I don't know if this is in the right place but I couldn't think of anywhere else it would fit? Mods feel free to move it.
I wondered how many of you Quarantine new torts before putting them in with or near your torts.
If you do how long do you Quarantine for, what do you look for whilst they are in Quarantine and do you go through everything before handling any other tortoise (washing hands, cleaning things etc)
If you don't. Why not?
It's just purely out of interest and with me planning on getting a new one, or two, I don't know whether to Quarantine or just treat them like i did when I first bought Squirt home.
They will be living in a different enclosure to Squirt so by Quarantine I mean making sure I was my hands, use a different soaking bowl etc.
