The Tortoise Table

Thank you so much Lin xxxxxxxx

Hi all, I've just bought Boris a temporary outdoor enclosure to use for this year as my friend is too busy with work commitments to build my ideal enclosure for him and my DIY skills are non existent. I'm looking for a tortoise safe wood preserver as although it is a temporary enclosure, I would lik...

Just an idea, after my little Boris's bath, I have him on me for a cuddle and I give him some fresh leaves to munch on. Bathing him seems to make him hungry...either that or he's just a greedy little fella.

Thank you so much for the record booklet Nina, its great and I shall start using it after Fridays bath time. I was going to do it tonight but I'm in agony with a tooth abscess so didn't want the faff tonight. He's had his bath though, another wee just after he got in, a drink and he washed his face....

Lol, we are building up a very lovely bond, much to the confusion of my cocker spaniel Lola, who I'm sure thinks I've lost the last of my marbles and I've taken to washing and talking to a pebble!! :lol: :lol: If someone had said a year ago that I would be smitten with a tortoise then I would have s...

[attachment=0]20200928_203717.jpg[/attachment]So, Boris's first bath time this afternoon and I think he liked it!! No wee or poo but I'm sure that'll come. I was talking to him the whole time and he was looking up at me. And he washed his little face!! I just melted, it was too cute lol!! Once I got...

Thanks for that Nina, much appreciated. The seeds have been ordered so I may put a few of the dried bits in to tide him over along with his leaves until his first seeds are ready, then place a few bits in with them and gradually reduce them so that he eventually only eats fresh. Thank you also for t...

Hi Nina, [attachment=0]Screenshot_20200927-155220_Chrome.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=1]Screenshot_20200927-155157_Chrome.jpg[/attachment] This is the one that came with him. I absolutely love the idea of the tortoise seed mix and putting them in his table to help himself. Those will be ordered toda...

Hi :D It was so nice to get up this morning, open the curtains and watch him poke his little head out when I said hello to him!! He was in the same place I left him to sleep last night but his water bowl was empty this morning so I'm hoping maybe he did have a drink. The food I've got is ProRep tort...

You carry on at length, I need all the info and advice as I can get, and it's very gratefully received!! I've been thinking about when he needs more room and I will just have to get rid of an armchair lol, he can have a lovely big table then, and multi storey :D I only have a tiny slabbed garden but...

I truly can't thank you enough!! Your advice on substrate, supplements, bulbs etc would be fab when you've got time. The space I've got at the moment is 1.2 metres long and 50cm wide. I'm currently running down an aquarium and once that has gone I've got the same length but can make it wider. My bes...

Thank you so much for your reply Nina, its very much appreciated. He is now home with me but without his table at the moment. Its too big for where he is going to live so my cousins husband is going to make it to my measurements so for a few days he will have a large long plastic box, which I'm maki...

Hi, I'm Lottie, and in about 6 hours I will become Mum to little Boris!! I've never kept a tortoise before. Dogs and cats were my limit, but my cousin was selling this little guy and well, I couldn't resist. Apparently he is about 3 years old and has a certificate. I don't even know what breed of to...
