say hello to yertle. not sure how old he is or what species but he is active. I am feeding him/her dandelion greens (favorite), spinach, butter lettuce, spring mix and honey suckle blossoms on occasion. amazed at how much he/she actually eats.
so I am new to the tortoise world and after a whopping 2 weeks here are my questions:
so I am new to the tortoise world and after a whopping 2 weeks here are my questions:
- how often do you let them "drink"? I researched how they do it which is pretty cool but I am not sure how often I should let them.
- see anything wrong with the meals he/she is getting?
- do you just leave the uvb and heat lamp on 24/7 or should I turn them off occasionally? I keep my house at 77 or 78 degrees so the temp will be fine overnight I assume.
- my niece has one and brought me some calcium powder over. seems to me that spinach is a pretty good source of that as is kale. how often should I put supplements on his/her greens?
