Should there be a top on my indoor enclosure
Hey could I also ask you about the best substrate, I know I'm going to include coco coir but what should I add, and how often should I completely empty out the substrate and add new substrateIt depends on the tortoise's age.
If it is a hatchling/baby/juvie, then higher humidity (with warmth) is better for the tort. Use dampened coco coir, cypress mulch and/or fine fir bark to raise the humidity without a risk of mold.
If it is an adult or over 4" SCL, then an open top and/or outside is fine.
