: Someone told me that bird seed was a good bedding for a tortoise. Is this true?
: Thanks,

I don't think it would be bad if they ate it, but I wouldn't use it for substrate. It would not allow the tortoise to have good footing and will have trouble walking. It will also probably mold pretty easily. I have found hay works really well. My sulcata makes little burrows through it.
