Hello!
We have had beautiful Monty (7-year old Hermann) for nearly three weeks now and the last week or so his tortoise table home has really started to reek.
We have coco coir with a top layer of orchid bark.
We spot clean a couple of times a day, and Monty himself is lovely and clean.
Is it normal for substrate to stink after only a couple of weeks?
Might there be a less stinky substrate to use?
We have seen precious few poos, so unless he is eating it all, might he be burying it??
