No they don't, most live on soil, grass is usually damp. Probably won't have that problem indoors though. You do need a deep layer of soil for the horsfields, as digging is what they do best

grass for your sully and leopard is a good idea but I'm not sure about all over, maybe half the table and only a bit for the horsfeild, I don't even know if horsfeilds eat grass but the others certainly do. I have grass growing in my sully's table but it doesn't do very well, it seems to do better in her greenhouse, it survives inside but doesn't thrive. I think its the lack of natural light (can't think what else), they are lovely tables but do give the horsfeild some bare soil so it can dig.

I made the mistake of putting ready grass in mine once it got white mold on it, had to change all there houses within a couple of days was a pain.

Hi.
Very clever design however the subtrate is wrong. I advise you to switch to topsoil only(no sand). What type of tortoise d'you have?
