Thought I'd post a recent photo of this group. I've tried different substrate, but they seem to like the coco coir the most.ImageUploadedByTortForum1387231146.684028.jpg

Looking good. Good to know that coco coir works well as a substrate.

Thanks for the pic!

They look great and very beautiful. I just changed my substrate and mixed sphagmum moss and cypress mulch just to try some different things

Ed, yeah, I use cypress for my larger Platynota since i don't worry so much about them eating it. I've used organic soil as well, but it gets really dusty if you don't keep it really moist, so the coir works best with the younger tortoises. They really get down into it and if they ingest any of it, no big deal.
