    Hygiene Disinfectant.

    I've used hot water to clean but was not sure if that was good enough to keep the table, hide, slates all good from bacteria etc. So really just to keep with Hot water no spray stuff?

    Top Soil

    Hi. I wouldn't trust the top soils in these shops. I asked a similar question and was was suggested coco coir if you are looking for a soil texture & grade. I got the fine coco coir. My tort loves it. Would recommend you look into that.

    Ideas for a new setup!

    This is my setup at the moment @Popcorns17 - This is for my Russian tort. - I even took a picture of the 'Torts' eyeview! haha! Unfortunately my tort was not in the enclosure at the time as he was having his soak. I built up the substrate to make a 'hill' over his hide. He loves it at the moment.

    HELP RT EYE PROBLEM!!!!

    I use this one. Like other comments I would remove what looks like the wood shavings get a basking/uv bulb and for the water get a shallow clay dish so it's easy for them to get in & out if they want too. What diet is your tort on?

    Which type of tortoise?

    Welcome to the forum. I would recommend a Russian horsefield tortoise. When you say you are in the North East do you mean North East, UK?

    Can't have just one :-)

    Hi Yvonne. After looking at it more I believe so too. Being a 'loud' T-Shirt it would be great for the logo to be bigger.
