Since filming this- he has his slate now & I put the black painters tray in there for a water pool- he won’t get in it lol I think he’s scared too, or stubborn? Lol idk now looking for another water dish 🤦🏼‍♀️🐢 thanks for watching! Xo

[@kaitlynmartin2904]

Love your videos and have you ever thought about a bunny I am obsessed I am trying to convince my parents and can you do a Q and A again

[@LorisHartland]

Kaitlyn Martin haha I’m gonna do another one very soon! No bunnies for me, they have to be kept in pairs so I don’t have the room, or time for cleaning.

[@greenman5255]

If the Hermann's was a hatchling, how long do you think they would be able to live in that enclosure? Also, do you shut off the lighting at night? Thanks.

[@kevincarmona1469]

What size is the tortoise house ?

[@skinnypigs1]

That is a very nice cage set up. I never knew how hot they needed to bask or bake? LOL

[@LorisHartland]

skinnypigs1 right! Gotta be warm!

[@tye7087]

Amozing!

[@leedavis9921]

Hi you no what works really well is a medium sized paint tray partially buried so he can get in but then you fill the paint side with water and then he has a place Next to the water to bask in proper life back lol😄😃🙂

[@alb4rt0n4]

Hi lorie, I have a female Herman's tortoise called hazel. I live in the uk, and I bought her from a pet shop when I bought her she had a lot of piramiding on her shel. Since I have had her I give her a high calcium and low protein diet. I wa t know if the piramiding from her past is causing her any pain or discomfort?

[@hblaaa8011]

I'm kinda early!

[@avapeters9189]

I love your videos so much you are my inspiration! I hope you get your real bird soon!

[@jenniferwilliams4405]

Your sooooo cool. Before I watched your videos I listened the pet store told me about my hermit crabs. Then I came across your videos and I was mind blown. Everything that the pet store told me was completely wrong. After spending $72 My hermit is happy and healthy thanks to you😀

[@LorisHartland]

Jennifer Williams omg Yea the store is always wrong. Thanks for watching and coming here!!! Xo

[@braydon6283]

I own the same tortoise house and I just want you to know that it’s better if they have 2 types of bedding wood chips and the dirt

[@janna2174]

Is there anyway u can send me a list of the lighting and soil and all of that we had an impulse buy and im panicking because I have no idea what im doing and I really enjoyed your video. It was very informational.

[@brittanyesquivel3984]

I love repti bark I use it for my snakes

[@julietdayandante8719]

do you recommend this enclosure? i bought one without thinking of how i can prevent rot since i’m getting a red foot tortoise (hatchling) not sure yet how to keep the humidity + temp doing so much research

[@fergusaur_7306]

Would u recommend Mercury vapor bulbs? I have the same house for my baby Herman’s tortoise, but I’m thinking of using uvb strip light. Do u think a uvb strip light would work in this type of enclosure?

[@ci5178]

I love him😆❤

[@StickyFeets]

Have you read about the closed chambers for baby and juvenile torts? Just curious since he’s already pyramiding in case you want to stop it from getting worse.

[@sadiepipkin9198]

Hello. I have a hermann's hatchling. I just got him/her a week ago. I am curious what type of grasses? I have the mazuri pellets, spring mix, collard greens, dandelions, and white clover from the yard i have been alternating to feed him. Any suggestions? Also this video was very helpful.!

[@adrianflores5392]

I was thinking about getting a hermann’s tortoise but I think this would be a good set up. Would this be a good house till he/she is at least 2 years old?

[@breannabourgeois162]

Where did you purchase his light? I’m getting a baby tortoise in a few weeks, and plan to do a similar set up.

[@alexandrialincourt4500]

to day is my birthday (april 29) I got a 20 gallon tank for my hermit crabs

[@aalexttostado]

that turtle house looks cool for a syrian hamster :0

[@aalexttostado]

i’m going to get a syrian hamster after my dwarf hamster passes away (she’s slowing down at almost 2 years old)

[@LorisHartland]

alex tostado not appropriate for hamsters :)

[@tw10262]

Do you turn the light off at night to keep day/night cycles?

[@savannahsmith5468]

could I use the zoo med wood tortoise house for a greek tortoise permanently

[@zingiestbug4251]

What I have for my turtle is the same zoo med tortoise house but I have 2 of them and they are connected so he can walk the entire 6 feet in length!!

[@LorisHartland]

ZingiestBug I thought about doing that!

[@zingiestbug4251]

Freya-Louise WILLIAMS not box turtles!

[@zingiestbug4251]

Freya-Louise WILLIAMS haha yea looks just like koa!!

