Hello, I am new to the forum and finding it very insightful. I have been wanting a Russian Tortoise for awhile. I am planning on getting a habitat enclosure all set up in the next couple of months and once every thing I prepared and researched I will be bringing home a Russian Tortoise, to join our family
I am really curious about the perfect substrate to use.
1. If I use Coco Coir, should it be mixed with anything else?
2. Should it be kept dry or wet? I have heard some say dry, some say wet, some say moist. Opinions?!?!
3. How deep should substrate be in my inside enclosure?
4. How often should it be changed?
5. I am getting a kiddie pool for a temporary outside sun basking area for my tortoise to use on warm days. Should it have a different substrate? Or the same as inside?
