Hiya, does anyone know if this grass is safe to plant in my outside tortoise enclosure? It looks a bit like the elephant grasses on the identification pages but I can't see anything relating to this specific one? If it is, I thought it might make a nice shady spot! Any help gratefully recieved, than...

Thanks Lin & Nina, it's been a work in progress for a few months now and finally got it all done this evening, just in time for teeny to get half hour of evening sunshine! The weather was beautiful here today so very happy he got to enjoy some! Hopefully, he'll get to spend at least a little bit...

Hi everyone, just thought I'd share a pic of Teeny Titan's summer house! :D It's an adapted veg trug so not the most enormous outdoor space which is a shame, but it's better than no outdoor space! We went for this as we needed something off the ground as we have a dog and we also won't be staying in...

Hi Nina, thanks for checking in. Teeny is doing okay...it's hard in a way for me to gauge as he had unfortunately spent so much time in a viv that didn't enable him to behave how he wanted to, if that makes sense so my judgemnt of what is 'normal behaviour' is probs not accurate. The viv was always ...

Hi Nina, Thank you so much. My arm is similar to the one in the last pic, but it was to wide to get the hook of the lamp over, but actually looking at your chain link suggestion I think with the purchase of a bit of a thinner length of wood and a chain I can fashion something myself. I had been look...

Good morning Nina, Just a quick update, this morning, I tried taking the lid off the boxed area, turned the main room lights on to get it as bright as possible (i'm waiting for a lamp to arrive today) and for the first time in a week he's independently got up and started to explore his enclosure! He...

Thank you Nina, I am so happy he is out of his vivarium, it had been worrying me for a while but buying a new table was quite pricey, so had to wait a bit to afford it. I just want him to be happy in his home! The table came with a wooden arm with a ceramic holder for a bulb. I've modified it a bit ...

Hi Nina, thank you so much for your detailed response. I changed Teeny's substrate tonight from the tortoise life sandy/soil to the topsoil/play sand mix. I gave him a good soak and he has been much more like his usual self playing and exploring his enclosure. The probe on his thermometer was on the...

Hi everyone, this is my first post, but I am a bit worried about my little man Teeny Titan. I have owned him for two years and up to now he has lived in a vivarium. I was advised at the time of getting him that this was the set up he needed etc and have since learnt that it very much isn't. However....
