I’m just after a little advice please.
Almost 2 weeks ago we got a baby Hermann tortoise .
Flash is doing really well she (I’ve decided to call her a she till I know otherwise) is eating really well she likes wandering around her house exploring the only thing I’m unsure about is how often should I mist her enclosure.
We live in wales in the uk and we are quite high up so we have a lot of bad weather so she is definitely a indoor tortoise for this reason.
I’ve also noticed every morning when I bath her she rubs at her eyes .Even tho I done a lot of research after reading some things on here I realised I am using the wrong substrates I’m using a mix of top soil and sand I’ve just ordered orchid bark fine as soon as this comes I’ll be swapping this over I’m just wondering if this could be the reason she’s rubbing at her eyes?..I’ve enclosed a pic of flash so you can see how cute she is ..
