Hi, thank you I will leave their claws as they are for now I do have a vet that I've asked as well. My set up is UVA basking lamp which I have on for 12 hours a day, a UVB bulb for 5 hours a day and average temp is 26-32 throughout the day with 65-80% humidity. Temp at night is normally around...

Hi there, I've been told that my baby tortoise needs their claws trimmed, they are only 9/10 months old. I do have slate in the enclosure which my tortoise loves to lay on and bask under the lamp. Is there anything else I need to do to help with the claws or is this normal for young Hermanns...

He is a cutie! Okay, thank you 😊

Hello! Is some able to advise on what I can use as a lid on this enclosure to ensure the humidity is kept consistent through the night. Thanks!

Afternoon! I have a little bowl buried in the soil, he seems pretty happy and has plants that can provide shade. The soil is just old compost which is chemical free and I had mixed some coco coir in with it. My garden is a bit of a sun trap so hopefully will provide the tort with some healthy...

Hi, Thank you for your response. I took the photo in the morning but that spot tends to get a good few hours of sun through the day. The plants are safe, I have checked them. Thank you

Thanks 😊

Hi Alex, is my young tortoise safe in my garden? I have a concrete bed and have put a chicken run (top cover not shown in photo) on it to prevent any predators getting to Shelly. Seeing as the sun is gradually coming out in the UK just want to make sure my little guy is safe as can be. Ive...

Thank you! I have some fine bark arriving today with some coco coir to mix in with 😊

Great, thanks!

Sorry, me again! Just a quick question, if I purchase the UVB kit, is there an option to have this on the side of the open table for my tortoise? https://www.reptiles.swelluk.com/arcadia-prot5-uvb-kit-desert-12#prot5-kit-12-24w I have attached a photo of my current setup, I was thinking of...

That's really helpful, thank you so much

Thanks Alex. I think the Arcadia Solar Basking Lamp would be best suited for me. I am pulling some bits together to purchase, if I add the links to each product can you just advise me that I'm on the right page with this please? Basking light...

Sorry, also would I go for the Arcadia LumenIZE Pro T5 UVB Kit, D3+ Desert, 12% UVB 54 watt (this is as high as I can find)?

Hi, Thank you. So if I purchase the ProT5 kit, what will I need for the other three elements? I'm new to this so please explain like I'm 5!

That's really useful, thank you

Hi Tom, I have read through again - with the bulbs, can you suggest which wattage i need? Also, the setup I have currently only supports a screw bulb, not a tube. Thanks

I can see that they do a Premium Orchard Bark Fine, would this be best suited for a young tort?

Hi and thank you, there is a shallow soaking pool for the tortoise and I also soak daily in a dish. Will look to change the substrate, thanks

Thank you! If possible, could you send me a link to the orchard and fir bark you speak of?
