Hello good people

Unfourtunatly I discovered that I am slightly allergic to soil.
I have asthma and sleeping in the same room with 10 gallons of soil is really not a good idea.

So I ask of you good people to help me out choosing a good substrate for my tortoise.

Please choose something from the pages that I can order from.
These are Reptil Lagret and Akvarieshopen.

Please let me know which one is suitable for my tortoise and I beg of you - do not recommend me something that are not on those pages because it is almost impossible to find here. I don't want to use soil. Let me know ASAP somy tortoise can move in to his new home!

Cheers

The Zoo Med or T-Rex Aspen snake bedding would be ok, but you would have to add some moss to the hiding place so the tortoise can get a little bit of humidity. You can't moisten the aspen as it would mold. The first three Lucky Reptile products would be ok and you CAN moisten them.

Hi there! Yvonne has great suggestions for you. :) I would get the smallest particles as they are likely to be easier for the tort to walk on. Best wishes.
