    Outdoor bath/ soak diy

    Haha no I guess she does t NEED to soak every day I guess I would just like to give her fresh water to drink or soak whenever she wanted to that’s all. And when I soak her indoors as I have been doing, the water is usually just a little warmer than it would be outside so was just wondering...

    Outdoor bath/ soak diy

    Hi all, so I’m getting a new house with a garden for my baby and I’m wondering how I can make an outdoor bath for her that I can easily change the water daily and also how to keep it warm too ? Does anyone use heat mats under the bath or tub and how would I make this myself. Can’t find any ideas...

    Best nail cutters

    The front nails are ok as she has filed them down herself by digging but no her beak is not over grown. Just the feet, or mostly the inside nail on both feet. So she can’t walk flat footed.

    Best nail cutters

    Yes I do know her enclosure isn’t what she needs right now and hasn’t been for a while since life problems but I’m in the process of buying a new home for us both where she can have a proper outdoor part where I know her nails will grind down naturally. But in the process of being indoors for a...

    Tiny Bugs In Enclosure

    Hi I also experience these “gnats” you call them. If they are just left without traps how long would it be before they would be overpopulated ? As in how often should I clear the whole enclosure out totally ? Is every year sufficient ?

    Help please ASAP health is failing

    I hardly use any as I’m out training all day and used to work away too. I can only go by what she says and she states it’s got to be the heat and lights that’s caused the increase which is stated to be an extra £170 on top of what she usually pays. I will only know when I get my own home and...

    Help please ASAP health is failing

    In the enclosure Iv made the humidity is rarely past 60% unless I turn the fogger up but I understand that is bad as it’s cold not warm humidity so I don’t often do that. I spray a lot daily. But Iv been in temporary living arrangements for quite a while now and I’m thinking it’s taking it’s...

    Help please ASAP health is failing

    Ok, I think I knew the answer, Iv enquired about the hotel. At the end of the day my sister didn’t choose to have a tortoise, that was my choice, it wasn’t her fault that me and my partner split up and I had to move out. And it does cost a lot to keep a tortoise. But it’s killing me watching her...
