Increasing humidity in tortoise enclosures | happytortoises

Hello Everyone - first of all, sorry for not posting any new videos for such a long time but some challenging life experiences happened and I needed to take a break from youtube for a while - HOWEVER, don't worry all my lovely tortoises are safe and well (and I am too!) and I'm very grateful I've been lucky enough to still have them with me - it's also been great to have your continued support, comments, questions and lovely feedback.. so thank-you!
Now back the video... Today, I'll be covering the 3rd of my humidity videos: "Examples of ways to control humidity" in tortoise enclosures. I've split this video into two parts:
- PART ONE (this video) covers INCREASING humidity and
- PART TWO will cover DECREASING humidity.
The options given in this video are suggestions for you to try if you need to increase humidity - you won't need to do ALL of the options, but try out one or two (or a combination of options), to find what works best for you.
