Would bark be a good substrate for a Russian tort? I saw some videos that said bark would work.
WillTortoise said:I've never used the bark; but others have stated the the bark does not hold moisture as well as the coco coir. If your bark becomes dusty you would not want your tort breathing the bark dust.
You could mix some plain top soil with your bark and then add coco coir for your top layer. Add a few sow bugs and you should be able to have a easy to maintain substrate.
Good luck.
