    Tortoise not eating greens

    Ok thanks. They are gaining weight so the breeder has said that’s good…they just literally push away the greens like a toddler haha. So just didn’t know if I was doing something wrong and should do something different.

    Tortoise not eating greens

    I got a red footed cherry head tortoise 3 months ago from a local small breeder. It was born in June. Since I got it, I struggle to get it to eat greens. I mix other things within the greens to try to entice them and they eat around it and only eat a few pieces if I am lucky. I have had best...

    Enclosure advice needed

    Tom, with glass enclosures…since most come with mesh tops, do you know of a solution to retain the humidity in easier? I have put plexi glass on the front half and foil on the back half in between the CHE lamps.

    The front part we have put plexi glass on top of the mesh and foil on the back. I haven’t found a way to make or buy something that would make it totally closed.

    Enclosure advice needed

    Yes, I have a UVB strip that is the length of the enclosure. I will have to verify the % of it to make sure I have the best kind. I originally had a heat bulb but removed that after the breeder saw and advised for just the CHE bulbs. Just don’t know how to keep the heat in. Now that I have the...

    Heat and humidity both. I can keep it around 80 during the day in the areas away from the CHE bulbs. If I changed them to 100 watt from 60 watt should that help the heat in the outlying areas? I have a thermostat controller on the CHE bulbs for 92 so right underneath them it is warmer but the...

    I do have coconut coir in there now. I was pouring warm water around and mixing it up some days, so I will make sure to just do the corners. Good idea!

    I do have CHE right now, two of them in those deep domes. But they are 60 watt, so maybe I need a higher wattage.

    Enclosure advice needed

    A few weeks ago we got a Brazilian Cherryhead red footed tortoise, but we are first timers and learning. It was born 6/3/2022. I bought a larger enclosure for it so it will last it a couple of years before we transition them outside. I have looked through threads for hours and figured it was...

    Sulcata enclosure

    What do you use past the 9 months? I would prefer to get what they need for the 2+ years from the get go. Or is something bigger not ok when they are babies? Thank you for the info!!
