Hello all! Hoping someone might be able to identify these two plants and advise if they at all any good for my tortoise to eat and have around his enclosure? Thank you for all your help in advance!

Hey, My tort so far has only needed the heat light on through the day as in the UK we have had some warm weather. However this disappears quick and it is never guaranteed and never for long! I’ve been lucky so far! My question is I know that they need the stimulation of light hours and dark...

Game on

Thank you so much this is really reassuring! I’m away for two nights but 3 whole days. Would you put all the food down before leaving? Will it be good enough, my tortoise doesn’t really like his pellets so only eats greens.

My tortoise will be a year old when I have plans to be away from home for a two nights. I’m so scared I’ve had this planned before I got him and leaving him with someone who’s not had a tortoise before is daunting. They will be in charge of looking after him for two days. Normally I bath my...

Hello, there is a hide in the corner which has since been moved as the little mite likes to climb up it! The place I got it from only had fake plants and so this weekend I am going to see if I can get some live plants instead. I have also since uploading these photos added a plant to one of the...

Death Star

I will have to take some photos this evening as I haven’t taken any since the weekend. I have ordered a humidity monitor that’s due to be with my by the end of the week. The temp is set to reach 30 degrees under the basking light as this was recommended when I got my tortoise at the weekend. I...

Thank you so much, I guessed that as a young tort it wouldn’t be active all day but don’t want to mistake what I think to be a healthy growing baby for a not very well tort!

Hello everyone, Just was looking for some advice on my leopard tortoise. I have had my tort for a week on Saturday. He/she is 10 months old now. I have noticed since being home we seem to be active late morning after I have gone to work and then at lunch time when I come back to check on...

Yes this is enclosed, they advised this size for the time being but not for too long as it’ll soon begin to put grow its home! I am waiting for some hooks to attach the sensor to the side so it doesn’t hang so much at all but will move further down too. I also wondered what kind of...

Hey all, So I brought my new tortoise today and have set the vivarium up to how the store advised. Just wondered if I could get your opinions and if there needs to be any tweaks to what I’ve done? Little tortoise seems to have settled in well straight away and has already eaten and taken a...

Ah of course that makes a lot of sense I had seen that a leopard isn’t a tort that hibernates which is why I thought about maybe a hermann instead although the thought of hibernating my tort feels a little worrying!

Hey! Thanks for your response this is great help. I’m going to see at the weekend but I’m looking. For either a Hermann or a Leopard!

Hello all, I live in the UK and am about to get a tortoise this weekend after months of research and previously having one in the family. I understand that the care and requirements has developed considerably since the last tort and wondered if I could have some tips about what I should buy...
