im currently building the huge insulated sully house and I've came to a hauls as I don't know how to hinge the door?! Because it is heavily insulated the wall thickness is around 12cm/4.7inches so the door is going to catch and jam as it swings open! I'm not sure how to get around this, I don't...

Has anyone ever used exterior tongue and groove wood for a heated house? I was originally going to use exterior ply -insulation-exterior ply but because I want to make it 300cmx220cm x120cm tall it is going to cost a fortune just for the ply wood. found log lap tongue and groove that looks...

Anyone have any other tips or tricks? I plan on raising it up on blocks and using Toms electrical tips of the loop in wire and shoebox for electrics.

I'm getting my bonus soon and I'm thinking its Gona eat up most if not all of that Hoping to keep it in the hundreds tho. Less is better but if a couple of hundred Gona make the difference between it lasting and staying warm then I figure I will save that money on heating costs in the long...

Thanks that's really helpful. The link to your latest shed is similar to what I have in mind but around half the height and longer length. Do you remember what thickness of materials you used(insulation and sheet board)?

so the time has come for me to design and build my Sullys outdoor home and I have a few questions. Since I got him a couple of years ago I have been watching threads and gaining ideas and tips for the big build. Now I'm researching supplies for the build and reading up on insulation but there...

One of my torts is on his second type of antibiotics as his mycoplasma has flared up again. He never has the runny nose but his poor wee eyes suffer. I am going to show this to my exotic vet as it doesn't look like these antibiotics are helping either

I know right! I'm stumped, my Russians are not nearly as well hydrated and they have never had urates like this. I spoke too soon he laid a turd of them in his soak this evening :( some rocky bits in it were about 4mm ish in diameter. Do you think too much calcium could affect this? Or would...

He gets chopped grass from the garden mainly and then a few weeds (normally plantain, dandelion leaves, smooth sow thistle or cats ear) after his evening soak. He has cuttlefish in his enclosure and I sprinkle calcium powder on his grass every couple of days. That's been a good few days he...

I'm further south now near London (must update info oops) so a little warmer but same applies because it's still cold lol. My humidity gage ran out of batteries a couple of days ago but before it died it was reading around 80%, I've got him in a closed chamber and outside on warm days (none now...

My 15month sully has started laying very gritty urates and I don't understand why. I thought urates were all about hydration? For the first 2weeks of his life (at the breeders) he was kept very dry on newspaper with no water but since then I have soaked him everyday, kept his enclosure humid...

I'm in Essex too Looks like u are off to a good start well done x

It was around £100 here in uk, the torts mouths were swabbed and sent to a special lab in Germany.

It's a shame people are not more aware of mycoplasma. People can do the 6month quarantine and the torts appear fine so then place them together, that's what I did now my torts have it. I would recommend anyone about to place torts together to get their mouths swabbed for it. My torts showed no...

I live not far from that pet store and avoid it like the plague. When I first went in for a look they had very crowded tanks and huge walled water bowls, there was a young tort head first in one so I ran to one of the store workers who didn't seem to care, I got a little worked up as it...

Aw phew thanks! Just went into panic mode when I noticed ones a little older but around half what he is, glad there's no need for alarm Thanks again from me and Ollie Boo

He is 406g Tom

Just wondered if there is a guide for sulcata tortoises? I know of the McIntyre ratio for horsfields and the Jackson ratio but obviously sullys r up there with the big boys and would be nice to have a ROUGH guide (I know they all grow differently). My 9 month old seems to be really beefing up...

What part of essex? I'm from basildon :)

Almost done but he seems to be enjoying it so far, it's built under my russians tort table
