Im in the uk and I have a horsefield. They do take a lot of looking after so make sure you can make the commitment to them. It's like having a child ha ha
Hey guys thanks for the comments. He seems happier I put more substrate in and a big hollowed out log for him to hide away and varying his diet a bit more.
I'm going to start taking him to my folks when I get chance so he can have time in there garden.
I'm still a nervous wreck with him...
thanks guys appreciate the help.
my dad is coming over tomorrow and fetching me some more substrate so going to give him a good few inches to be burrowing in and some stones and stuff for him to hide under/behind.
also going to get a thermometer to see what temperature the cage is.
thanks...
Thanks guys, hopefully it is just him getting used to his environment.
Also after bathing him what is the best way of dying him, his skin looks very delicate and i am scared of hurting him
Sorry my names Rich and I am from the UK (West Yorkshire).
I thought he was getting used to it as he was starting to bask etc, now he just seems intent on trying to dig through the plastic, I have been home from work three hours and it's all i have heard since i got in scrape scrape scrape :(
Thanks I guess I am just overly worried as he is new to us.
I use the calcium sprinkler, I am also going to get some more substrate this weekend so he can burrow more and also get some logs and rocks in there as well so he can hide.
I am just worried at his constant digging into the plastic...
Hi, me and my girlfriend purchased a Horsfield Tortoise at the weekend, after some serious deliberation and not a whimisical decision. He is about 3-4 years old.
I bought a reasonably large rabbit cage as I opted against a vivarium as not heard great stuff.
It is approx 3.5ft x 1.5/2 ft...
