Thanks guys. I plan to just use the cypress. I do feed him on a little plate that I wash daily. I just worry when he digs that it might hurt him. He seems to love the coconut coir stuff but it is SO MESSY!!!
So I picked up a big bag of cyrpess mulch yesterday. But won't he get slivers from it? Should I mix anything else in with it. He LOVES to dig. Seems pretty boring just the mulch. Also what about timothy hay in a part of his enclosure is it good or bad? I heard it molds easy what do you guys think?
Oh yeah he will have lots of space. The ramp is HUGE but we figured we wanted to make it for him to grow into. And if he needs something bigger down the line I am sure we can figure something out. we were actually going to put the ramp at an angle but I wanted it to be at a very graduale...
Its a weird angle on the pic but there are 10 inches on both sides. It actually looks quite a bit smaller than it does in person. But I am so short that it's hard to get a good pic
I hope he does too!! We actually made it a easy incline. It came out farther onto the table than I wanted it to but it will be easier for him to go up and down and not steep. It actually has grooves in it for traction but we might need to put something else on it if the grooves don't do the...

Well we added our tortoise last week. He is a male russian tortoise. I am in the process of having my husband build me a tortoise table. I stole the idea from a picture on here :) Hope whoevers it is doesn't mind!!! It still isn't 100% done we need to stain and seal it. The little roof of the...
Oops I meant to say 90% coconut stuff to 10% sand. I saw cypress mulch at petsmart. Is it ok to just use that? I would rather but he seems to love to dig in that coconut stuff.
How do you get that coconut stuff to stay in one place. It gets in his food dish and water. I am worried about him accidentaly eating some of it on his lettuce. I didn't mix much sand in with it. I would say 90% to
Ok I read thru alot of the topics on this but I am one that needs reassurace so here it goes.
I am brand new to tortiose's. I just got my russian this week. Anyway I had a box turtle before and he was so different with his needs. I did some browsing on this site and decided to go with the eco...
Hello everyone! I got your website from someone (sorry I deleted all the emails) He might see me on here. Anyway I was the owner of an ornate box turtle whom I just rehomed with a good friend (makes her 7th turtle) anyway I could not feed bugs. We had her for a little over a year and I just...
