Hi, guys, noticed my hermann is nibbling his substrate, i use a substrate called aspen bedding, the site where i got it from says its been tested and suitable for hermanns,

i did email them and they said its not harmful to your tortoise but maybe your diet is lacking in something which is why the tortoise is nibbling the substrate? i feed him i feel a suitable diet, i mainly use florette classic crispy selection from my local store, and also have pellet foods that i water down so that they are not hard, i dont feed him that daily though, out of 7 days he gets fed 5 and out of them days he gets nutrobal sprinkled on his food twice a week and calci dust 3 times a week,
has anyone ever had this problem? and is it a problem? he seems healthy, eating, pooping and flying about as usual?