[@caitlinlowry8810]

where can i get a cage like this? I live in the uk and my tortoise is a horsefield and is 2. I currently have a enclosure with glass sliding doors at the front and i’m worried about there not being enough shade for him away from the basking light. I have a cat so it needs so i can’t just get a tortoise table but i really like the two rooms!

[@jackp6041]

Look up zoo led tortoise box house

[@caitlinlowry8810]

Jack P thanks youu !!

[@pr3ttyars0n37]

Hi! I have a question that I’m not sure if you can answer, if I were to put 2 of these turtle houses together can a adult male Russian tortoise live in there? ( as well as roaming room around my room) I’m preparing for a tortoise in a couple weeks (: They get up to 8 inches at most I believe.

[@Ace-Artwork]

I think they are 6 to 8 inches so that may work.

[@Sylvia441]

I like how you placed plastic on bottom 1st. I would think moisture would rot the wood given time. I'm was thinking of sealing mine 1st, do U think that's a good idea?

[@gabbiesartsandcrafts]

He's so cute I love he's colors 💜 I don't want to be rude but when are you going to do a opening fan mail video again? 💜💜

How much calcium powder would you recommend for a couple month old tortoise?

[@Jacob_-wx6mc]

If you keep the light on for like 11 hours will it catch fire 🔥?

Great vid do vid on bohdi

Where did you get you shirt? I love it!!!!!❤️❤️

[@LorisHartland]

Isabel goodwill lol but it’s buy guy harvey.

[@Isabel-em5uw]

Lori’s Hartland thanks❤️❤️❤️

[@insertnamehere7639]

Really helpful, but do you know how often the soil ect.. should be changed?

[@LorisHartland]

Depends on how messy and big your tortoise is. Blue only poops when I soak him so it doesn’t get too dirty but I would say I spot clean daily

[@insertnamehere7639]

thanks, thats helpful to know. :) Also, do you know approximately how much money is spent on your lovely new turtle per week or month? I would love to buy a speckled turtle for myself, but dont want to bring them into my home and then find I haven't the financial capabilities to support him/her. I just love 'em too darn much.

[@marissak766]

Did you name him/her yet? Loved this video!!

[@LorisHartland]

Maris Kay I have! I named him after a dinosaur!!! Find out Friday!

[@shaquilleoatmeal3632]

Wait i'm confused. you said you dont have him yet but didnt you get your tortise about a week ago? but great video love your channel! edit: sorry only saw the tortise at the end and this probably took awhile post so question awnsered

[@anythinganimal6466]

Water dishes are a big deal dehydration is very common in tortoises!!!! Also does the water barrier come with it? I’m thinking of getting this type of setup please respond

[@LorisHartland]

This setup isn’t big enough for a tortoise long term; and isn’t suitable for a box turtle either :)

[@laurencrossing873]

Will this work for a speckled cape tortoise full term?

[@cjj.8543]

Is that bulb for heating or lighting?

[@LloydWebster04]

Do tortoise need uvb and uva bulb or just uvb

[@hankhill981]

For how Lang will a tortoise be able to live in an enclosure that size before an upgrade

[@LorisHartland]

One foot of enclosure per one inch of tortoise

[@adamkun3222]

So happy the vid is exactly 10 minutes long

[@stephenwood76]

Do you actually breath in the first 3 mins? How’s your tortoise doing?

How long before you change substrate?

Is this 90 degrees Celsius or 90 degrees Fahrenheit because I really need to know that 🙈✌🏻

You can get them from pet smart and pet co. Just don’t get turtles from there. Get them from breeders.

Would this be good for Redfoot tortoise

[@Ace-Artwork]

As a baby yes

[@claire5711]

how big can they get before this size of cage is inappropriate??

[@Ace-Artwork]

They should be 3 inches or so until you move them. I would build it your self or get it built by some one

[@hisnamewasrocco]

WHY ALL THE FRICKING ADS???

[@bigjig7369]

Could I use a 30 gallon fish take for there house

[@gsorestes9933]

Nah firstly it's too small (unless it's temporary) and secondly glass enclosures aren't for tortoises, since they have a hard time understanding what it is and they will probably try to escape all the time

[@whatstea7863]

your supposed to use pellets rather than wet flooring

[@gamarimbawan4329]

Belinya dimana

[@jackp5857]

You seem like youve done some research but his cage really needs a uv light, that is really important in their shell growth and will cause more pyramiding in the future. Also he needs a bigger enclosure but you seem prepared

[@jacksonadkins1227]

Jack P did you watch the video? Blue has a mercury vapor bulb which is a really good 2 in 1 heating and uv.
