Hi all. New to the forum/first post here! Had a question about what kind of coconut substrate to use. Two of them are the same brand, but one is fine grade and the other is coarse grade. Not sure which grade would be better for my tortoise comfort-wise (burrowing, marching around, etc.) or what the biggest differences may be. Is fine too small and dusty or would coarse be too uncomfortable to burrow through. Links to the brand are below:

Notes:

Thank you for any advice you can offer me!

Thank you! Is coarse just more welcoming for a Russian at surface-level? Would having the fine grade be too dusty?
It reduces the mess. I like the coir underneath because mine love to dig in it. I keep it moist. I water it like a house plant, so it is not dusty. The bark on top, I let dry out between waterings.
