gonna take him out now - it's a bit later on but he'll definitely love the sun, bit tricky being in the uk but luckily it's pretty hot here today!!
thank you so much!
hello, my adult russian's basking light has broken - will he be okay without it for a day? it's hopefully being delivered tomorrow fingers crossed so it'll most likely just be for today.
hi, my torts beak has become quite overgrown in lockdown but the vet he's registered at are still shut for problems that aren't emergencies and most places where i live don't take tortoises. he's still eating just fine and it doesn't seem to be affecting him - will it be okay until i can get him...
thank you for this information - you lot are great. i think i'm just being paranoid with the move and by feel it is just damp come to mention it, thank you for the relief! it is sticking to him a lot though, is this normal? he's a right mess but i'm pretty sure that's just how it is with...
my boys 11! i've been told so much contradicted information about keeping it humid - what would you recommend? also i'm paranoid about it getting cooler for the night and it being wet, will that not make it even colder? apologies if i sound silly asking things like this - just want to be sure...
hi everyone, we've moved house today and we have changed my torts substrate to the zoomed coconut fiber (from the bricks), but made the mistake of not preparing it sooner. we've tried to let it dry out as much as possible but it's still really damp and the glass doors of our vivarium are getting...
hi everyone, i've recently bought some ecoearth blocks for my 11 year old russians enclosure - do i need to soak it first? i don't think i should but i just wanted to double check in case i'm wrong. thank you!
thank you! and yes it's the angle of the picture - it's very long, would be great if it was a big bigger the other way but there is plenty of space for him. also loves coming out whenever the sun does too! thank you for the concern.
hi everyone - this is the water dish i have in my 11 year old russians tank, we got it so he could actually be in the dish whilst he drinks and apologies for the quality of the picture but the substrate is stacked up around it so it's secure. is this okay for him? i saw about high humidity and...
thank you for all of this information!! it's all great. if we do go ahead they'll be in separate enclosures anyway, just wanted to make sure that even that is okay. thank you again - i'm sure others will find all of that helpful too! interesting stuff.
hi everyone, i'm looking into getting a gecko or chameleon etc and the only place best to keep it would be above my tortoises enclosure - it's a wooden tank and the two animals would never come into contact. would this be okay? they'd never see each other either i just wanted to make sure this...
just a thought - do you think it would be alright with half covered half open? or say one side partly covered with netting or something on a hinge that we can open to get to him? would that keep the heat in better? sorry for all of the questions we just want to do what's best - and we've had...
we would love to build an outdoor enclosure but where i live it's way too cold, on hotter days we take him out for a run around on the grass but that's all we can offer unfortunately. i'm not sure of the exact measurements of his tank but we got it from specialists so i know it's the right...
hi everyone, my grandad is going to custom build an open top table for my 11 year old russian tort - is this good for them? will the heat stay in alright with the open top? if anyone has any advice at all on building the table, what to use, if it'll even do him any better having an open top -...
