I don't appreciate people getting offensive, I have spoken to my vet and who has given me great advice and told not to use a Vivarium! I have new bulbs on the way and my tortoise is healthy
He only stays there for about an hour at a time then has a walk around and then drinks his water, I'm not happy about using a Vivarium as I know they're not meant for tortoises as I've heard many bad stories, my temperate is correct and I'm happy, I was just enquiring if it needed to be cooler...
I have Pro Tortoise Life Substate which is a mix of soils sand and calcium if they do eat it with a layer of tortoise woodchips which he seems to like, thanks
Sure has confused me reading so many different things! Going to stay on here from now, thankyou so much for your advice! I will purchase a Regular bulb today and as for the Ubv I do have a coil, I am finding it hard to find one that isn't coil?
Can people please tell me what bulbs they use and if they are actually any good?
Need to purchase a new bulb and I need to know what's good and what's not so good!
Thanks very much x
Is this any good ? - Exo Terra SunGlo Tightbeam Bask Spot Lamp S20 75W
Thanks , basking side reaches 80-90C, cool side is at 50C , humidity 50%? I am scared I am doing something wrong but he is in a warm room, and he has been drinking water just not eating much
Hey
I got a baby tortoise 2 days ago! Such a cutie,but I've noticed he isn't eating much? He has had a few nibbles of cress, and that is all? Do I need to be worried ?
Also I have a 60 Watt heat bulb and a 5% UBV , do I need a stronger watt heat bulb or am I alright?
Thanks very much for any...
