    It might me a little teeny bit hard but it's actually nice to build things.

    Do the tortoises need a heat lamp if they live outside ? and if so do u turn it off on hot days?

    • @TheGreatPetShop

      Not necessarily a heat lamp but a heat source depending on the weather. And yes, in the summer it's usually off unless we have cold nights :)

    What did you put in the box underneath the dirt

    • @TheGreatPetShop

      I place a plastic mat that sticks to wood, this way it doesn't rot the wood.

    What kind of dirt do you use? How did you waterproof it what was the plastic you put in there?

    • @TheGreatPetShop
      @TheGreatPetShop  3 роки тому

      I use Organic top soil and I used a plastic sheet with a sticky side on the bottom and finished off the edges with duct tape, this way it's waterproof. :)

    Hello, I’m interested in a Russian tortoise. Can they stay outside the whole year or should I build an inside tortoise table?

    • @TheGreatPetShop

      You should build an inside tortoise table for when the whether gets bad or too cold/hot.

    thank you so much for helping me to make my tortoise life sooo much better. i mean, he used to live in a glass terrarium with no other infrastructure. i had no idea about how wrong and frustrating it was for him, because even his vet told that's fine...
    now i set up a new home without glass, with good air circulation and full of dirt. he has a little pool to chill as well.
    thank you!
    funny that his life became better after russia fully invaded my country. at least someone is happier.
    greetings from Ukraine!

    Hiya! Can you put the enclosure outside if you have a big garden? And what type of tortoise is coconut :3

    What size terracotta bowls are they?

    • @TheGreatPetShop
      @TheGreatPetShop  Місяць тому

      I buy them according to my tortoise's size - they should be big enough for them to fit their whole bodies in.

    Is it best to put the lamp in the hide or in the outside bit
    I'm getting my tortoise scooter a upgrade home and I want him to be as comfortable as possible
    Although he isn't a Greek tortoise so I don't know if its the same

    • @TheGreatPetShop
      @TheGreatPetShop  3 роки тому

      The care varies from species to species so you should definitely research for your specific tortoise. As to the lamp placement I think it's up to you. Indoors it makes more sense to keep the lamps on the uncovered part of the cage to avoid overheating but when it's an outdoor enclosure it makes more sense to place your lamps inside the hide. I hope I was helpful!

      Alright thanks I've done a bunch of research on him I just wanted to ask you since you know what your doing

    Excuse me what is the brand of soil you are using and also does it work for desert tortoises?

    • @TheGreatPetShop
      @TheGreatPetShop  2 роки тому

      I'm using organic top soil. The best bedding for your tortoise e a 50/50 mix of organic top soil and play sand. Hope it helps!
