So this is my first run at things and I read up on as much as I could but have some additional questions.
I currently have 2 tortoises(Greeks) hatched and one peeping. One of the hatched is fully sealed up and the second is beginning that process now, the yolk is pretty much fully absorbed, just so healing going on still.
I saw from videos online that people keep their babies in the incubator still but a separate case. I think this is different than what people are calling brooder boxes here, but my incubator does not have an real lighting. The temperature and humidity is there but I am concerned about the light. How long can I keep them in there? The first hatchling was doing much better in there eating than when I moved it into the grow tent(been less than 24 hours). It almost looks like it is afraid of the light and wont come out of its box cover. Thinking of moving it back but not sure what is the right move here.
I have a 10x10ft grow tent I have my other tortoises in the winter to control temperature and humidity.
Any help would be appreciated!
