Hi,
I have a little 3 year old Hermann’s tort and we are unsure of what substrate we should be using. In the past we have used wood chips and have been told that it is a bad substrate because when wet it breeds bacteria by this website: http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/substrates.html However we have started using a mixture of soft play sand and top soil and have been told that this can cause health problems. Is there a better substrate we should be using
Thanks ?
