Our baby tortoise don't seem to be very active. One eats everyday one can go 2 days. One walks around the other just stays buried. Very confused . Or are we expecting to much
If everything else in within parameters, it is perfectly normal for a baby to sleep and hide for the majority of the time.Our baby tortoise don't seem to be very active. One eats everyday one can go 2 days. One walks around the other just stays buried. Very confused . Or are we expecting to much

Hiya and thanks. Will make a good read thanks. Anything I can do for our little guys. We're so excited to have them and make sure there as healthy and happy as can beHi and welcome!
There are some caresheets under species specific where you may find one for your torts. The Beginners Mistakes thread is a good place to learn how to avoid problems experienced by others (link below) and the Enclosures thread has some great ideas for safe homes for torts.
Looking forward to seeing some pics of your gang.
Mercury vapour lamp, 32 degree in hot and 20 in cold 1meter square tortoise table. 50/50 topsoil and play sand. See pic had table built especially for them. Got them together as them came together.
Unfortunately some breeders, and pet shops, are more interested in profit than aftercare, but good to hear you are open to advice and I'm sure your torts will have a good home with you. This site is a godsend - I have learnt such a lot in the time since I joined, and I still learn something new everyday!!As I joined the site for help and information Im not offended. We got them together as the breeder said they would be better together. We can amend our living arrangements for them and adapt what we use with helpful information offered by you and others here. I appreciate the info
