Unfortunately, from what I have read, all substrates will get these little bugs. It's part of the whole tortoise package. You can buy the roly poly bugs to add to the enclosure and they will help to keep the bug count down.


Another solution is to bake the substrate every week or two. This will keep them from every being able to develop. I find that either baking or boiling keeps them away longer then freezing.


I don't have to buy roly polys. And now I find out those centipedes that get in my house are beneficial...lol
