    Indoor greenhouse for tortoise

    I think that is a great idea and is used lots in the UK. I would definitely add something so that the Tort cant see out otherwise it may end up ripping the plastic with its claws. Maybe a wooden border around the inside. The biggest issue in the UK when they are outside is, they get too damn...

    My outside enclosure!

    That’s really a lovely size for your tort. Try putting some stuff in there to break up the line of sight.

    My outside enclosure!

    You can still build something great for your tortoise in the UK. I’m in the UK and I have a large outdoor enclosure, you just need either a small heated box or some kind of cold frame. My cold frame was in the corner of the enclosure that got the first sun and it was remarkably hot inside.

    The Best Way To Raise A Sulcata, Leopard, Or Star Tortoise

    I completely agree with you about not finding a well started baby. I have looked at many "breeder" adds and they are all on "Pets at home" substrate, or some other completely inappropriate bedding and the tortoises look dry!! I am not going to rush this, I learnt my lesson with my last tort...

    The Best Way To Raise A Sulcata, Leopard, Or Star Tortoise

    Thanks for taking the time to write this Tom. Here in the UK pretty much all of the people I have spoken to about Sulcatas have told me they need dry conditions. There is a particular website in the UK who I wont mention, but I got barred for merely suggesting that somebody needed to keep...

    Found this little fella!!!

    Yes I agree I think you have a male russian there. His beak looks like it needs trimming too it’s quite overgrown. He looks like he’s been Outside a while, his shell looks worn and rugged. Maybe put some signs up to see if anyone has lost their tortoise.

    Thoughts on new russian burying itself constantly?

    I think they are the same thing. Hopefully someone else will come in and confirm but I’m pretty sure they are the same thing. Tube lights are so much better

    Thoughts on new russian burying itself constantly?

    Ok I think I see what your problem is here. That UVB coil bulb you are using is BAD. They cause eye problems for tortoises, so it could be that your baby is trying to escape it. You need to get rid of that asap. Try and get either a T8 12% tube or the best is a T5 HO tube but they are strong...

    Ok I’ve saved the browser as a favourite and while it’s slightly more awkward than the app for me, it is actually functional!

    Haha it don’t feel like a fun age Cathie, I feel 21 in my mind but my body feels about 61 at times. I’m going to embrace this and try and set it up on my phone today. I have used the browser once or twice before so let’s give it a go.

    Haha I’m not young either I’m 37 I don’t have time to sit around on a computer viewing the forum. Mine is always done on the go. I am mainly viewing while I’m travelling on the train to work or in my break. I don’t even have time to watch TV. I’m out from 6am until 7pm so the app was brilliant...

    COLD DARK ROOM

    It will be a nightmare to view it on the browser on the iPhone. I started out that way as I didn’t realise there was an app and it was a pain in the rear. The app was a saviour!
