Hi, Grandpa!
Saw you in a photo from the Tortoise Conference thingy.
Seems you had fun.
But you didn't have a Bud either.
wait!! do we have a face to the tail?
When I was much much younger !wait!! do we have a face to the tail?
Thank you very much for the wonderful idealooking good! i had issues with keeping in heat ( in scotland so cold is an issue). found a sheet of plexi over top (cut out to let the MVB goodness in) worked cheeply and simply. you'll get plenty help and ideas here
Thank you very very much for all this advice
I do keep his water bowl under the heat lamp too so evaporation can happen and I keep his stones moist as they keep the heat in so well
Pleasure.
Just make sure you act on it.
Did you read the care sheets and beginner's mistakes threads ?
Yes I did and I have his uvb and uva lamp coming tomorrow it came yesterday but it was faulty so sent it back for a replacement, only feed him about 4 times a week I mist him day and night and soak him 5 times a week his basking spot is now 34° while his cool zone is 23° I have put two new hides in and a spider plant for him to nibble and hide under he has 2 cut up Cuttle bones in there as well as a more shallow water bowel which is textured for his claws and beakPleasure.

Sounds pretty good.Yes I did and I have his uvb and uva lamp coming tomorrow it came yesterday but it was faulty so sent it back for a replacement, only feed him about 4 times a week I mist him day and night and soak him 5 times a week his basking spot is now 34° while his cool zone is 23° I have put two new hides in and a spider plant for him to nibble and hide under he has 2 cut up Cuttle bones in there as well as a more shallow water bowel which is textured for his claws and beak
Feed him daily. Put food in and if it's gone in the evening, it wasn't enough. They are browsing animals and like to nibble throughout the day.
Oh okay, I just read on various websites to only feed them a few times a week to avoid over feedingSounds pretty good.

As long as they have room to exercise they won't overeat.
Other websites often have old and incorrect info.
This is the only website i use, the information is the latest and many of the members are experts with decades of experience between them.
Thank you very much, I also wanted to ask because I live in London and it's very cold in winter should I put a heat mat under the table just to make sure his cool end isn't too cold
I live in Kent - about 40 miles from you.
No you do not need a heat mat.
Get the lamps correct and that will be enough.
I agree with Joe's Mum.
Heat mats are unnecessary, can dry out your substrate and I don't believe tortoises should be heated from below.
Okay thank you
Thank you x
We've had our Greek for 46 years. My husband was given him when he was 7. He's hibernating right now. There's a lot to learn and it can seem scary, but with care you will be more relaxed in time
I know I've only had my Horsefield about a month now he's only like 1 I'm just so worried about raising him the right way. Luckily I've found this wonderful place!We've had our Greek for 46 years.
