they need actual substrate. some good substrates are coco coir, cypress mulch and orchard bark which need to be moist. are they housed together?

Oh good to know. I'm hoping to move them outdoors but was told they had to be a little bit older. Yes they're housed together. Is that okay?

they should be housed in two different enclosures, torts are territorial creatures they like there own space. being kept together can stress both torts.

Hi. It (the water bowl) seems a bit too deep for a tort to be able to reach it, doesn't it?
