hello all,
This will be a redundant question and I have read up on here and online but my head is dizzy from differing opinions. I have two desert tortoises who are 3 months old now.
Glass tanks- yes or no? Ive read arguments for both. They are in a glass tank now. I read somewhere that to keep them in a glass tank will kill them. I bought 2 zoomed wooden enclosures. Do I transfer there or keep inglass? And if in thezoomed box, heat where? Not over wood
od. Heating pad?
Substrate- coconut coir? Will babies this young eat it?i have them on paper towels over zoo med pads, the carpet like flooring.
Moisture- I was told to keep them dry because they are desert tortoises and moisture is for other species, I read here and see examples of tanks
kept very moist with lids and cloths ..
I have more questions but my typing is disappearing! Thank you!
