Your channel randomly got recommended to me. I don't own a tortoise, nor I don't think I ever will. But at least I know how how to properly prepare the diet for tortoises! Consider me subscribed!
Loved it! I wanted to get a tortoise and I didn't know much about their diet. Your video was very helpful. Also, i will for sure buy a fahlo bracelet :)
you ar a life saver i had a tortoise for year and a half and it was a birth day present and i was panicking on how to take care of her and you helped sooooooooooo much
I really enjoy watching your videos, they're so helpful and interesting! Now I know what kind of diet I should feed to my tortoise when I get one. Thanks and keep it up :)
I think you are doing a great job setting out this information. I'm having a problem identifying my tortoises. I can see the red food, yellow food but I have 2 others that I really do not know with type they are. I googled but stil can't find out. Do you know a source with more type pictures?
Great overview! Given all they eat, how smelly are the Mediterranean tortoises? (I.e., when they defecate). I may be getting Hermann's who will be housed indoors most of the year, so am wondering how much smell I may have to deal with. Thanks!
For the heat lamp and heat mat bit, why are heat mats not recommended? For my tortoise, we have brought both a heat lamp and a heat mat for it but mainly because we have an extremely cold house
Tortoises naturally bask under the sun, while lizards will absorb heat from warm rocks. Since tortoises don't have the same sensitivity as lizards, they may burn themselves or overheat with heat mats and not realize it. Since your house is colder, I recommend getting two heat lamps to increase and maintain a good temperature. A good thermostat is essential to keep the temperatures in check. I hope this helps!
@@TheGreatPetShop Thank you! We’ve always used a heat mat since I got my tortoise and I had no idea he might have been overheating. I’ll look into getting another heat lamp ❤️
Hi I’m from the UK and looking for turnip greens not sure if they have another name here? Is there anything else I can use as making my 3 month old spur thigh a nice food plan she’s loving lambs lettuce right now with some dried flower mix 🌸 🍃
Lamb's Lettuce with a dried flower mix is perfect as a staple diet. But ofc try and vary the food that you offer. I recommend growing your own weeds and plants. Here's a link with tortoise safe foods: www.thetortoisetable.org.uk Hope this helps and keep up the good work!
hey! I found a land turtle when I was going to lunch at work! I checkted everywhere around but couldn't found mother or anyhing! It is really small like 2cm! I brouth home, made a hatch etc. I just did what you tell in this video(bath etc.) but I have a problem, dude is sleep so much and just eat one bite green, I even tried to force it(tometo juice,really squeezed green etc.)! right now I am giving or trying to give water with syringe! Is that normal and what should I do ? Is this animal need heat or wet erea?
I feed mine just mixed salad leaves. Glad I came across this channel.

In my experience, they don't really smell. Unless you don't clean regularly (once a month).
