Milly's Best Moments

[LeopardTortLover]

This is a video I made for a project at university. I had to document every day life so I chose to make it around my tortoise. So I just thought I'd share it with you all

NOTE: she does fall quite a lot in this video, but I do help her back up if she can't right herself. I'm not cruel!

Hi Laura:

Cute video. It shows just how active a baby tortoise is. One thing I think Millie would benefit from would be to get rid of the sand (?) in the habitat and give her a substrate you can moisten. I don't know what you have in the UK available to you, but we use coco coir or cypress mulch, or even garden soil if its free of chemicals.

Very cute tortoise and looks quite healthy.

I should have mentioned this in my post. Some videos are from VERY early on when I first got her and before I joined this forum.

Since joining and learning more about her she is kept differently. She's now on moistened coco coir and moistened sphagnum moss in her hide. And on a diet of hay, grass and weeds rather than lettuce. She has a UVB heat lamp and a humid enclosure.

Thanks for the advice though! its appreciated.
