Tortoise Eco Terrain 10LTR
A 100% natural substrate, replicating arid environments for Mediterranean and Russian tortoises with soil and sand mix for normal burrowing.
Tortoise Eco Terrain is specially designed to meet the flooring needs of Mediterranean, Russian and other tortoise species from arid environments. This substrate mimics the natural terrain found in their native habitats, providing a comfortable and realistic environment for your tortoise. With a deep layer of Tortoise Eco Terrain, your tortoise can engage in natural behaviours such as burrowing, helping to maintain their physical and mental health.
Made from 100% natural materials, it is sourced from renewable resources, making it an eco-friendly choice for both you, your pet and the planet. Tortoise Eco Terrain helps replicate the dry, sandy, and earthy ground that tortoises naturally inhabit, ensuring a safe, stimulating, and sustainable habitat for your pet.
How to use:
What is Komodo Tortoise Eco Terrain?
Komodo Tortoise Eco Terrain is a tortoise substrate designed to emulate the natural environment of arid species. As a soil and sand mix, it helps to encourage normal burrowing behaviour while also absorbing any waste. The Tortoise Eco Terrain 10l bags give you enough to create a deep layer of substrate, ideal for burrowing. However, if you have a particularly large enclosure, you may want to consider stocking up on a few bags.
How do I set up this tortoise terrain?
Add tortoise terrain like any other substrate, by slowly filling your tortoise table and spreading it evenly. To encourage natural digging you will want to create quite a deep substrate layer. We recommend about 5cm of substrate for juvenile tortoises and then a bit more for adults. If you are unsure, we recommend a depth of about half the height of your tortoise’s shell.
Is this terrain right for my tortoise?
Tortoise Eco Terrain aids desert-dwelling tortoises, such as the Mediterranean tortoises and Russian tortoises, but it does little for tropical species. Ensure that your tortoise prefers an arid enclosure before adding this substrate.
How do I look after this terrain?
You should spot-check your tortoise terrain daily to remove any soiled areas where waste has been absorbed. We then recommend doing a full substrate change about every 2-3 weeks to keep your pet’s home clean and tidy.
