It's a good idea to make it look nicer but I was scared he'd have a nibble thinking it was real although the more I watch him and get to know him I don't actually think he would. I have spider plants in mine, in small pots so he can't completely wreck them but gives him something to nibble and...

Hiya that looks nice for him. What cactus plants do you have in there? I want more plants in mine

@grumpytort here you go

I'll tag you into a conversation I had with a very knowledgeable lady so you can have a read of it all

My red bulb is wrong and substrate is wrong

Something very similar to yours...

@Tom do you know what age are they considered to be an adult?

Hiya you sound just like me! I'm a new owner too. How old is yours? I'm confused about what age they become an adult because mine is 2 years old and going off what the internet says he's not far off fully grown really. Do you have a uvb light? I know that is really important. Jennifer

Hiya! I'm new too and new to owning a tortoise. There is so much to learn and s many things they need for their health but I love it so far

Brill .thanks so much!

Couple of other questions, am I supposed to feed him every day? I read a few places advising 5 days out of 7? And if he spends a lot of time in his hide will he still benefit from the uvb light? Because he is completely covered and in darkness in there. Thanks

Thank you so I don't need to do the @ bit too haha thanks

He is 424g

Ok thanks

And I've been giving him a warm bath every few days, he showed me how much he could empty his bowels and urinated all over my rug when I was drying him last night haha

Honestly I've spent ages looking and looking again, I wanted to go for as many green options as possible rather than the orange and most of these seem to be in the weeds/plants section rather than vegetables because surely in moderation doesn't mean I can give these things to him every day but I...

Yes ok thanks. So I need to wet them first?

I have been using the tortoise table a lot for what to feed him its just thay aalot of it doesnt seem available. I am trying to grow some plants from seed on my windowsill for him to give him a bit of variety. Is it ok to go foraging for things like clover and dandelions in the woods? Sorry to...

Hi @JoesMum thank you for your reply. I feel sad that I'm not doing things right for my tortoise after getting so much advice from lots of online sites and also the pet shop where I bought him. It was them that said I should use a red bulb because he won't be able to see it at night but at least...

Hi @JoesMum Somebody told me that you are a really great person to talk to and full of knowledge! I wonder if you can give me some inspiration for what to give woody to eat in these winter months because I'm struggling to give him a good variety and a lot of the plants on the tortoise table I've...
