Hello everyone!! I recently got a Sulcata tortoise between 1-2 years old. My brother passed away last year and he was his pet. So it is VERY important to me that he is well taken care of!! My 3 year old son named him "Crush". (this was his birthday present)
Anyway I am makin myself CRAZY over what substrate to use in his tortoise house. I was using some sort of bark but the vet told me to take it out because he had a runny nose from it. My dad got him Vita-sand today and I have been doing some research and see good an bad things. Is the vita- sand ok? Before he found that I was between Timothy hay and alfalfa pellets. Please help me, lol! I have never owned any kind of reptile!! Only dogs! So I am pretty clueless but I want everything to be perfect for Crush thank you so much for any tips and advice....
