Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some advice for alternative substrates for my 3 Hermann's tortoises. One is approaching it's 1st birthday and the other two are 2 year olds (they're kept separate).
I've been using ReptiBark thus far and am happy with it, but it's a bit more pricey than I would like. Coco coir was too messy and I constantly was changing their water from them dragging coir into it. What alternatives would you recommend? I have organic cedar mulch, but don't want to use anything that isn't safe for them. If anyone knows of cheaper suppliers of orchid bark, that would be helpful as well. Thank you!
