thanks ill get some pillys (I heard they are one of the only tIt is really hard to get rid of them completely unless you change out ALL of your dirt. They are harmless little bugs though and feed on left over food that your tortoise leaves behind. You can add pill bugs into your enclosure, they will feed on the white bugs.
yeah but they eat the plants in her elclosure and tiny bits of food that get stuck on the dirt lolI find that spot checking for poop and cleaning up the leftover food really helps keeps the bugs down. I also remove the top layer (maybe an inch or so) of substrate every month to every two months and replace it with new stuff. I ran into a gnat problem for a while from not cleaning the soil on a couple of plants I got from lowes, that was super annoying, never again haha.
