Aw wow yes great idea thankyou. I will do that as you say it’s easier to take the top one off to keep clean. Yes the uk isn’t quite warm enough yet and she knows it’s coming cos she keeps going to the back door to make me feel guilty 🤣 Thanks for the photos, looks great. Can’t wait to give her...

Aw wow thankyou for including photos step by step, gives me an idea on where to start for my first outdoor enclosure. Very helpful 😉

Haha no I guess she does t NEED to soak every day I guess I would just like to give her fresh water to drink or soak whenever she wanted to that’s all. And when I soak her indoors as I have been doing, the water is usually just a little warmer than it would be outside so was just wondering...

Hi all, so I’m getting a new house with a garden for my baby and I’m wondering how I can make an outdoor bath for her that I can easily change the water daily and also how to keep it warm too ? Does anyone use heat mats under the bath or tub and how would I make this myself. Can’t find any ideas...

The front nails are ok as she has filed them down herself by digging but no her beak is not over grown. Just the feet, or mostly the inside nail on both feet. So she can’t walk flat footed.

I just worry about the one underneath, most torts Iv seen on vids walk flat on their feet but mine doesn’t and that thumb-like-nail is curling under the foot

Oh wow really ? I guess I best just hurry up and get her an outdoor bit then. Thankyou I won’t bother cutting then cheers

Yes I do know her enclosure isn’t what she needs right now and hasn’t been for a while since life problems but I’m in the process of buying a new home for us both where she can have a proper outdoor part where I know her nails will grind down naturally. But in the process of being indoors for a...

Hello can anyone suggest the best nail cutters for a large marginated tortoise nails ? I bought the Komodo ones off Amazon and they a dollar small and in my opinion not sharp enough for my Torts toe nails. Very disappointed with this purchase and don’t want to buy more useless cutters. Thanks...

Interesting, might have to research that then, thanks

Hi I also experience these “gnats” you call them. If they are just left without traps how long would it be before they would be overpopulated ? As in how often should I clear the whole enclosure out totally ? Is every year sufficient ?

I hardly use any as I’m out training all day and used to work away too. I can only go by what she says and she states it’s got to be the heat and lights that’s caused the increase which is stated to be an extra £170 on top of what she usually pays. I will only know when I get my own home and...

DC region ? That doesn’t sound like UK. But thanks anyway, it’s not a new home I need, it’s a temporary home for a few weeks. Cheers

In the enclosure Iv made the humidity is rarely past 60% unless I turn the fogger up but I understand that is bad as it’s cold not warm humidity so I don’t often do that. I spray a lot daily. But Iv been in temporary living arrangements for quite a while now and I’m thinking it’s taking it’s...

Ok, I think I knew the answer, Iv enquired about the hotel. At the end of the day my sister didn’t choose to have a tortoise, that was my choice, it wasn’t her fault that me and my partner split up and I had to move out. And it does cost a lot to keep a tortoise. But it’s killing me watching her...
