I just want to know if anyone is breeding pancake tortoises in the Netherlands? I always wanted one, especially since they don't get too big, look funny and are an arid species. I mean, a species that does not need a high humidity upkeep throughout their life.
I can't really find anyone...

I mostly feed his endive, rucola, watercress and...
I don't think that is needed, all I do is one small pinch and mix it together with the greens so it covers all of them a little bit. But hooray, my tort still manages to get it all over his body XD. I just wait for tomorrow if it falls down, otherwise I will try some methods like a damp...
I really didn't give much, just enough to cover the food a little bit but my tort likes to sit on the food/move around a lot so he got all the calcium powder on him. So I gave him a bath but it didn't work
I gave my tortoise some calcium powder on his food and I noticed he got it all over his body. So I just gave him a bath but several minutes later the white from the calcium powder appeared again and I tried washing him again to no avail.
So, I wanted to ask, how do I wash my tort to get rid of...
