So I have three young tortoises and I am keeping my humidity high for them. I am mixing their bedding often but I am still noticing a slight white fungus growing in the bedding. How do I keep it from growing and ruining all the bedding? I am using 50/50 topsoil/coconut coir for their bedding. I have heard that high humidity is best for young torts to keep them from pyramiding and growing properly.
In order to combat the fungus I have only been keeping the humidity high in their hides and about halfway across the enclosure so that at least some of the bedding will completely dry out. I am still seeing the fungus pop up on the humid side though.
