The title says it all:
How deep should the substrate be?
It is probably a really silly question, but I have heard many different answers to it. From only a few centimetres to more than a couple of inches. Is there an average amount of substrate that should be allowed for my tortoises to burrow? They are going to be hatchlings so not big enough to need a really deep amount at all. Thanks in advance! :tort:

Ok thank you. It is hoping to be some parts coconut coir and other parts topsoil basically a mixture if both.

They should be a couple of Hermanns and topsoil and coconut coir.
