Hi, im new to this forum, ive got 2 russian tortoise me and my brother have 1 each, rocky (mine) sandy (his) , they are both 1 and a half years old, and are 3.5 inch approx. I have had 4 years of experiene so i know a couple of things...
i use a mix of topsoil and playsand 50/50, i do not want to use anything else such as pellets, hemp bedding, hay , shredded paper etc, the tortoise trust, one of the main companies in the UK also use this substrate and do not have a problem with it, i have just noticed since ive had these torts for a day or two, that the sand gets stuck in there eyes, do i lower the content of playsand and just put more top soil in? Or do i use just all top soil (which i really dont want to do)....
