I have a baby red footed tortoise that I have been keeping on paper towels due to the fact that she was sick. She has now since gotten better and I was wondering what a good substrate would be to use with her so that she can dig around in it. I have a moist hide in her enclosure now to help with the humidity but her skin is still getting dried out pretty bad. Thanks for any help.
