Hi
I’ve recently switched to using coconut coir for my baby Redfoot. Previously used bark chip but found humidity to be low and coir was highly recommended on forums.
Problem I have is that once in the vivarium, the tort is getting very messy. His food and water trays are almost full of coir. His face is also getting very covered and my concern is the coir getting into his eyes or stuck between the shell and legs.
I’ve greatly reduce the amount coir but still the same problem.
I’ve attached some pictures of the enclosure but I didn’t manage to catch a pic of his face. I can later if needed.
By the way I used the loose coir rather than brick.
Would appreciate any advice!
