In Reply to: Thanks Brian & Sonja! Do you think this would work as a Russian substrate? posted by Michelle on April 26, 2000 at 02:01:54:

The only thing I don't like is the vermiculite.
A tortoise might eat it.
Tortoise Trust recommends a 50/50 mix of sterilized sand and potting soil without fertilizer/pesticide/perlite/vermiculite.

FYI - Cypress Mulch is generally made from endangered Cypress trees from the Everglades in Florida.

A good source for hibernation hints/tips is on the Tortoise Trust Website. I think there are two articles there.
