if I use topsoil/sand as substrate how often do I need to change it?

I've mainly seen 50% sand 50% topsoil recommended, but is that for outside enclosure which would get rained on and so need a sandier composition to help them drain? I had assumed I'd need the 50/50 mix indoors as well but sounds like that's not the case.
Do they not eat readigrass?

I use tortoise lif too, shop around for the best prices, it is cheaper to buy the 25kg bag if you can store it. I am also using it in the small clear food trays to grow weeds in for grazing with great success
