Hello,
We have just given a home to our first Tortoise.
Rocky is a 2 year old spur thighed tortoise.
We have a table for him and he has his little house, a shallow pool and a small rock area including a basking rock under his lamp. All we have left to get for him is a couple of artificial plants and to put in a weed tray once the weeds have grown up a bit.
My daughter and I have done a fair bit or reading up from sources like the tortoise trust and tortoise protection so we should be good with his bath schedule (every two days), his sterile soil as substrate and his D3 combined lamp at 33 degrees.
We have bought weed seed for meds from shelledwarriors but unfortunately, until that grows up enough to use we are limited to dandelion as neither of us are very good yet at identifying the other weeds.
Anyway, just a quick hello from Rocky and if you see anything above that we are doing wrong or are missing please let us know : )
