Hey guys, Im new to the thread so I don't really know how this goes so imma wing it XD
Im from Hong Kong and I own 4 Leopard Tortoises, 2 are 1 months old and the other 2, I believe are almost 1 year old.
I put them together in this big tank and they seem to get along well with each other.
I just have a few questions that I need answering and can't seem to get a straight answer online.
1. What Kind of substrate should I use? The guy who sold me the turtles said I should use this corn cob bedding, but online said I should use 50/50 mix of play sand and coconot coir. So i used the 50/50 sand mix. Is this a good choice? Im afraid the turtles would accidentally eat the soil or play sand and I know thats bad for them :S any suggestions?
2. I've been feeding them Kale + grass + Mazuri Tortoise diet pellets. I've been mixing them together every morning. Any suggestions? What kind of vegetables can I use instead of kale?
3. How humid should the tank be?
4. I saw this rabbit food package called "Birch Back Herbage" and all it contains is weeds, grass and hay and it claims to be a high fiber diet. Would this be appropriate for the turtles? Right now I'm buying dried grass from a local pet store and the owner said its "American Grass" :S. What do you guys think?
I know its a lot but I'll appreciate it if you guys could help me out!
Thanks!
