    What can I put down on ground to protect tortoise from stones?

    I have absolutely no where in my garden now with natural substrate that’s why I’m pretty desperate for some type of mat. I will try and have a look for that!

    What can I put down on ground to protect tortoise from stones?

    So recently the grass in my garden was replaced with stones but this means I will have to put some type of mat down when I set my tortoises outdoor enclosure up as he always tries to eat stones and also I don’t think his little legs would enjoy climbing over them all day. I just need something...

    Septicaemia pink or growth spurt pink?

    So today as I was soaking him I picked him up so I could use his toothbrush to get dirt out of his crevices and I noticed his plastron was very pink. He is eating normally, waking up and going to sleep at normal times and doesn’t seem ill. He is slightly off but I think it might be because on...

    Very short term enclosure ideas? <3

    Hi there! So I’ve decided that when I build my boys bigger enclosure I want to make it a vivarium as that will make it easier for me to control the humidity as that’s a priority as he’s developed some pyramiding. He is currently in a vivarium so I plan of just making that one bigger. I will make...

    What’s this on tortoises plastron?

    I can’t think of anything that would scrape him in that particular way. He’s a 2 year old Hermann and I currently keep him in a 115 x 49cm vivarium however I will be upgrading very soon to hopefully a 180 x 65cm table.

    Starving tortoise for two days a week to stop pyramiding worsening.

    Also what is your opinion on multiple levels on an enclosure? Like if I put one on top of the other and built a ramp so he has double the floor space.

    Starving tortoise for two days a week to stop pyramiding worsening.

    Thankyou so much for all the info and I will definitely take all of it and make the changes needed! I think the first thing I will need to do is get him a bigger enclosure and I will make it as big as possible which should be slightly bigger then the measurements you gave me. I just wanted to...

    Starving tortoise for two days a week to stop pyramiding worsening.

    I have just checked and I am using the correct lights. Everywhere i read there is always conflicting info and I don’t know who to believe. So I shouldn’t be starving him for two days a week at all? Also how does pyramiding not harm them? I thought it messed up their spines and lungs. And...

    Starving tortoise for two days a week to stop pyramiding worsening.

    His humidity has been fine for as long as I can remember. And I have started to soak him everyday instead of once a week. Do you think he will be okay? I really wouldn’t be able to cope if anything happened to him

    Starving tortoise for two days a week to stop pyramiding worsening.

    So lately my two year old Hermann has started to be pyramiding quite quickly. He already had a bit of pyramiding when I got him at 1 year old as his previous owner had no idea how to care for a tortoise but it’s noticeably been getting more bad lately. Of course I started going through the list...
