We bought a cypress blend of mulch today and was wondering if it is okay to use for my tortoises. It doesn’t smell like pine or cedar.

I read somewhere that it was safe, and when I told everyone I was using cypress mulch, no one told me it was wrong! So I think you are good!!

I use the cypress blend mulch from ace hardware with no issues.

I actually rinsed mine first to remove the dust. Recently used 2 bags for my tortoises new home.

Greetings..

I used Home Depot cypress mulch along with coco coir and peat moss mixture in our Sullys indoor enclosure. No problems.

That said, I’m wondering what they coat the “no float” mulch with? Id check the ingredients out closely before using. OR, just get regular cypress mulch.
