I'm new to the tortoise world so please bare with me.
I've had my marginated tortoise (Splinter) for about a week now and have been researching what type or substrate to use. My girlfriend bought me splinter at a pet store and as for substrate they told her rabbit pellets which i quickly found out it was total bs.
Anyway as of right now im using cocofiber for the bottom layer and reptibark on the top. I haven't seen him actively eating the reptibark. I put his food on top of a flat rock in the corner. My only concern is that he his a messy eater and sometimes there are small pieces of bark stuck to his foot and while he eats, it sometimes get stuck on the food as well and consumes it. Should i be concerned about this?
