Hi all

Looking for a bit of advice. What is the best subtrate to use with a horsefield tortoise. Keep getting different advice.

Currently using zoo med soil.

Carla.

There are lots of acceptable substrates: cypress mulch and orchid bark are the two I use.

Coco coir works best for little babies, and orchid bark works best for adults.
