I was wondering what you would put on the bottom of a tortoise tank? Is hay ok or is straw better or can you suggest somthing else that may be better?
I'm getting a Indian star tortoise which is a non med

Hi and
Firstly I would strongly suggest that you read about Indian stars Tortoises before you get one see link attached

Hay or Straw are not substrates that you would use on any reptile, and Tanks are not suitable housing. I  do not personally have Indian Stars but a friend of mine does, so if you ask questions I will try and find the answers for you

Have you not though about getting a med tortoise at all?
