BIOBED in your small enclosures

1. START UP

Spread the BIOBED bedding in an even layer i the animal enclosure or stable. The thickness largely depends on the size of the animal using it. The organic texture of the bedding provides a firm but yeilding bottom layer.

2. REMOVE FECES

Remove wet spots and feces regularly and refill with fresh BIOBED as needed. How much You will need to refill depends on the animal and off course the size of the enclosure.

3. HEALTHY BOTTUM LAYER

The bedding will shortly be stamped into a firm 'mattres' while the top layer will dry up quickly and remain loose in texture.

4. LONG LASTING

The bedding will form a long lasting bioactive bottum, as long as it remains somewhat moist. The microorganisms will continuesly break down the organic material from the animals.
