He's got a basking spot under both of his lights, and as his tank is big the side where his lights aren't are the cooler areas. His lights are on for probably more than 12 hours a day there not on a timer though, I turn the temp up every morning and lower it down of a night time, the temp in the...
They were brilliant :) archie likes to do exactly the same then he looks up at me as if how did that happen when he nose dives into the floor haha :) who knew tortoises could keep u entertained that much :)
Thanku for your advice :) Archie is now out of his bedroom and sunbathing under his light :) his still not eating much but it's picking up so I've got one happy tortoise :) thanku :)
The temperature under his light is 80f.
The cool end is 70f
And at night it goes to about 70f
He was in a viv before his table so obviously the temperature change from being in a stuffy viv to being out in the open is a big one but I've read that the temps should be the same as they are in a...
I wrote on here last week about my hermann he was pacing his enclosure 24/7 and wasn't eating now I've changed his substrate hes stopped pacing but all he's done for the past week is sleep he's hardly eaten anything he doesn't even come out of his house I'm rele worried about him :(
My Hermann tortoise hasn't pooed in the past week but yesterday I was watching him and he was trying to poo but something jelly like was coming out it was purple/red colour and it kept coming out but he couldn't let it go so it went back in. I've just bathed him and when I was drying him he...
Thanku for your comments :) I cleaned his table out yesterday and changed the substrate he had :) he went in the garden for a run around yesterday and today and for the rest of the day he's been sleeping he's doing the opposite of what I posted for :) hes eating abit more and i bathed him for...
I didn't realise they didn't like change that could explain abit. I think aswell because he was in his viv and it held its temp it's alot different now because he's out in the open. Now the weathers picking up I'm going to start putting him outside I'm in the uk so it's just starting to get nice...
I put my tortoise in his new table about 3-4 weeks ago out of a viv, ever since every day he is climbing the walls I've got a mesh lid on it and a 'escape proof lip' but he tries to climb that high that he flips himself on to his back. He's hardly eating anymore and he doesnt have a poo for...
Does anyone know of any vets in the midlands(Birmingham area) that treat tortoises? I've found some on the internet but thought I'd see if anyone's got any recommendations on here? Thanks :)
He's a hermann. His temp is 80 it's the same as it was in his viv I kno it's gona be colder in there because of the no top but he always used to sit under his light in his viv which he doesn't anymore, when hes not running round hes in his bedroom which makes me think the temp is ok because he'd...
Last week I put my tortoise in his new table from his viv. For the first few days he just slept and that was it, then he got a sudden burst of energy and decided to rampage round his house and climb the walls managing to flip himself 3 times. Then for a few days after that he just slept again...
