Yes ill put rocks down so he can walk easily and i fount this light as exo light (tortoise Lizard etc.) it says sun glo and good for these species.In my opinion, the enclosure needs to be bigger. Also, it looks like that's a red light, no? Sometimes the red color makes substrate look like something edible to tortoises. I wouldn't use a red light. Besides that, red lights AREN'T UVB lights.
I have another suggestion: That substrate is awfully rough for such a small tortoise to have to walk on. Can you find something finer, smoother to use instead?
Yes my tort was very active today, and i purchased sera reptil-tort food so how much i should give?Package directions don't always tell the truth. That's NOT a UVB light and it's mounted up too high to be giving off much heat.
False advertising.And this is the light
Thank you but could you please suggest me the light what i need? And a right enclosure for my tort?False advertising.
I would not use that bulb over a tortoise, and it is not going to meet your tortoises UV needs.
I would also not let him run around loose. That is likely to end in disaster. Make his enclosure the correct size and have the correct lighting and he can run around safely in his enclosure.
Thank you for responding but these months are really rainy and cold in Turkey and my tort is greek so i read that i can feed him by giving these foods with cucumber, tomato.etcI see you are in TURKEY.
Can your tortoise spend a few hours of supervised time outside during the week?
(Not in that aquarium outside or he could overheat)
If he can have a few hours of real sunshine, you'll be o.k. and you can concentrate on just keeping him warm.
I can't tell what type of tortoise. But if you check out our foods list for the species, you'll find suitable foods. Hopefully ones you can find in your area.
For a greek tortoise, follow this care info. Care is the same for all the Testudo species.Thank you but could you please suggest me the light what i need? And a right enclosure for my tort?

It is bad as a main food source because when they fill their stomach with these types of foods, they aren't filling their stomachs with the sort of high fiber, high calcium foods that they should be."Tomatoes are fruit and are too sugary and also full of liquid."
So why is liquid bad? Most if not all vegetable foods are largely H2O. When we soak our pets or give them H2O dishes isn't that for the H2O they'll drink besides the soaking? Why not get it from their food as well?
