Re: Tortoise enclose

Hello again! I have an update on Toast, plus another question! He is now in a tortoise table and has been enjoying himself a lot more, his substrate is deeper and he's enjoying being able to burrow.

Tortoise enclose

I am really confused by all the mixed info online regarding my horsfields enclosure. Here it says vivs are absolutely a no go and other forums are saying they are ideal. I have just rehomed an 18 month old Horsfield from someone who no longer wanted him and he came with a viv. He was housed on a san...
