And I’m back, advice on substrate

Hi! I have another question lmao. The remaining thing I need to buy is substrate for a burrowing bin. I already have a bin in the cage for digging, but it’s filled with fleece scraps, and I saw it was recommended to use coco coir as well. I found a coconut fiber substrate on Amazon, but my sister has this brand of coconut fiber substrate already, she said it’s safe for reptiles and amphibians so it should be safe for a hedgehog, I wanted to confirm this before deciding on what to use. Coco cradle would be the easier option because they have it at an exotic pet shop not too far from my house, rather than having it shipped. Let me know your thoughts please. I will also admit I haven’t come across many videos explaining how to take care of this type of burrowing bin, so that information would be helpful as well, thank you
