    Enclosure top

    That's crap. I've always thought if it's your property you should do what you want. If I want razor wire at the top of a 10 foot fence that should be legal. Once I bought a house a was really disappointed in a part the American dream. I had a neighbor call the cops because of the number of...

    Is he losing scales?

    I'm not sure could just be this way. I don't really look at the back upper part of his rear legs often. This just looked like a lot were rubbed off. He has been much more active with the warm weather and getting outside time.

What kind of light, what wattage of light, do the Torts ever get outdoor time, how tall are they at this point, how long do...

    Tips to get a Tortoise to use a Nightbox

    Tips to get a Tortoise to use a Nightbox

    I am by no means an expert like Tom or Yvonne, but here are my thoughts. At night some critters depending on your area come out that could hurt the tort not very likely plus it could happen during the day as well. My biggest reason for locking him up at night is to do my 3rd check of the day. I...

    Tips to get a Tortoise to use a Nightbox

    True. I was just thinking he learned where the food dish is and the heat lamp inside, so teaching him where heat and food is outside shouldn't be that hard. Boy was I wrong.
