Sourcing coco coir
For years I have been buying the kokosnot soil block from Ikea for my torty and for the first time they don't have any in stock. I've been waiting for a while now in the hope they might get some more in but its not looking hopeful and he's due a substrate change.
I was just wondering where you all got yours from? Thanks! |

I've just looked on the Ikea website, it shows 72 blocks in stock at Bristol, but none in Cardiff. There is a facility to email you when it's back in stock.

Thanks guys, bit the bullet and bought the expensive (in comparison) stuff. Will definitely be stocking up when/if it's back in Ikea!
