Greetings everyone. My name is Andrew. So recently I have upgraded my hatching sulcata to a larger enclosure. I've done a few things different such as substrate. He use to be on the little green mats so as to avoid eating anything I didn't want him to try. Plus it's easier to clean. As he grew I decided to make the substrate coco coir and cypress mulch mixed in. I saw my tortoise eat a piece of cypress mulch! Is this going to present a huge issue? When I lay food down inside, sometimes he'll mistake the mulch for food as well. But I saw him try a piece even without any food.
I thought cypress mulch was good for him. Do you think the piece he ate will kill him?
By the way he is 1 yr old now & I got him fresh out of the egg. He still had his yolk sac on him
He's never been on substrate like this before so it's all new to him
By the way, I been a lurker on the forum for quite some time.
