I’ll get a new picture posted. He’s not talking to anyone right now after his facial ;-)
I have a silly question. I am feeding him the Critical Care food and saw on the forum that other people have put it in their turtles soaking bowl. Is it true that Tutles absorb food/vitamins through...
Took Rex to the Vet today to get a beak and nail trim. The Vet definitely confirmed he is dehydrated and under weight. She gave me Oxford Carnivore Food to get some weight on him. I am also going to soak him 2-3 times a day 15-20 minutes to get him hydrated. She also suggested chicken to feed...
Made one bone head mistake. When putting everything together I put the basking lamp on the wood cover and got a phone call and stepped away. Burned a hole in the cover. I guess I need supervision 😕
Bought two of these enclosures and attached them side by side. He’s got a lot of room now. Orchid bark substrate. Lighting is almost there. Got a 100W Ceramic Heat light for night time. Thermometers to find the right lighting scheme. Vet appt next week.
What are your suggestion for lighting. I’m thinking I will need two bulbs to cover the whole area. Do you like the one in all bulbs or separate ones for UV and one for heat?
I will. I got fine grade Orchard Bark (no added chemicals, not a mix just bark). The second enclosure is coming and after I get them connected I’ll post pics. I need to get a thermometer to make sure the temp/humidity is right. We have a vet appointment to get a checkup and get his claws trimmed.
Yes we have had him for 18 years. I have twiced the size of the water dish so he can move around in it. Basically a Pyrex baking dish. I am looking for something better though. I’m getting there. Thank you for all your help!
