My tortoise partner, William, was here this weekend winterizing my tortoises. And in doing so he had to make a new spot for three non hibernating almost full grown tortoises.
I had several cinderblock enclosures on the carport and he proceeded to make one large one out of two. We had all the necessary accoutrements, lights, RHPs, feeding tiles, waterer, but no substrate.
William got out his fancy smart phone and looked up nurseries, and the first one he called sold bulk, small particle fir bark! 3cu yards for $50! So he took my truck and went and got us some. He unloaded it onto a tarp that's large enough to cover it and now I have substrate, substrate, substrate!!!
So if you're lookin' for fir bark, give your local nurseries a call .
