Is calcium sand mixed with coconut coir safe for a 9 month Sulcata tortoise who likes to dig? I read it was fine if mixed together but still worry about impactation? Any advice would be appreciated.

Charity and little digger, Obi 😊

Absolutely not safe. Anything else that you were told by the person who told you that should be suspect. Most care info on line and from pet stores is all wrong and will lead to pyramiding or death. Here is the correct care info and your questions are welcome:
