: Hi,
: I recently acquired a hatchling egytian tortoise. Very cute! Anyway, just wondering what substrate you use for your kleins.
: Thanks, Karen

Hi, I used paper rolls for the young kleinmanni of mine. Later I used a synthetic astro-turf like sunstrate and then I began using 50/50 of top soil and canadian peatmoss. however,the 50/50 soil/peat moss was a nightmare because it clogged the little guy's nostrills. So right now I am using paper. Its easy to clean and wont harm the tortoise. I must say, some tortoise might be tempted to start eating the paper, luckily i didn't have a problem with that. You can ask EJ, another kleinmanni owner for his oppinion. Good luck!
