I know there's a lot of different views on substrate. I currently just have coconut coir in his enclosure. Should I mix in top soil or any other substrates? Or can I just leave it how it is?
Thanks

Personally if you have torts that like to burrow, I would mix with plain dirt. I have a Leo, so I like plain coir. However, I can't imagine plain coir is that easy to make a tunnel or burrow in, as I don't think it would do any thing but collapse.
