Hi, I have a redfooted tortoise who is 10cm in length and is apparently 2 years old, to me I think he is either not looked after properly or they just didn't know. I have had him for a week now, and he lives in a 4ft viv with cypress mulch for a substrate. He's also shown some signs of pyramiding.
My questions are...
1) is cypress mulch alright to use on its own?
2) how can I prevent/stop the pyramiding?
3) what is the best lighting/heating to use? I only have what the pet shop gave me which I understand could be a bad idea.
4) I also live in the uk so weather here can sometimes reach to a maximum of 22 degrees Celsius here, I know that's not hot enough for him, but when he does go out side in the summer, how could I keep or get it hotter for him?
Thanks so much for advance
