I've recently started using komodo tortoise eco terrain for my two hermanns and have noticed they seem to keep eating it. I've heard that tortoises will sometimes eat the soil if they aren't getting enough calcium.
I always dust their food with vitamin and calcium powder and have a little fish for them to nibble on. Please could someone suggest a better way of getting the calcium in their diet?
Also, is them eating their substrate a problem? It's a soil sand mix and the tortoises don't eat it all the time.
Hope someone can help.
