    Indian Star Tortoise Enclosure (Lights set-up)

    H Hi Tom!! I have pored over your Sulcata, Leopard, and Star Tortoise guide so many times. Thank you!! Hehe. Okay! Will adjust the bulb set-up based on your recommendations. Good idea on the LED globe! Actually, I'm a bit worried since it's really hot in the Philippines. A temperature of 80F...

    Indian Star Tortoise Enclosure (Lights set-up)

    Hi everyone! I have a 45Lx20Wx18H enclosure for my 4-month old Indian Star Tortoise (iSo small! Around 2 inches.) It's mainly a closed chamber enclosure, with two 9x15 vents at the top for some air. I have "lids" to close it. :) May I ask how to set up the lights, which are inside the...

    Chipsi Forest Fresh

    Does anyone have any feedback on using chipsi forest fresh for tortoises? I checked the website to see what kind of wood is used, but they don't specify. Would appreciate any feedback! Thanks!

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    The seller I bought them from repacked it without the label, but I think mine is the 5M21, just based on the size. Maybe it just takes some getting used to. Hopefully! Hehe :)

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    That's so great that opuntia cactus is that nutritious for them! I stocked up on a lot, and thankfully they really enjoy the pads when I lay it out. Hehe. :)

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    Thank you! Will definitely mix it up. I alternate between leafy greens, fruits, and then Mazuri or cat food once a week. Hoping my tortoises will start liking Mazuri though, because that's how I plan to sneak in calcium. Hehe. They didn't care much for it the last time I fed them Mazuri, but...

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    You're so lucky your tortoises eat the worm! Mine just ignored them, so I'm hoping the cuttlebone will entice them. ? Okay, will definitely stop removing the leftover. Was a bit concerned because they wouldn't eat as much of the food that I put out, and would seem to enjoy eating in the...

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    Whew! Thank you, that does relieve me that I can partly disregard the percentages. Much easier to think in terms of variety. ? And yes, will now leave food out. Thank you so much @Toddrickfl1! My tortoises thank you. :)

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    Okay! Thank you so much! Yeah, I couldn't actually categorize it as fruit either. So it really did seem more like a vegetable. I just got so confused since the ratios are always talking about leafy greens, fruits, and protein, but then they have a category for vegetables which they didn't...

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    Oh! yes you're right, I meant the pad. hehe. I read that redfoots should be fed an equal ratio of leafy greens and fruits. Would the pad fall under leafy greens then or fruit? huhu sorry I'm just really confused!

    Prickly pear - fruit or leafy green?

    Hi! I have a redfoot tortoise, and I read that they like prickly pear cactuses. Is this considered a leafy green or a fruit? Don't want to accidentally overfeed it one category. Thank you!
