    Best hay for leopard tort and where to buy in canada?

    I've been feeding my tort timothy and orchard grass hay (Oxbow brand), so far it seems she prefers timothy, but I haven't exactly been giving much orchard so maybe she's not used to it yet. What do leopard tort owners here find which type of hay their tort likes best? And for canada, wheres a...

    where to buy 100 watt incandescent flood bulb?

    In canada these are very hard to find. I think in the US they've banned the production or something of incandescents...so stupid. (LED's are really harmful for humans but that's what they want). Where's a good place (online) where I can order a bunch of 100W (or a bit below) incandescent lights...

    Price for female leopard tortoise

    How much would a 5.5 year old female leopard tortoise in Canada cost? (See attached pic. Her shell is smoother than other leopard torts here of similar age) In Canada, torts are much more rare and expensive than in the US. A hatchling leopard tort costs $500-600 in Canada. I forgot what type of...

    safe to feed 3 year old Mazuri tortoise food stored in cold garage?

    I've had it for like 3 years. Haven't used any of it in over a year cus I forgot about it. Its been kept in its original bag, closed, in our cold/cool garage all this time. Yesterday I took some pellets out and they look fine. Soaked the pellets and they feel/look fine. No weird smell. But...

    Found a tortoise need help identify what tortoise it is

    cute guy, looks like a sulcata to me. Just make sure to keep it at minimum 80F until further action is taken. Cold temps can really hurt them. And make sure any grass/plants it eats have not been treated with chemicals, pesticides etc.

    How long can you store tortoise poo water outside for?

    Wondering if it's safe (won't grow harmful bacteria/pathogens) to store my tort's poo water from it's soaks for like 6 months outside to use them later to water my plants/shrubs/dwarf mulberry tree when they start growing again in spring. I might get a large food grade storage tank to store the...

    surge protector with 50ft cord?

    Yup, I can't find a surge protector that's longer than 25'. Here's my plan for my setup, a heavy duty extension cord and a heavy duty surge protector. Its very overkill, waay too much for the 150-200 watts that will be used throughout the day. But I don't mind spending a little extra to...

    surge protector with 50ft cord?

    I get the feeling that there's no such thing as a 50ft corded length surge protector. So, if someone knows for sure a safe, tried and tested surge protector with extension cord combination, let me know the exact name of those products you've used. This would be the only option for me if there's...

    Does anyone know where to buy online a surge protector with 50ft cord, and like 8 minimum outlets (for a few cameras, too) for my torts summer home which will be like towards the rear of the backyard (can't place it close to house). The longest surge protector I could find has a 25 ft cord which...

    Galvanized steel deck box for outdoor home?

    I never thought of that..We have a room that we don't really use but the green house in a room would work well. Our room is probably around 12x10 or something. Most of that would be used, just gotta move some things around. Do you have a link to the green house?

    Galvanized steel deck box for outdoor home?

    We have a bit of a rat problem, they chew through other wooden structures in our yard. I imagine they'd also chew through a resin home. Wouldn't I be able to keep a steel box warm at all times even during winter by adding several layers of insulation boards and whatnot? Hopefully rats wont chew...

    Galvanized steel deck box for outdoor home?

    https://arrow-sheds.shelterlogic.ca/spacemakerr-deck-box-anthracite Is it possible to make this work as an outdoor, heated, humid insulated home? I'm looking to make a permanent outdoor home now for my young female leopard tort. It will be able to go out whenever it wants to eat grass in a...
