What do you use to control their temperature?

@Naturaltortoisekeepers mine go into insulated brumation boxes i build. I call them the "brumation houses". Something like dog houses with a lid for access. I fill them with dirt, mulch and top them off with leaves. The dirt is about 4ft deep and they dig down as it gets cold, and come up on favorable days.Some people like to add a heat element, but I found it actually gets too hot and makes them active again, as the boxes are basically in the sun. You could also ad a polycarbonate panel to the lid for extra heat if necessary.

@TheAnimalguy1996 this is outdoors? I can’t do outdoors as I reach minus 40c over winter

@@Naturaltortoisekeepers yeah it'd be best to do it within a shed with maybe a thermostat keeping it at 10c. We get into the teens(f)some winters, but for the most part it's mild. The biggest concern for me is keeping them dry.

Great choices!

Sure is 👍

Yes it is. Have you tried it?

The best

Yes I have

It’s a tortoise fav for me

Violas and pansies Have you checked out the tortoise table app or website?

Right! Let’s feed them what their meant to be fed

Thankyou!

Pet store subtrates will give you pet store results

Thankyou for the comment and the view I feed daily. I mostly feed dried foraged feeds over winter with cactus as the only “greens” Have you tried foraging?

@@Naturaltortoisekeepers yes I haven’t quite found enough to really dry and save up but I do grow cactus and order dried hibiscus and clover. Trying to dive deeper into forging. I think it’s the best overall

@ check friends yards that don’t maintain it well or neighbors etc I find can Be gold Mines

Mallow A all tortoise safe feed What species do you keep?

They have no control over heat or uvb Offer very small amounts of uvb in a small concentrated area Meaning a lethargic tortoise

Oh ok

What bulb should I get

?

Tubular uvb and seperate heat What species do you keep?

Beak trimming is applicable with all tortoises but I do believe my star had a bit of a “cat lip”. As in it had a bit more of a natural point and shouldn’t be as round as other species But if the beak is lower than bottom jaw then your due for a trim. What are you main feeds for diet?

@@Naturaltortoisekeepers cool, thanks!

@@shubhamjogadia07 I have a Indian star video aswell if your ever interested

All Ideas I’m trying to share and teach the public

I would consider removing the “bedroom” area as they can make them Lazy. A clay pot is a great alternative to offer them a shelter and encourage digging

@@Naturaltortoisekeepers hi, thanks for the reply. I manually put her in the enclosed end under the pot each night where she can cool down, but in what sense do you mean by "lazy"? If would be very easy for me to remove the dividing wall and partial flat and open up the entire area, but I just wondered what you mean please? Thank you.

@gazf6163 I don’t handle my tortoises unless necessary. Yes I would remove the divider. As tortoises are solar powered and do best with max sun

@@Naturaltortoisekeepers OK. Thank you 👍

Combi bulbs or mercury vapour is kinda dated tech that isn’t all that beneficial

Led doesn’t offer the light source tortoises need. I’m not sure what you mean by black stuff. Maybe soil?

No like around the walls

@@Rayyanshorts52 I don’t really see the benefit in a LED Fb has reptile lighting that is helpful for more lighting insight

Halogen is a great heat source Not for uvb tho

What’s the best for uvb

@@Rayyanshorts52 Arcadia in my opinion But ideally species specific percentage What species do you keep?

How many videos of mine did you watch? Refer to the tortoise table for safe weeds plants and flowers. All the feeds I show in my videos are safe

@@Naturaltortoisekeepers ok thx 😊

Weeds plants and flowers. I have care videos for them to

@@Naturaltortoisekeepers ok I will check that out thx 🙏

Hermanns

Thankyou!

Thankyou! Me too

Thankyou bless you too

What’s printed glass? Please tell me more! Is it crushed glass?

Glass with a picture on for example my tortoises enclosure has grass printed on it

It’s also called painted glass

@@Rayyanshorts52 those enclosures are trash!

@@Rayyanshorts52 it’s also called a house of ants

What types are there? I believe all that would be safe on the tortoise table would be safe

Mallow, edible and a tortoise safe feed

What are you feeding your tortoise?

12 percent for hermanns. Arcadia for brand

Ethel, all the gals get old lady names

Best diet is weeds plants and flowers. A nibble of grass does no harm but it doesn’t benefit.

A nibble doesn’t hurt but it has no benefit to a tortoise. Best to eat weeds plants and flowers. Variety is key

Thankyou

I’m in western canada. But weeds are world wide :)

Thankyou for commenting and viewing

Tubular Arcadia I’ll make a video soon thankyou

Each tool has its place, I prefer using them all for different angles

Hahaha too funny

And then argue fruit is fine lol

Glad you like it as much as me

Larger wattage for heat Higher percent uvb would be ideal What are your temperatures? Feel free to join our fb group same name
