Yes, Exo Terra Coco Husk is an excellent choice for bioactive setups as it holds humidity well and supports beneficial microorganisms. Ensure it is supplemented with leaf litter and other organic materials for the cleanup crew.

While it is absorbent and helps manage waste, it does not inherently control odor. Regular cleaning and proper ventilation are key to odor management.

The 7 L (approximately 8.8 US dry quarts) bag, when expanded, provides a significant volume of substrate suitable for most terrarium sizes.

Ensure proper ventilation in the terrarium. Reduce misting frequency and allow the substrate to dry out slightly between waterings. Remove heavily affected areas and replace with fresh substrate.

Ensure the substrate is adequately moist (not waterlogged). Check for drafts or excessive ventilation that might be lowering humidity. Consider adding more substrate or using a humidifier if necessary.

Ensure feeding is done separately from the main enclosure or in a designated feeding dish. If the pet is picking at the substrate, check its diet and ensure it's receiving adequate nutrients.

This usually indicates a need for cleaning. Spot clean waste immediately. If the smell persists, a partial or full substrate change might be necessary. Ensure adequate airflow.
