Was wondering if anyone could help and tell me the perfect bedding to use for my tortoise pumpkin he is a ibera greek tortoise & i want to know the perfect set up for him to have! this is currently how his home looks, currently am using a bulb that gives off some heat but not enough as id like but am getting that tomorrow, he also uses rabbit pellet things atm with hay, i know this isn’t ideal but only had him a month! he loves to bury down so i was wondering what would be good to use in his house so he can do that? have attached a picture of his current home, thank you! btw he is around 25 so an adult tortoise !
