Well i have been doing alot of research lately on breeding tortoises and reading up on neonatal care, and incubation.
Alot of my info came from Madkins Tortoise Library (Thankyou)
I have copied it up hand wrote in my own words in a boook where i keep all of my tortoise details and info etc...
It took me 3hours but was worth it i still have a few questions so please help me.
1. Once you remove your babys from one incubator, do you transfer them to another with substrate etc?
(i read this on tortoise library does everyone do this?)
2. Will the babys need UVB as it is debatable wether or not redfoots need this i dont have one for my juveniles but just wondering if it is needed for a baby?
3. Do i dust there food with calcium?
4. There diet do i give them veg,fruit,weeds,grasses etcd like the adults weekly like the adults..i know no protein till 6months old?
5. Does anyone have any links to setup for hatchling babies as i cant find any?
6. Heating shall i use a red bulb, or a CHE....
7. How big should the hatchling enclosure be?
8. How big are the hatchling when hatched?
9. Does there humidity have to stay high as babies like adults?
Thankyou in advance please help me!
And soory for all the questions!
