Hi everyone, I'm looking to get a tortoise soon (Hermann's) and was wondering if there's any substrate which is also bird safe? I have a parrot that will be in the same room as my tortoise and I need a substrate that is also safe for them - parrots have very sensitive respiratory systems!
There's quite alot of "bird" substrate you can get that I'm unsure I can use for a tortoise like EasiChick - https://www.petsandfriends.co.uk/products/easichick-poultry-bedding-10kg - could this be used for tortoises? or has anyone got any tortoise AND bird safe substrate they use?
I've also heard of aspen bedding, beech chips or carefresh being used in tortoises and it's bird safe. Is this ok for tortoises?
Thanks
