New to the tortoise world, this is Tootsie, he is a Russian tort. He flashed us the other day and we are still trying to recover form the shock LOL course we worry about everything form food to lighting etc his cage is a rabbit type cage so its kind of high, using 2 heat lights to get it warm and the UVB is a coil light, I am pretty sure we need to get a tube type light but how far does it need to be above him to be beneficial?? using Aspen for his bedding which is quite dry, how do we add humidity to the enclosure that is so open on all sides? should we be spritzing water on it? He was peeing a lot of white stuff but that is better, he eats very well and are tyring to vary his greens and such. we live in western NY so too cold to get him outside for natural sunlight, maybe by May! so many more questions but will ask later any advice would be appreciated thanks!
