Well I got the coconut coir yesterday and I thought I would get it ready outside so I did that, then I got Fred and put him in a box with the soil from his current enclosure and brought him outside then I put the coconut coir in his house and put him in the Box. Well he hates it. Anyways I thought the stuff I got was an okay one for now. Well when I was getting it ready outside it didn't seem like the other one I had gotten him when I first got him. It was really dry and it has a different smell. I will attach a screenshot of Fred and the new coconut coir

It doesn't look all that bad, other than the color being different and maybe the particle size/texture also. Hoqwever, you are probably best off just using the Eco Earth bricks by ZooMed. Your tortoise is already used to it, and tortoises do NOT like changes.

LLL Reptile Supply sells single Zoo Med bricks for $3.49 each, or you can get a 3 pack for $8.99. Here is the link:
