Also I can only fine the coarse type repti bark here in Malaysia, I intend to buy the fine ground repti bark.

Would the coase type repti bark suffice?
I am just concern on the poor crawling ability of my baby sulcata once he is on a uneven and loose terrain. ?
I only have raised 1 sulcata. I used coco coir with cypress mulch on top. I never used reptibark. @Tom could answer that.

Do you give him calcium or any vitamins?

yes, I gave him Tortoise powder by My Cutter Diet. It contains calcium and vitamin A, B, K, Additive C blended with grounded alfalfa, rye, timothy etc. but no actual amounts in terms of percentage. So I can not be sure how much his daily calcium and vitamins intakes are.

@Tom I'm having trouble of placing Sphagnum Moss in my enclosure because my baby sulcata won't stop munching on it. So I get rid of it.
If I had known you were using moss I would have told you to remove it. As you've seen, they eat it and it can cause impaction.
