What substrate is better for tortoises?

A substrate that is better for tortoises could vary depending on the species and the individual tortoise. You may choose to create layers in your pet's tank, with a different substrate at the bottom than the bedding on top. Both can be for digging, but you don't want either to be a material that your pet might eat or be indigestible if it gets eaten. It should hold humidity but not be wet all the time. Ask your reptile vet for guidance on the best tortoise substrate and bedding for your pet given the setup you create.

What type of bedding should I use for my tortoise?

You might need to mix and match tortoise substrate and bedding to find what works best for your pet. You need a bedding that allows your tortoise to dig, that they won't eat, that won't cause problems if it is ingested, and that doesn't stay wet all the time. Reach out to your reptile vet for advice on what's best for your tortoise.

How deep should the substrate be for a tortoise?

The proper depth of tortoise substrate is generally believed to be about 2 inches. However, larger tortoise species may require up to 5 inches of substrate to accommodate their natural habitat. Spot clean it daily and fully clean it regularly. Consult with your vet on any questions or concerns.
