I read so much and watched nearly every video even those by Kamp Kenan (apparent tortoise expert) and so much of what I learnt is wrong. Kamp said soil, coconut bark, orchid bark and hemp was good for their beds :-(

Thank you so much! That is amazing help. Our house never goes lower than 19°c (66.2°f - kids have asthma and low temps can irritate). I have ordered the solar meter 6.5 and a humidity tester. We let him out on the lawn for an hour if it is not raining, but worry it is too cold here for him...

Omg, why do they sell these things advertised and suitable for tortoises ? Is the Bark okay? Should I just avoid soil completely?

Is this soil any good, or Hemp?? I have a attached a picture of the bark we use to check if this is okay too.

I really appreciate it thank you. I am a little angry at how wrong the seller/breeder is, so all the advice is greatly accepted. I was under the impression they would like the mud given that they like to dig, but will drag it out and have only orchid bark. We have a piece of slate (this is...

I have read that info sheet thank you and I will be making changes. I have ordered a humidity tester and will take out the soil/substrate. I think I am feeding him correctly, it is mainly the light/heat I need to sort out (and quickly). How can I tell if I am getting the right bulb? This...

The gent we bought it off has raised many, so believed him when he said or set up was good. He said to have a mix of the soil (in the image) and orchid bark. We do not feed it to him. We have a tortoise block (calcium, cactus and vegetables) and calcium powder its food which we grow ourselves...

I do not make it eat the su It is 45cm by 80cm

Thank you, I am not used to the acronyms as yet.

I have this type of heat lamp. The bulb has both UVa/b and heat We have it set 12" from the base of the light to the substrate

Can you explain what this means please: The thermostat will keep your CHE or RHP off during these times, but ready to click on after the basking lamp clicks off and the ambient temperature starts to drop too low at night.

Thank you ?

Hello, We gained a little friend last week (kids called it Sheldon), we have done research and decidinwe could care for one, but now I am worried and want to check we are doing everything right. Google keeps contradicting its self, so thought I'd ask fellow tortoise owners. He is the cutest...
