Hi all!
I have recently "inherited" a Russian tort from a family member who is no longer able to care for her. I'm a big animal lover (cats, dogs, horses, you name it, it's at my ranch), so I've been researching the Russian tort like crazy to help prepare for her arrival. One thing in particular, though, has me confused. I've seen lots of different advice on Russian tort substrates, many contradicting, and I'm not sure what's best to use or why.
Right now, I'm thinking of using a corsi and play sand mix (as suggested at www.russiantortoise.org). Does this sound appropriate? Are there better alternatives? I'm open to other suggestions as well! I'm currently building her a large indoor tort table for the moment, until I can prepare her a nice enclosed outdoor area.
Thanks if advance!
