Please understand this very well that tortoises are not supposed to live in captivity but people still don’t understand what and get one anyway. If you have a tortoise then it is for sure that tortoises will not do great indoors. If you do not have outdoor facility then the best you can do for the betterment of the tortoise is to submit it to local wildlife department or any good NGO.

Just shifted to a new house. My tortoises live in a big pot, they have more than enough space to walk, but now I feel like making a better house for em. So I used a some planks to make em a cool hiding spot and roaming area. Near my window, as it's winter. They sleep most of the time but yeah I'm pretty sure they like it.

From the starting I kept my tortoise on tiles but now as it is not good for them I am planning to build a house for him. I have a gallery type open a but a little bit larger(as big as a room) area on the 2nd floor of my house where there is sufficient sunlight......so as he is habitual of that much wide area how should I build his enclosure Should I make a cubic area with grass, plants, water plate with a entrance?
@IndianStarTortoise3 жыл бұрын
So glad to know that you’re willing to put some real efforts, kudos to you👏👏👏 Some good garden soil or washed river sand (known as “kaamp” which is used as soil for gardening in new houses) will be good. Great if 8-10 inches thick as it’ll help retain moisture plus small plants & grass will grow well in deep soil. Rest water dish, hiding spots and pots you can keep as per your convenience.

@IndianStarTortoise3 жыл бұрын
Yes, that’s correct if tortoise gets enough sunlight and basks then you don’t need uvb bulbs. Amount of sunlight required in terms of duration can vary depending on size or age of a tortoise. Hatchlings need less sunlight but adults can bask for few hours during winter. So, we can’t decide for how long tortoises need sunlight, they decide it.

@IndianStarTortoise4 жыл бұрын
UVB lamps are for calcium absorption. To warm them up you’ll need basking lamps which emits heat. As far as you keep the temperature under the basking lamp till 90-100 degrees Fahrenheit. You can control the heat either by intensity controller or by adjusting lamp height.
