Hi
we have a lovely little tortoise called Taloooola, we've had her for 2 wks now and she's such a worry.
We tried housing her in a homemade tortoise table but we couldn't achieve the correct temperature, so she slept all of the time and didn't eat.
We now have her in a 3ft viv with a heat bulb and light and she seems so much happier, she's active, eating and generally pottering around, I'm just so confused. I have read so much (or too much) relevant information and everyone has a different opinion, viv, no viv, tortoise table, no tortoise table, warm, cool, sand, chippings aaarrrggghhh!!!!!!! I don't know what to do for the best.
Any help out there?
