The Tortoise Table

Thanks Nina, I'm studying all the info now. I'm sure when we got him they said he was 18 months old in may 2021. I weighed him 22 /5/21 and he weighed 204g, I'm sure back then you said he was big. I've weighed him this morning and he is 879g. The vet said he was big too! Maybe he is older or am I fe...

Hi, I'm currently reading more about hibernation so came across your post! My tortoise we believe is nearly 4, I took him to the vets last week for a check and he advised me that he should be hibernated every year and he's never been before. He has advised me to start a controlled hibernation from t...

Thanks Nina, yes I'm definitely going to raise the wall. I didn't actually let him right himself too be honest so I'll let him try that just out of interest to see if he can

I have ...

Thanks for your reply, I've removed all the hemp today and added topsoil. He was actually up when I got up this morning which is unusual and he's been up all day, in and out of his hide, investigating and going over his new ramp. I've put his food up at the top and he's been up a few times. He's lov...

Thanks, I've tried to send again and in a couple of emails. Maybe I've gone into the junk box as my email is .net and not all emails like it!

Thanks so much for your replies, I've emailed the photos. We have a combined heat / uvb lamp, I've adjusted the temperature under the lamp it's around 31. I'll remove the hemp tomorrow and put deeper soil and substrate in all the areas. We are going to make him an extension so he has more space to r...
