    Edible flowers - safe?

    Yes I cannot wait until the mallow flowers start to show in the fields again, Lionel absolutely loves them. What torts do you keep?

    Edible flowers - safe?

    Yes he's my little nugget! Thankyou for confirming I will buy a few pansies and others for him and see how we get on. Don't worry I am very strict on what I feed him and always check the tortoise table app first! I never feed him fruit either as he's a russian.

    Edible flowers - safe?

    Hey, yes always on the look out for these two. I just find that most plantain is in the middle of fields etc so is always trampled on and torn. I will keep looking though :)

    Edible flowers - safe?

    Hi all! Although it's now almost the end of April I'm still finding it relatively difficult to find fresh food for my little russian tort. I give him dandelion leaves and flowers in moderation as well as deadnettles which are everywhere at the moment, but mostly the Florettes Classic Crispy...

    I have an Arcadia floodlight 100w keeping the basking zone 95-100f but directly outside basking zone it goes down to low to mid 80s which is where he seems to spend all his time.

    Lighting help please

    Please can I have help regarding new table temperatures. Basking temps are currently 90-100f but rest of the table is only about 65f in the day so would probably drop off again in the night. Too cold!! Please see photo of unfinished table, a humid hide will also be going next to basking area...

    Solar meter model 6.5 or 6.2

    Are these really really necessary? I am all about giving my baby tort the best life possible so will get one if I have to. They are so expensive and can't believe that every tort owner owns one? What level is correct UV?

    Hello and please help...(lighting)

    I quickly changed from similar substrate. I would really recommend changing to Coco coir for your baby russian. Mine loves it! Currently adding a bit of water and mixing it all up every day or two and keeping the humidity around 50-60% throughout the day. Your baby will find burrowing a lot...
