Hi,

Aubiose, is the best for very young torts and other is Hemcore and i know people who use that for older torts!!

both types you can get from any equestrian suppliers for about £7 a bale!!

What i do in my table is a bit of everything, it has Aubiose, top soil/sand in a seed tray under the light, pepples and i grow some grass, i have a peace of plum slate inthe cool end for them to eat off!!

Here is a pic if that helps;


Hope that helps!!

Aubiose is probably best, go to their website Aubiose Ltd | The Natural Alternative Horse bedding, the orignal hemp bedding and either email or phone them for a local stockist. I use Aubiose for my snake.
Hemcore is treated with Citronella, I use it for my chickens as it helps keep lice and fleas away and it smells nice, but I don't know if that would make it unsuitable for torts.

SAVE ON HORSE BEDDING AT GJW TITMUSS

I asked that question a few days ago. I got 20 KG when this site was recommended to me for about £8.00 and it came next day!

Iv got the cat litter trays the small ones which you can get from places like wilkinsons, tesco, or pet shops (pet shops are usually expensive) wilkinsons i got mine at 79p each....i mixed the sand and compost myself though if that is what you mean?
