Yep he has two hides but I’m just confused because he isn’t usually as afraid but I’m thinking it could be from the incident with the wood chip yesterday..

He came out after a few more minutes but I’ve noticed once he sees me or movement he goes into his shell like normal but it takes him a lot longer to come back out.

My tortoise has been in his hide for a while and I took the hide away to check on him and he was fully tucked in his shell and he’s been like that for a few minutes since. He’s usually very active so I don’t know what he’s doing, could this wood chip by his leg have something to do with it

I will try to get a UVB bulb next time I’m out and all the correct heating requirements but is it really necessary that they need to be seperated? They seem to be doing fine after a year and I don’t know if I can buy more supplies to seperate them both.

For my two little sulcata tortoises do they need a heat lamp at night? I’ve been using a nightlight heat lamp during the night and they like to sleep by it but I don’t know if I should have it on because the temperature in my house is already 72 degrees Fahrenheit.

Alright thanks for the feedback, sounds good!

Since it’s getting too cold for my tortoises to be outside for a few hours I took their outside home inside and I was wondering if this is ok? The lamp above their hide is a heat lamp (they’re sleeping in it rn) and the other one is just for light. (Don’t mind the black bin, it’s just the bin I...

Wow! Never thought about that!

One of my torotises has two scutes on the top of its carapace that are really close together and I’m worried it’s a problem…is it?

It was the tortoise whisperers video on Ike’s surgery

Yes 🤦🤦

i was in bed tonight watching a tortoise video when I noticed my tortoises woke up and started walking around…I don’t usually sleep in the same room as them but was this because I was up so they were up? Did they think it was feeding time? Replies are appreciated 😂

This is their enclosure although I’ve moved the cave closer to the heat lamps and moved the lamps a couple inches closer to the ground.

I have two sulcata tortoises, one being 2 years old and the other 1 year old. My older one is roughly 3 inches long and I’m very worried he is way too small and my younger one is roughly 2 inches long. They eat good and are very active and I have been keeping them in a cheap enclosure I made...
