Substrate (Canada)

[melissaadams744]

Hello!
I was wondering if someone from Canada that uses top soil or potting mix for substrate could recommend the best one they use. I’m having a hard time picking one out that doesn’t have anything bad in it for the tortoise.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!
Sorry, that it's a bit off topic. Soil is not generally recommended substrate for tortoises, so you may consider using coco coir or fir bark (orchid bark). They can be found in garden centers or plant nurseries.
