It has worked really well for me and is great with keeping the humidity up the in enclosure, which is SUPER important at such a young age!

Toms threads are about raising them hot and humid.
Using hay for bedding in that environment would cause mold to grow and be bad for your tortoises health.
If you go humid (you should) then no hay.
