Hello, I am new here and am getting a baby dalmatian tortoise. I have a few questions with things I am uncertain about and have not been able to find the answer to anywhere else.
I live in an urban area, so most of the food for the tortoise will be bought from the grocery store or pet store. Is it safe for the food to come from the grocery store? And what types should I buy? I know cactus, cucumber, and weeds are good, but is aloe also good for it?
For substrate I am planning to use fir bark and coconut fiber, is this good and is there any better recommendations?
I also would like to make the enclosure more appealing for both me and the tortoise. Is there anything that you recommend for this and does anyone have ideas?
Thank you to anyone that helps.
