Marty has enjoyed being outside! More pics, hope you like!

Hi Tom! Thankyou for the warm welcome! I'll reply properly later as out at the moment, but we've got all the recommended items (including the recommended lights), he gets three good soaks a week, we sprinkle calcium on his food twice a week - the only thing we lack is getting him outside enough...

hi mikeh, he's got a good quality UVB light and his shell is actually in good condition! We sprinkle calcium supplement on his food and only give him food from the recommended list. We've also got rid of the rabbit pellets and replaced with coconut coir.

I'm absolutely fascinated by Marty and tortoises! He's such a real character, don't care if people think they're boring pets - they most definitely aren't!

Another pic, hope everyone likes :D

Thanks Reptilelove! He's a huge character! We've got a log and some rocks in his table which he loves climbing up and on. He can only just about manage to climb up the log but looks like he enjoys himself when he does. He enjoys a bath and always seems lively he has had one! He also knows...

Thanks all! I'll keep you up to date with Marty's progress! We're bathing him regularly and only feeding him the recommended food on the care sheet. He enjoys sleeping but when he's awake is lively and loves climbing up and down his logs...walking through them, digging, burrowing, exploring :)...

Thanks for all your advice everyone - duly noted and changing his substrate this week! He's very lively, has definitely settled too :) He's become more confident already.

Does everyone think he looks ok? Shell shape and such like?

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd introduce you all to our new six month old tortoise Marty! He's such a character and we're loving looking after him!
