    Tortoise left outside overnight and health questions.

    She’s in her new home and shes loving it. She has gotten soil all over her food though so ignore the mess in the photos haha

    will do! We just need to fit the glass doors in and then move it in! I am struggling with getting Rhiannon to eat her new food though. I’ve mixed it with her old salads which were too protein high and shes managed to pick all the leaves out of her new mix of food 🤦‍♀️. Any advice on what to do?

    Heres a over due update for Rhiannon. I’ve fixed the substrate to coco coir with orchid bark and her new diet consists of both dried and home grown weeds and grasses with weekly calcium dust as-well as an online bought botanical topper. We have almost finished building her new vivarium where we...

    I actually currently have D3 calcium powder for her. She gets it every couple days. I’ll have a look at terracotta. I’ve been told to use slate for feeding for beak trims though. Will update the list once i’ve found the correct things! Happy birthday by the way, hope youre having an amazing day

    I really should’ve thought of that! The larger ones were for walking and the smaller ones were for the water dish as i’d seen it in many tortoise enclosures. Thank you for letting me know. I’ll have a look for the bulb now. Edit: I’ve added the correct UVB and larger stones.

    I’ve seen some outdoor enclosures recently and have been considering making one actually! I do worry about UV as where i live has a very low uv index however she gets her time outdoors so hopefully it is okay. Heres the list for now, i’ll be adding things later on such a plant decor and hides...

    A quick update and a few questions I’m still in the process of saving up money to build or buy the new enclosure for her. Space wise, i’m tempted to get rid of my set of draws and get a viv around 7ft in length and around 3-4ft in width. Then stand my tv and xbox on it. They never get used with...

    i’ll definitely take a look at the coir then. My only issue is i have not a clue the right way to setup a uv tube and what to hook lights on however im sure my dad will help with that. I’m hoping if i pay for everything he’ll help as its not coming out of his pocket 🤷‍♀️

    Quick update to all those interested. I have filled my dad in on my plan for a bigger indoor area and i believe i will get some help. He is very ignorant when it comes to stuff like this so this is a lot more exciting for me than it likely is for you. This means that roaming space will come...

    Yes lack of roaming room needs to be addressed so whilst im making dietry and lighting changes i am saving up to make a better space for her. Gonna DIY a bookshelf into a table. Roaming space as of now will be a lot of outside time until everything is sorted which will hopefully be sooner than...

    Oh lord thats quite scary. Is there anything i can do to further prevent it worsening or are my planned changes enough? These photos arent in day lighting as there’s no sunlight where i am, i hope that is okay.

    I’ve attached some photos a couple seconds ago hopefully in better daylight lighting with many angles. Let me know if anything else is needed

    Yeah she struggles a lot to break her food to swallow it and she struggles to eat, some days i have to resort to hand feeding.

    That make’s perfect sense thank you. Im honestly very surprised little Rhiannon doesn’t have bad pyramiding due to past mistakes. I believe there is a bit though. How would you say she looks health wise? Sorry for the question overload, my adhd is hyperfixated on getting all the information asap!
