Were you looking to get substrate? Do you have lights?

Any plants that are safe for them to eat are fine in the viv.

Maybe a few more hides. Might find some ideas here http://www.shelledwarriors.co.uk/for...ead.php?t=4941

It is best to keep it simple to give the tortoise maximum room to roam. If you'd like greenery... go for fake plants. Live plants are very difficult to maintain in a viv.

Sorry Ed I disagree. Fake plants can be eaten by larger Red Foots and by having plants it will increase the humdity-obviously to plant them you do need soil in the substrate though. I have hibiscus, strawberry and lavendar plants and am adding a few more.
