I have a question for you all regarding bedding for russian tortoises. From what I've gathered, a mixture of bed-a-beast and sand seems to be the preferred substrate. I found a product from T-Rex called Jungle Bed that says its a mixture of Forest Bed (their equivalent of bed a beast), coconut bark, calci-sand and vermiculite. This sounds like an ideal bedding and it doesn't require any mixing, however on the back it has a species guide with their bedding preferences and they DON'T recommend it for russians.

I was just wondering if any of you use this product or your thoughts on it. Thanks!

Steve
