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?
