It's to dry and if gets eaten can cause compaction and if it gets wet will produce mold spores.
Go for top soil or as I use a good gritty sand as you wont find many tortoises in the wild living on shredded wood.!
I suspect these are all the products the shop told you you would need.

The hemp bedding came with the set up. Edible bedding I found somewhere else as I thought I could cover the hemp and if she did have a nibble it would be edible. It has dried flower heads mixed in. I feed her in a slate so she rarely snacks on the bedding stuff.
Would you think a mix of topsoil and gritty sand (as in different areas not mixed together) would be a good mixture so she has two different substrates?
Could I be cheeky and ask to see your set up?
