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 and the type of care I should provide. Things they don’t always tell you on the internet!
Some answers I couldn’t find to my questions were things like, do they have to have yearly check ups or vaccines at the vets, what should my initial ‘set up’ include like the types of bulbs, how powerful should the wattage be?
Any other tips you have to help settle in your torts would be appreciated too!
