| Wasn't sure where to post this, so here goes. I bought a block of eco earth from zoomed this week for my new pandinus cavimanus. When I was breaking the block in the bucket full of water, I felt something prick me in the hand, to my big surprise, it was a rusty nail. I was dissapointed, I was sure a product such a this would be real "clean" for our pets. Went to check their website to see if I could sent them an e-mail, but I didn't find any link. Didn't keep the nail, I could have posted a picture. |

| Um, ouch? There's a link on this page to email them for customer service. That's pretty messed up that there'd be a nail in there. _________________ If your emperor scorpion stops eating, don't panic. | My reviews | My Bug Pictures | My blogBe nice -- you were a noob once, too "Never ask an engineer to explain something, because he will." |

| i have found bits and pieces of a blue and red wrapper in a brick i had bought as well. i just removed the wrapper but rust is NO GOOD FOR ANYTHING. i wouldn't use that dirt i would get new stuff but that's me and i know what rust does to fish so i could imagine what it would do to a scorp who decided to drink up some moisture out of the substrate and drink up some rust residue. |

| Thats very unusual. but keep the nail and substrate until the matter is resolved with their customer services. |
