I have dogs and a doggie door sadly. I am going to work on getting something blocked off in my side yard today! I measured everything and I’m going to go look for some fencing. That way they can have a ton of outside space during the day while I figure this all out
My vet told me that it’s not good to move them outside right before the winter. It can cause shock to their systems from it being so cold and rainy. I planned to do it next spring when I can have more time to build it properly. I understand the urgency but I’m doing everything I can in my power...
The person who I got these from was about to let them go in the desert… if I didn’t take them they would be dead, which imo is miles better. I’m going to keep doing better but for now this is all I can do. Thanks for the help
I don’t mean to argue with you cuz you have been a real help and support for me.
They were in a 3 by 1.5 enclosure with the wrong lighting and being fed pellets everyday. 0 humidity. If I didn’t step in who knows if they would even be alive today.. I understand my set up may not be perfect or...
They lived the first 3.5 years of their life in an enclosure that is 3 by 1.5 with the wrong lighting. Upgrading them to the 5 by 2.5 the best I could do for now. They have been together since hatchlings and have no signs of bullying. The long term plan is to move them outside and separate but...
I do take them outside about 2 times per week and they get nature sunlight and grass. Idk if that helps. I try my best to give them a good life I know I might of bit off more than I can chew
Thanks for weighing in Tom! I recently re homed these guys from a horrible situation. I currently don’t have the size backyard that can hold 2 tortoises. Anything I can do in the mean time?
I might have to start looking into rehoming these guys then. I knew I needed to save them from their...
As mentioned above it seems like my sulcatas shells are whitening more than normal.
I rescued these two dinosaurs back in March and instantly upgraded their enclosure. I have a 28? Inch T5 across the enclosure that is now 5 by 2.5. 90-95 degrees in basking with around 80-85 in the rest of the...
I am looking to build my 2.5 year old leopard tortoise an outside enclosure for pretty much permanent living (unless temps get extreme). He is going to be about 4 feet from my ac unit outside that goes on every now and then and is a loud humming. Could this possibly bother my tortoise? Also any...
No this seems to be my problem! I have one of those really nice sprayers from Home Depot that people use weed spray and bug spray in so it does a solid soaking but I’m realizing it’s only getting the surface level which is probably my issue. Thanks to you and Barb I’m going to be actually...
Yeah it was a hard game I was playing cuz when I lowered the light the average temp over everything went up 1-2 degrees ? I could also try raising his lil rock and putting some coco under it as a lil mound that might work
Awesome thank you!! When I get the basking a lil higher the area around it goes above 90 as well? Is that okay? And the warm side gets to 85/86 during the day then.
I can move my Che’s thermostat from 79-82 to 80-83 and I think that will fix that issue
