Great thank you! I just finished soaking him and he actually seems pretty good. Thanks for your reply. I will increase his daylight hours. Our clocks go forward at the end of this month so I will be very interested to see how that affects him. I will definitely consider burnating him next...
Back again about Rocket! Despite all the changes and constant temps of 95 under basking lamp and 72 in shaded area (humidity runs at about 75 in shaded end) he only comes out of sleeping area to eat and then immediately goes back to sleep. He isn’t warming himself up at all. I have to wake him...
One quick question about food for our Have got lots of bad information. Could somebody provide me with a definitive list of what he should be eating and obviously I will play around with it to find the stuff that he likes the most but I want to make absolutely sure that he’s getting exactly what...

Thank you for this information. My whole tortoise set up is wrong. What is the ideal diet for a herman tortoise? What substrate shoild I be using? What kind of lamp? Should I use a heat pad? My tortoise is in an open top enclosure as he out grew the terrarium. Seems like we should put him back...

I will add a photo of his enclosure.
I am not sure of the temp but will check. Should the whole enclosure be the same or a little cooler than the basking area, apart from shaded area?
Also, not sure about humidity. Should I be spraying enclosure every...
