I've had it for like 3 years. Haven't used any of it in over a year cus I forgot about it. Its been kept in its original bag, closed, in our cold/cool garage all this time. Yesterday I took some pellets out and they look fine. Soaked the pellets and they feel/look fine. No weird smell. But...
cute guy, looks like a sulcata to me. Just make sure to keep it at minimum 80F until further action is taken. Cold temps can really hurt them. And make sure any grass/plants it eats have not been treated with chemicals, pesticides etc.
Wondering if it's safe (won't grow harmful bacteria/pathogens) to store my tort's poo water from it's soaks for like 6 months outside to use them later to water my plants/shrubs/dwarf mulberry tree when they start growing again in spring. I might get a large food grade storage tank to store the...
Yup, I can't find a surge protector that's longer than 25'.
Here's my plan for my setup, a heavy duty extension cord and a heavy duty surge protector. Its very overkill, waay too much for the 150-200 watts that will be used throughout the day. But I don't mind spending a little extra to...
I get the feeling that there's no such thing as a 50ft corded length surge protector.
So, if someone knows for sure a safe, tried and tested surge protector with extension cord combination, let me know the exact name of those products you've used. This would be the only option for me if there's...
Does anyone know where to buy online a surge protector with 50ft cord, and like 8 minimum outlets (for a few cameras, too) for my torts summer home which will be like towards the rear of the backyard (can't place it close to house). The longest surge protector I could find has a 25 ft cord which...
I never thought of that..We have a room that we don't really use but the green house in a room would work well. Our room is probably around 12x10 or something. Most of that would be used, just gotta move some things around. Do you have a link to the green house?
We have a bit of a rat problem, they chew through other wooden structures in our yard. I imagine they'd also chew through a resin home.
Wouldn't I be able to keep a steel box warm at all times even during winter by adding several layers of insulation boards and whatnot? Hopefully rats wont chew...

Is it possible to make this work as an outdoor, heated, humid insulated home?
I'm looking to make a permanent outdoor home now for my young female leopard tort. It will be able to go out whenever it wants to eat grass in a...
omg so so both of those things together will make the generator turn on automatically during a power outage?! I had no idea about the whole transfer switch thing. Exactly what I need. Thanks so much.
lol yeah i bought it back from the dead..almost 6 years old and now its filled with new posts. I knew the date of the last post was like 6 years ago before I posted, but I looked at that member's page to see if they're still active, and they are so I went ahead posting expecting a reply.
which generator are you using for your tort?
I'm looking for a small one that automatically turns on in a power outage, and only for my tort. but all of the ones I see are those big, pricey ones that you attach physically to your house or something.
Not sure if what I'm looking for even exists.
Those are some excellent points. I normally do leave some tall grass areas around the middle in it's summer outdoor fenced area, but I'll do the rest as you recommend. Thanks very much.
For outdoor fenced areas your tortoise can roam around and eat grass in. If theres to much grass for the tortoise to eat, what do people do to keep the grass from growing super tall? use a lawn mower? What about the grass that grows along up the side of the fence walls(and yeah it'll have solid...
has to be small holes, like 1/2 inch, strong enough that rodents cant chew through but be able to last underground for several years. Though now im wondering if i should just have the mesh ontop of the grass instead of underground, but then my tortoises feet would always be standing ontop of the...
