I have a Greek tortoise hatchling and I was wondering what the best substrate to use is! I've recently been saying that just soil is the best but I feel like it would just stick to him if he were to walk in his water bowl and then walk on that. Any advice?!

I have Leopards and Russians, but I like coco Coir best for little ones. I keep it moist and pack it down with my hand. For the big guys I use coco husk fiber. Orchids bark is also highly recommended.
