So recently the grass in my garden was replaced with stones but this means I will have to put some type of mat down when I set my tortoises outdoor enclosure up as he always tries to eat stones and also I don’t think his little legs would enjoy climbing over them all day. I just need something...
So today as I was soaking him I picked him up so I could use his toothbrush to get dirt out of his crevices and I noticed his plastron was very pink. He is eating normally, waking up and going to sleep at normal times and doesn’t seem ill. He is slightly off but I think it might be because on...
Hi there! So I’ve decided that when I build my boys bigger enclosure I want to make it a vivarium as that will make it easier for me to control the humidity as that’s a priority as he’s developed some pyramiding. He is currently in a vivarium so I plan of just making that one bigger. I will make...

So my two year old Hermann has quite quickly developed this large green mark on the side of his face and I was wondering if it’s anything I should be concerned about? He doesn’t seem unwell or anything apart from the usual winter tiredness.
So I want to decorate the outside of my tortoise vivarium because it doesn’t fit with the rest of my furniture and I was thinking I could just stick these things on. I’m just asking because I know that the wood absorbs heat and stuff and I don’t want to put another layer on if it is going to...
So we are coming into summer now and this will be my first summer with my tortoise and I want to be able to give him as much outdoor time as possible so he can soak up the natural sun rays. However, I do not have enough space currently to build an enclosure that can be there permanently so it...
So I want to change my Hermann tortoise enclosure from a table to a vivarium as this will allow him to have the biggest enclosure for the space I have and will also be safer as we have a dog that doesn’t like him. Though I have done a lot of research I keep getting conflicting answers as to...
