Okay . . . . labels are seldom what they say. I need a microscope to read all the fine printed ingredients on anything. I purchased "organic" soil from a garden store for Digger's indoor habitat. I just opened the bag and dumped it in. No problem, right? After all it's "organic". Yeah but what are all these little white specks? They feel like Styrofoam. Since when is Styrofoam organic? Is this going to be an issue for my ten year old? Help! It's always something.

Sorry to say but yes, they could be a problem. Tortoises are attracted to white and red things. Your tort might try to eat them and become impacted.
