You should remove it. He’s stressed out by it and isn’t going to stop as long as it’s in his enclosure. Russians are territorial and he thinks it’s another tortoise. had a rock looking hide in my boys table and he did the same thing until he rubbed his tail raw and it bled.
The bulb is a T5-HO. 10 UVB. It’s a Russian tortoise. Age unknown but previous owners had him for 9 years. I’ve had him for 2. Enclosure is uncovered. Walls are around a foot high. Says in hood that instructions were enclosed but nothing in box. Outside instructions only give enclosure...
Hello, does Any one have any ideas how to attach this type of hood to metal stands and what should the height be from the substrate? My table has no top.
