Thank you for your lo Thank you for your lovely feedback on that. Sometimes people have been a bit mean about the way he is looking. I’ve got a bath on order so should be coming in next few days but he does have a lid off a tubbaware full of water just behind this photo that seems to be doing...

Thanks for your advice! I will invest in some for him.

What do you suggest for me to use? I’ve read a 50/50 of play sand and topsoil will work well?

I actually dampen it quite often and it is still damp, maybe doesn’t look it in this piccy but it’s definitely not dusty, wouldn’t allow that! he doesn’t eat the soil only his veggies, and refuses to eat any with the gravel on so that’s not an issue. But will be getting a cover soon as, also...

Will post a picture of it when I get home. At the time of this piccy it was hanging off the wood, now it’s solid and In place.

It has a chicken wire top too so if it fell then it wouldn’t burn anything. She is just worried about the plugs blowing up but they don’t even get hot! And it’s very unlikely!

Yeah I will do, she’s stubborn and doesn’t really understand even though she’s loved tortoises all her life! And yeah will let him get used to this one and then change it round. It is way bigger than the one he came in was half the size of this one!!

Hello everyone, I recently rehomed a tort about a week ago. We built him a big table and secured his light on a piece of wood with screws. It’s a ceramic holder. I’m wanting to leave his light on all day during the day so he has the right heat etc but my mum who I live with keeps on wanting to...
