Hi everyone, I'm about to buy this tortoise table (pictured), however I'm very confused as to how I set up the lights on the arm, and what products I need to buy. (I've heard a reflective lamp is good?) I'm UK based if anyone has any links! I'd greatly appreciate it. My tort is a 10 year old...

thank you for your advice! I'll definitely beef the security up lol <3 Looking forward to having some savings in the bank so I can treat him x

thank you so so so much <3

He’s really only using his viv to sleep in (or on the odd day I’m in the office) until I can afford a proper tortoise table - I hope this is okay ❤️

Thanks so much! That honestly means the world to me - I’m constantly worried about whether im doing an okay job because I really want him to be a happy boye at last ?❤️❤️ I spent last night putting together a lil enclosure behind our house so he can get the natural sunlight whilst I’m in the...

Haha of course! ❤️ his name is Tommy - here’s a pic of his new handsome trim x

Hi everyone. Can I just say a HUGE thank you again for all your help! I took him to the vets yesterday and they gave him a beak trim (he looks very handsome) and prescribed some eye drops to be administered twice daily. Vet also gave me some great advice about enclosures and bulbs. I get paid...

Just as a final question to quell my worries before the vet, will his eye go back to normal on its own? I’m really terrified I’ve permanently hurt him with that bulb :(

That’s so terrible. I don’t understand how someone could put profits over the welfare of a living thing:(

Hi everyone. Bulb has been switched off. Will replace with something better. I’ve booked an exotic vet appointment for the morning for a checkup, beak trim, and treatment for the eye. Thank you all so so so much for your help. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. As a new tort mum I’m...

Oh my god I had no idea these bulbs were so bad! It was sold as a “reptile bulb” :( I also feel so guilty about the bulb placement - ive switched it off and will sort it out immediately! Thank you so so SO much for your help and info!

I’m also going to buy him some food that’s high in vitamin A today. I do supplement with calci dust and vitamins but I need to integrate more vitamin rich foods. I’m very much a beginner and trying to learn where I can x

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to type all that out - I greatly appreciate it. He’s a Herman’s I believe (I adopted him only recently). Around 5 years old. I’ve attached photos of the enclosure. I want to eventually upgrade him to a larger table but this is what he came with and I...

Hi there, thank you for your reply. I just adopted him a couple months ago - I’ve tried to introduce cuttlebones and cuttlebone discs to his enclosure but he won’t touch them - is there anything else I can do? In terms of his eye, it seems to be that the pupil is almost “stuck” in the left hand...

Hi guys, I’m a very new tort owner and don’t know what to do. I noticed my tort’s eye has sort of shifted to the left?? Last night he couldn’t seem to open it after napping also. I’ve attached pics to compare the normal eye to the weird one. I don’t know what to do:( thank you x
