I know that fertilizer is toxic to tortoises.
Can someone explain why? I'm simply, curious.
Thank you!

Nothing like letting nature handle it.
The above sentence should read, "But it should be fine as long as it was used in a pot or table or plot where the tortoise would NOT have access."But it should be fine as long as it was used in a pot or table or plot where the tortoise would have access.

Our gardening "soil" is basically a more fertile version of sand... Plants grow very well in it though! is "potting soil" OK? It doesn't state that it has fertilizers, just says "nutritionally complete"... I'll probably use it when I get home (I'm traveling)!Angela, to all of that I say, "Everything in moderation." Fertilizers should not be over used, improperly used, or used recklessly, but being that some soils are nutrient poor or calcium deficient, I have no problem with the careful and judicious application of some soil amendments, be they man made chemicals or natural compost type things. Each type has their good and bad points.
There's no perlite in the mix, here is the packaging info:Potting soil is fine if the tortoises don't have access to it, and they haven't added any funky chemicals to it. The problem with "potting soil" in an enclosure is that they add things like vermiculite or perlite, which you don't want your tortoise ingesting.
Oh ok, there were 2 bags of soil so I was getting confused!That is "Planting Soil" not "Potting Soil". And it appears to be peat and not soil. I don't see anything in there that would hurt a tortoise.
