Enclosure ides?

[CtTortoiseMom]

In some parts of the country, and depending on how the grain crops did in a given year, straw can be as expensive as hay. And it's not edible, or it's not a good choice for eating.
Erin: To clarify, I said loose hay is not going to spontaneously combust. I would still consider it a fire hazard because it's easily ignited.
My 2 leopard girls still fit in their big tub, but will probably be going into a basement room next winter. Grass hay is premium here, but the Home Depot in Casper carries cypress mulch in the big bags, so that's what we'll be using.

Gotcha, I use cypress in all 3 inside enclosures. I like having my cypress delivered because I could never physically carry the quantity that I get shipped.
