So I just got my first leopard tortoise from a breeder in Arizona and I have his cage set up with sphagnum miss in one corner under the basking light for a micro climate and I have Eco-earth bedding on the rest of the cage and a layer of orchard grass covering the Eco earth to promote grazing but I'm worried he might eat to much of the Eco earth. I just can't get a lock on the best substrate to use and I'm kinda stuck. I'm using a exoterra 125 watt solar glow mercury vapor bulb for heat and have hides placed throughought. Any feed back I can get would be really helpful! Planning on a diet of Timothy, orchard grass, endives, collards, mustard greens, prickly cactus pads, watercress, dandelion greens, escarole, and turnip greens all rotated with a little Mazuri here and there with repti cal ever other day. He is three weeks old. Any additional ideas or tips would be much appriciated
