What bedding should i use for my horsefield tortoise?

Question

I cant find much info on what bedding to use for my tortiose Roxy . I was using shredded paper but it wasn't absorbing anything.So recently i have changed to sawdust but thats sticking to his food. Please dont tell me shop names because i might not have this shop in my country so i'd just like the name of the specific bedding that would be suitable for me to use please =)

A mixture of sterile playground sand and bed-a-beast or topsoil makes a good substrate.  Be sure to feed him on a plate and change the substrate frequently to prevent bacteria from growing.

i had the same problem wen getting my tortoises , firsty you should feed them on a saucer to avoid them eating substrate i used allsorts i found i think its hemp there hard woodchips alot of ppl say this is bad but myne love to dig n bury themselves init plus its easily spot cleaned plus they dont eat it and its not dusty so dont get in there eyes
