I've done a lot of research but all the information is very contradicting. I am currently using eco-earth (coco coir) as substrate. I find it to be quite dusty and very messy. My sulcata always ends up getting the coir into the water dish creating a mess (so I have to keep changing the water) and it also gets on the food so I worry about it causing problems. I see lots of people on threads and websites saying that the best substrate for tortoises is a mix of play sand with topsoil/loam/coco coir but then many say sand is a definite no-no as it can cause impaction. I also see a lot of people recommend cypress mulch but it looks very sharp. Could it possibly injure my sulcata and give it splinters or something? What substrate should I change it to or should I just keep the coco coir?
