Thank you for quick respond!
Do you leave a plate with food for whole day in the enclosure so tortoise can eat whenever he likes, or you make them some meal-time (like 2 hours or so)?
Hey!
Sorry for double post, but I'm a little bit confused about feeding hatchlings. Actually every single source I have found tells me something different. So I will ask you guys: how often should I feed my tortoises? Twice per day? Once per day? Three times per week (this is what Kamp Kenan is...
@Tom
Thank you for respond. I have already spoken with 2 enclosure-makers, probably this week or next week I will get another one for younger. I'm trying to keep this substrate hydrated by puting inside 2 liters of water every week + spraying water few times each day.
I will make tests as soon...
About thermostat, you mean to connect it with heating lamp?
I'm thinking that other thing that I may do is just keep enclousers doors open, so the air circulation would be possible - except winter.
In Poland this one is pretty cheap - I bought for my hedgehog with stuff like water bowl, tiny home, substrate for 2 months, ball, carrousel, and heating bulb for like 90$.
New one costs a bit less like 100$ with 2 bulb spots. But I'm wondering is it good, that it's fully closed? Wouldn't be...
One more question - I'm thinking about second enclosure, and I'm not sure what is better - wooden one, or glass one?
I mean, I have two enclousers at this moment, this upper is from tortoises, and lower is from my hedgehog. And I'm a bit confused what kind of those enclosures should be better...
When we are outside, almost all the time someone is looking at them - 50% time me, 50% time my girlfriend :)
Tortoises-behaviour update:
little one is sleeping like this:
and bigger one is underground.
So tonight noone is dominating anyone :p
Gliwice to moje rodzinne miasto, w Katowicach jestem od niedawna :) Swoją drogą, jeśli chodzi o Katowice, to baaaaardzo się zmieniły (na plus).
There's only two places where my tortoises go outside - my parents garden (I have to drive there for like 25mins by a car, it's a bit exhausting for...
There's a weird thing - both of them prefer to sleep on dry side (40%), not humid(80%+). They have their own hides, and both is not using it, they just lay next to basking spot.
For humidity, I'm using water spray + 2 liters of water per 3-4 day. For warming there's a halogen bulb, so...
Dziękuję za odpowiedź! :) Odnoszę niestety podobne wrażenie do tego o czym napisałaś - mały je tylko wtedy, kiedy większego nie ma w pobliżu. Jutro z dziewczyną wybieramy się do sklepów poszukać póki co plastikowej miski, która przez najbliższe parę miesięcy posłuży jako terrarium, natomiast jak...
Okay. I made a little research and here's only two kinds of UVB lights: this curly one, and tube. I think i will just put frame on a piece of board and put there this tube bulb on the top of container. I was really hoping there would like each other :p
One more question - what about substrate...
Thanks alot!
I will do my best to separate them as soon as possible. At this moment I can make an enclosure like this:

would it be fine for some time (like 6 months or so)?
