Have you done any comparisons with tortoises to prove this theory, like in different conditions? May I suggest this video for you to watch with an open mind....https://youtu.be/ee-RW6jDyk4?si=rOSlv7uAGLyfBymm
It's very informative and the speaker has done extensive research himself on this very topic. We all want our tortoises to be healthy!

What video and who's did you ask him to watch? If you can get back and make another comment, refer him and any others to the forum. This is where all the correct info is and the member(s) that has proven some /most of the correct info.

I didn't know what the second video was. That's great. But yeah, if you could get TFO and maybe the link to TFO, it might help a lot of people, hopefully.
