    Help with lighting / mounting to arm

    Hi everyone, I'm about to buy this tortoise table (pictured), however I'm very confused as to how I set up the lights on the arm, and what products I need to buy. (I've heard a reflective lamp is good?) I'm UK based if anyone has any links! I'd greatly appreciate it. My tort is a 10 year old...

    He’s really only using his viv to sleep in (or on the odd day I’m in the office) until I can afford a proper tortoise table - I hope this is okay ❤️

    Hi everyone. Can I just say a HUGE thank you again for all your help! I took him to the vets yesterday and they gave him a beak trim (he looks very handsome) and prescribed some eye drops to be administered twice daily. Vet also gave me some great advice about enclosures and bulbs. I get paid...

    Just as a final question to quell my worries before the vet, will his eye go back to normal on its own? I’m really terrified I’ve permanently hurt him with that bulb :(

    That’s so terrible. I don’t understand how someone could put profits over the welfare of a living thing:(

    I’m also going to buy him some food that’s high in vitamin A today. I do supplement with calci dust and vitamins but I need to integrate more vitamin rich foods. I’m very much a beginner and trying to learn where I can x

    Hi there, thank you for taking the time to type all that out - I greatly appreciate it. He’s a Herman’s I believe (I adopted him only recently). Around 5 years old. I’ve attached photos of the enclosure. I want to eventually upgrade him to a larger table but this is what he came with and I...

    Hi there, thank you for your reply. I just adopted him a couple months ago - I’ve tried to introduce cuttlebones and cuttlebone discs to his enclosure but he won’t touch them - is there anything else I can do? In terms of his eye, it seems to be that the pupil is almost “stuck” in the left hand...
