Hi Guys I just wanted to know what you guys are feeding leopard tortoises... I mix grass and some hay with kale and now and then some romaine lettuce or grated zucchini what other ideas are there to spice it up for my lil guy?
Please share so I can try for my Loki
I moved him onto reptile bark yesterday he was on soil before... lights I had a normal 65 watt flood from the hardware but I think it's too harsh so I put it off
Hi Guys
I noticed Loki's eyes look rather white around is that normal or are they swollen and am I doing something wrong...
This is straight after his soak now
Thanks so much... Loki gets sun twice a week for around 2 to 3 hours... so I thought it was too less and was stressing that he needed more UVB so went to buy one.
Will look at the hardware for the florescent and the flood light for basking
Thank you
Hi guys I would really appreciate some help please... I am looking to get a UVB for my tortoise as he no longer can go out as the weather is changing so I'm moving him into his enclosed indoor reptile cage.
I went to the pet store but they showing me both the florescent and the bulb.
Which...
Hi Guys
Just a quick question I noticed ants in my indoor enclosure for Loki they seem to be tiny black ants I'm just wondering if they would harm him?
He has soil and plants in the enclosure and I think that may be what's attracting the ants... they are coming in through the open window...
Hi Yvonne thank you so much for replying to me... I just want to find out does a certain part of the enclosure need to be covered or the whole thing? Should I leave that section covered all the time or should I remove it from time to time... sorry to nag just a new mum
Thanks so much will definitely try that..
I'm just a new tort mum so get stressed when I feel like he isnt okay esp since he is not like a cat or dog that can show distress via sounds I guess I have to learn the other signals...
Hi guys I just wanted to find out I soak my leopard tortoise Loki every day for between 20 to 30 minutes however I notice he doesnt enjoy it much he keeps trying to get out and scratching at the sides.
I am afraid he is going to hurt his beak... is this normal or am I doing something wrong?how...
He lives indoors most of the time this is the table that we built for him.. he doesnt eat much of what I leave out for him so I planted plants that are edible and not harmful to him... I did move the table outside so he can get some natural sunshine for the day but I live inland so the climate...
The outside temperature is 22... sorry I should have been more specific... My indoor temperature where the tortoise is kept is between 27 to 28 degrees.... should I put foil over and put afew sprays of water?
Hi guys... please can some one advise me on how to create some humidity for my baby leopard in his enclosure? I have a ceramic heating lamp that is 25 watts and I live inland so the climate is dry and the temperature at the moment Is around 22 degrees Celsius...
