Hi all, I’m new here and after some advice,
We have a 3 year old tortoise in a vivarium and he seems pretty happy but we decided to change his substrate. The exotic pet store suggested the grass pellet things and he’s been on them for like 2 or 3 years now, but we just felt it was a bit too dry and we fancied trying something new, so we went with a mix of tortoise soil and coconut coir. However we now found this incredibly messy, his water bowl is a right mess 2 mins after being changed and it mucks up the glass as well as his food bowl, so again we are looking for alternatives and would appreciate any advice you lot could offer please
