Hello everyone!
I'm new to this site and new to taking care of tortoises too. i just purchased a red footed tortoise hatchling and i have a few questions about which substrate to use.
I'm from the Philippines and most of the websites i've been too suggest using cypress mulch as a substrate mixed with sphagnum moss. Ive been able to locate sphagnum moss but i can't find any cypress mulch over here. there is though an abundance of coco fiber and coco peat over here. Would any of you know if those are any good for a red footed tortoise?
Also, to all the tortoise hobbyists living in the philippines in this forum, if there are any where do you get your tortoise supplies?
THANKS!
