Hello,
I got a 2 horsefield tortoises 3 weeks ago. One is putting on weight and doing really well. The other is smaller, not eating a lot and has lost weight. How can I make him put on weight?? I have a basking light on the 10-11 hours per day at 34c and at night I have a heat mat under their sleeping area. I wake them up at 7.30am, bath them for 10-15 mins then feed them everyday.
I have read into the humidity and for horsefield they should have a dry flooring? Am I doing anything wrong or can I do anything better?? I really want to have happy healthy tortoises
Thanks
