dry tortoise shell?

[Yingg]

For the hydrotherapy, have you tried putting him on a cup or something so his legs don't reach the bottom.

If the basking light is still on, I wouldn't mind soaking him. He has the chance to dry up and get warm.

@Alex and the Redfoot might have recommendations about lighting for plants.

oh okay, let me fill her tub up more.

Are there other foods in his diet with protein in them? Like alfalfa, clover or something like it

no i don't believe so, though i did feed her hibiscus a while back (a lot of it) but stopped recently

 

[Yingg]

can she eat all this (not spinach) i can't find some of them on tortoisetable

Yes, everything listed is fine to feed. However, if it's mostly spinach - then only in moderation. Or with a pinch of calcium powder. I would prefer more chickories (endive, radicchio, frisee) and less common lettuces and spinach.

You may leave spinach in the mix. If she doesn't eat it - fine. If she'll eat some - no problem, it's not toxic.

Oh dear.. this set up sure keeps you on your toeswhat kind? Like little money spiders? We’ve had those, they’re harmless and will die off don’t worry

I think it was an accident egg clutch. They will either die or get away as there is not much food in the enclosure.

it was a daddy long leg i think. I'm scared of them so much, and there's a web in the corner that I don't want to touch... it was big though....

Could your parents help with the eviction?

 

[Littleredfootbigredheart]

I’d love a photo of the intruder in the enclosure btw! Just for my own morbid curiosity

the intruder has passed away and is somewhere in the trashbin sorry

 

[Alex and the Redfoot]

They can appear in the enclosure, however it's not common at all. However, they can be hunting gnats and small flies and that's not bad.

do you think i could maybe... find a way to get rid of them? spray peppermint oil (not directly in the enclosure but rather near it)

 

[Littleredfootbigredheart]

lol fair enough! Honestly now it’s gone I wouldn’t worry, it’s rare they set up camp in there
