update time! He’s slowly becoming more and more energetic and intrigued by everything. We brang him outside for around 20 minutes yesterday and he loved it so much. Probably will be the only time he’ll be outside till it start warming up. He hadn’t pooed in a day or 2 though but that was quickly...
I’ve got loads of videos but barely any photos and i’ve just found out you can’t upload videos! The first two photos are of him seeing the outside for the first time in my back garden. The other 2 are in the smaller bathing container that i have. The normal one i use is way too big for him and...
the bowls tend to work better for him as i’ve tried a slab and he ends up just pushing all the food off and on to the dirt as he likes to eat the food furthest away from him first. Whist he’s still small enough i’m going to stick to the bowl. Its quite shallow but just keeps all the food from...
My moms just came up with an idea for whilst we are waiting to get everything for him. I wanted to ask for see a more experienced person opinion on this
We have some spare perspex sheets lying around. Could we cover half of the open bit of his enclosure with it obviously leaving the light bit...
well not going to lie i was half expecting to get moaned at and told that everything i was doing is wrong. Tbf i know that I don’t know everything and even if I’d had a tort for for years i’d still be open for improvements as no one knows everything and the whole point of the forums is to help...
oh I didn’t realise there was a bar at the top lol. I will be switching to a UV tube and flood light however i think that will be in the next pay check else it's going to end up quite pricey. Thank you both for all the information and help you’ve given me. Genuinely so thankful as i had no idea...
thank you so much. Is there any good places to buy them in bulk? I’ve see on amazon that they do a pack of 6 650g bricks for £16 and a 5kg(70L) one for the same price. I’m guessing it’s the organic one as well
Also another question sorry, i’ll be buying the coco coir soon and was wondering if i theres anything else i should be buying whilst i’m there. Especially whether i should be buying bedding or substrate wise as i’ve seen loads of good ones that have been recommended on here but theres now too...
Oh thats alot easier than i thought it was going to be! Thank you so much i’ll update when its done. So happy knowing he’s going to be happier and i’m doing better
and seems like it would be so much easier to clean
also i love the look of that portable greenhouse and it seems amazing. I’d love to buy one but i’m not sure it that would be best fit for the set up i have as the light is on an upright wooden pannel. I’ve take a photo of it in a second to show you and see what you think
i know this is probably going to make me seem a little stupid but if I don’t ask I won’t know. How would that react with the wooden enclosure? Would i have to look out for damp or rot in the wood, would i put something underneath the dirt to protect the wood or would it not matter? Want to get...
oh no i’d be so upset to find critters in the dirt! Never heard of coco coir until a few days ago but i’m glad i did it seems that it’s a favourite of everyones I’m surprised I’d never heard of it before
thank you so much. Made me feel very welcomed tbf. I’ve been reading forums the past few days and learned so much new stuff that has really affected how i’m caring for my tort it’s actually quite surprising. I’m only 18 so i’m just trying to do the best that I physically can i suppose
thank you so much i’ll have a look and buy one very soon. Is there anyways to raise the humidity without having to buy a new enclosure straight away as its not something i can afford at the moment
