Re: Hebe Magic Varieties

Sorry for the Kate response. That’s one way to put it Nina ha ha haaaaaaa. We’ve finally ‘finally’ got round to having a ‘proper’ garden and we’ve made sure we have stuff growing for Vera so he’s been enjoying hebe, olive tree, grasses, different herbs and various flowers. He’s spoilt that’s what he...

That’s smashing Nina, thanks for that info. That’s my bank holiday weekend sorted.

Do you recommend orchid bark at all?

Re: Substrate

Hey!

Sorry to interrupt and jump in!

I have a quick question ..

Which is the best top soil and sand to use, what do you use, where do you buy it?

I am putting Vera back on a mixture of top soil and sand ... long story (but he's a little sod)! :lol:

Thanks

Re: New Enclosure for Vera

OK so since my earlier post I’ve had an awful thought ... with all the slate, as he is a climber, I’m petrified in case he falls and cracks his shell so I’ve decorated again 🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi everyone, it’s been a while since I’ve been on here, I hope everyone is keeping well and staying safe in these crazy times. I thought I would pop on and let you have a peek at Vera’s new tortoise table (I’ve added the photos as separate posts as it wouldn’t allow me to add them all to this one). ...

Power Cut!

So, theres a power cut and they predict 5hrs. I'm guessing Vera will be ok for this length of time? I've popped a hot water bottle in his bedroom. I am keeping a check on his temps and they seem to have stabilised at 22 degrees. I am guessing it's best to wait until the power is back on for his dinn...

Re: Vera has a mansion!!!

Yeah we will be switching him to playsand and to soil.

There's a bearded dragon in the viv and the empty space to the left of it is where our house rabbits cage lives. We've also got a puppy ... full on menagerie I tell you.

Glad you like the set up.
