I’ve been overwintering my marginated tortoise since I got him in April 2020, however I think I’ve not adapted his indoor enclosure enough.
Can anyone run through the changes I need to make to temp and UV over the winter months?
I’m in the UK and he’s in his indoor glass door enclosure 24/7...
Should this be around 75 degrees?
I have a UV light on in the day around 90 degrees and a (sorry not sure what it’s called) heat lamp with no light on during the evening.
I think we have it too cold overnight as I have a tortoise that’s sleeping a lot.
We’ve had an issue recently with my 3 year old marginated tortoise and a prolapse penis, which we seem to sporadically solve (by using a cotton bud to gently push it back in) but it keeps on happening and I think it’s his tail.
Two photos below show it as it should be and then a minute later...
Hi All
It seems my 3 year old Marginated tortoise once flashed a bit too hard and now has a penis prolapse and needs to see a Vet. Any recommendations for any in the Northamptonshire or Midlands area? I have one recommendation for Craig @ Chine House in Loughborough but ideally looking for one...
