Best Tortoise Bedding for 2022

Another fantastic tortoise substrate from Komodo, this bedding is perfectly safe to eat in case your tortoise has a habit of munching on theirs.

It has been blended with flowers, leaves and grasses for a completely natural feel. If they do eat it, the high fibre content will keep everything running smoothly. It is also packed with natural vitamins and nutrients and is able to be used straight out of the packaging.

You can also use this bedding as part of their diet, in conjunction with a natural balanced diet. Simply place it down on the base of their tank, and it will mean they eat in a foraging manner, which is more natural for them.

The addition of flowers and other nice-smelling properties means it keeps smells at bay, too. Because it is a completely natural product, there are some twig-like stray pieces throughout, so either get these out or keep a close eye on your tortoise.

Sometimes we’re not looking for fanciest reptile bedding in the world, we just want something that does it’s job efficiently, and keeps our tortoise snug, warm and well looked after.

Because while this Tortoise Terrain from Pets At Home may be a simple enough substrate, it really is a great option for pet owners who keep their shelled shuffler in a vivarium environment.

Specifically designed just for tortoises, the bedding uses a mix of sterilised soil and limestone grit, which is dust free and great for burrowing. It also retains heat well, and utilises a fine texture which makes clean up quicker and more efficient than it is with thicker or leafier substrates.

It’s a great alternative for Tortoises who are struggling to get on with pure soil substrates, as the added grit provides a more sand-like surrounding, which still provides all the benefits you would want in a tortoise bedding.

It’s the easiest way to provide your pet with a comfortable and hassle-free home life!

When looking for the perfect tortoise terrain, it doesn’t get much better than this premium substrate from Komodo, the world’s leading reptile and amphibian care brand.

Made from 100% natural straw, Komodo have made a substrate that’s suitably soft for our shelled friends, and helps promote the dry or humid environment that certain tortoise breeds thrive on.

But as well as offering a comfortable quarters for your little Donatello to bask in, this bedding has been developed especially to also ensure the safety and well-being of your hare-fooling friend.

Eco-friendly, sustainable and biodegradable, the straw pellets are virtually dust free and break down into fine particles when wet. This means they also break down in the same way if accidentally swallowed by your tortoise, reducing the risk of any digestive issues or impaction.

They’re also ultra absorbent, meaning soiled pellets become easily spotted for removal, reducing the chance of ammonia build-up and making it easy for you to keep your tortoise’s home spotless and fresh-smelling.

It’s one shell of a substrate!

The clue’s in the name with this one, and your tortoise will undoubtedly be thanking his lucky stars should he come home to find this fancy floor bedding waiting for him!

A special substrate developed in collaboration with breeders and Zoological institutions, Lucky Reptile’s 100% natural, peat based bedding has been specifically designed for tortoises only, unlike other products which cater for several reptiles at once.

This loose and airy, soil-like substance helps keep vivariums insulated, maintaining humidity levels and stabilising the microclimate you have painstakingly created for your shelled trooper’s life. Thanks to it’s soft and mildew-resistant properties, it’s also odour free, and quickly absorbs active scents attempting to stink up the tank!

Our favourite feature though is the soil’s tortoise specific pH scale, making it a natural and healthy hatching substrate that is free from any chemical nastiness and even compostable!

Because every tortoise home needs to be healthy as well as happy!
