We all love our torts and want the best for them. that is why i am posting everything i do for tanker. i need to make sure i am doing everything right.
I give tanker a bath two times a week in warm water, then i use a baby toothbrush and scrub him down and then dry him with a wash cloth. I bring him outside for sun and exercise an hour at a time if its nice out. if i can't bring him outside i let him roam around in my apartment. he gets fed sometimes spring mix, most of the time ill get a head of one of the kinds of lettuces off the list like red leaf/ green leaf lettuce, endive i think its called, mustard greens etc. i also give him carrots and broccoli every once in a while. he has had prickly pear cactus, banana, and apple like once a month for a treat.
these r what i use and his enclosure:
it is a old dresser flipped over with a shower curtain and tarp inside. there is soil, coco coir inside along with two hides one on the cool side and one on the warm side. temps are 95-100 on hot side and 75-80 on cool side. at night its about 60-70.
