Hi
I wondered if anyone could give me some advice.I get my leopard tortoise home tomorrow which Im going to get either a one year old or a 2 and half year old.I have been getting the table ready, which I have a sandy area and a sandy/soily area. Also I have a about 50% of the table with top soil which I have just planted some grass seeds, these seeds are lyin on top of the soil still, will it be ok to put my tortoise in this table tomorow before the grass has grown as he may eat the seeds?
Any other recommendations for my table?I may also get a small substrate area. I have a lamp which gives off heat and UV light, but was planning on getting a ceramic heat emitter and a thermostat so it can be turned off when the temperature is reached with a separate UV lamp on a 12hour timer to create day/night, is that correct for lighting and heat?
I was going to feed him dandelions and fresh grass to start and lettuce until the weeds and grass inside the tabel grows.Any advice will be appreciated thanks.
