I met today with a lady that has her first tortoise. Hers is a hamans. I have a Russian. We basically have young tortoises of the same age. She told me that shell size is not an indicator of how much time they should be in the sun outside. She also told me it is a myth that soaking allows a tortoise to rehydrate. I have done some research on this matter and truly believe that torts intake through their cloaca.
she told Mei have the wrong substrate and basically I not only have everything wrong but thatI have chosen the wrong kind of tortoise. She said that the tort I have is really grumpy!
my Beti is lovely and is already starting to come to us.
her enclosure is a tort table. We feed her lots of different tort friendly weeds. She is on tort substrate ( topsoil and sand mix with calcium bits). We have planted aloe Vera and a prayer plant. She likes hiding her head under the prayer plant while she is basking.
can I ask if anything sounds wrong with what I’m doing?
