Hey everyone,
So I've been using a mix of sand and peat moss for my two Sully's, but the peat moss is WAY too dusty. I spray it down daily and it's fine in the little guys tank since it's so humid, but even after being sprayed in the big guys cage, it is too dusty. After a day or two every surface in the room outside of the enclosure has a layer of dust on it from the tortoise pen!
I have been searching for months for Cypress Mulch and have given up for now. No store in Edmonton has it, I have called landscaping places, Rona, Canadian Tire, garden stores, etc. It is apparently hard to find in Canada... I have seen it mentioned as difficult by other Canadians online as well.
The cages are big, so I'd prefer not to buy from the petstore.
I went to Canadian Tire today and they had bricks of Coconut Coir that expand to 2 cubic feet. Is Coir less dusty? If not, do you have any other suggestions?
