Hello everyone, my name is Nolyn and I have an almost year-old Hermanns tort, his name is Titan. I was wondering if there was any sort of interaction or anything I can do to help exercise or be with my little guy more instead of letting him crawl alone all by himself in his pens. I also wondered if torts ever like it when they have a companion or a buddy, such as another tort. Any input you have about interaction or torts being with other torts would be great. Another one of my thoughts is if I was to get another tort to let them interact and just to have another, does the same breed have an effect?
Another one of my questions is when I looked at him after he got done eating his mix of kale and mustard greens, he had green film or "stuff" around his mouth and beak. I really don't like saying stuff but. I assume that is just from the greens that he ate. Will that come off when he gets his soak tomorrow?
My last question is what do you guys think about putting plants in the encloser? He is in a 50-gallon tub with a mix of a little repti bark and coconut coir. What about store-bought plants, can they be added straight to the encloser or do they need special preparation? And what plants to you recommend for an enclosure? Any and all feedback is great.
