Substrate I am using peat moss is that ok. I have 2 tortoises both about 5 to 6 months old.
What species do you have?
Sulcatas
Peat moss can cause the plastron to rot. I had never seen or heard of this until recently when a friend of mine showed me the damage to some of his young hold back leopard tortoises. Fine grade orchid bark is the best substrate. It can be found cheaply in bulk at local garden centers.Substrate I am using peat moss is that ok. I have 2 tortoises both about 5 to 6 months old.
