Other countries see their torts living wild and thriving even multipliing like rabbits on their sandy soil but how many are dying from impaction? Why would they even look into it? Here, though, it's a struggle to keep our baby torts healthy due to humidity and temp concerns and when we have one die for some reason or other we have them necropsied. Chances are a sandy soil would be fine for you. you may have success for a while but then one day a new tort baby you get will die and you'll kick yourself if it's because of impacted sand...
Where are all these people who are getting their animals necropsied?
