I am building a new enclosure and want to have ideal substrate depth. If I remember correctly it is 12"? I have read some places that the length of the tortoise is sufficient for substrate depth.
I have kept them in small to medium sized fir bark because where I live I cannot find smaller...
Ok so I found this stuff at menards it looks exactly like coconut coir to me. My plan was to put about 4 inches of this down and then cypress multch on top for a dry layer has anyone else used this stuff before does it work is it safe? Or am I better off just buy eco earth or something like that...
Hey guys
I have a hide in the warm end for my Russians that I spray a couple of times a day for a bit of humidity if they want it (they're between 1-2 yo I believe).
I bought this live sphagnum moss for them. Is it ok to use for Russians? There's a list of animals on the back but tortoises...
my little tort is being treated for an eye injection and ive had a few people recommended using orchid bark or orchid mulch/sphagnum moss for his substrate.
I can’t seem to find anywhere to buy it in the uk does anyone know where I can get it?
Also is sphagnum moss okay to use? I thought...
I need to waterproof (or water resist) my wood enclosure quick. I am intending to put some sphagnum peat moss in there which gets a little moist. However, I don't really have another place for my tortoise if it has to dry for a really long time. Any ideas?
