I think your videos are amazing and give great tips and advice yout voice is really relaxing! Your tortoises are soo cuteee
Hi! I'm a big fan and I watch all your tortoise vids, could you tell me or make a video of how to control your tortoise poo. I'm really sick and tired of cleaning my Russian tortoises enclosure because he keeps pooping inside, I've tried to train him but since he's so young he doesn't really understand and is super-duper shy. His name is Toby and is only 1 years old. 🐢👑
Very informative 🐢
Most people I know keep their small turtles in a fish bowl
Great video!😍🐢
Thanks! 😊
Very interesting!
Can you do a tortoise supplements video please it will be helping me out
Hey, what are the measurements of your tortoise table in terms of length and width? I feel like that's the perfect size im going for
Thank you so much! The size is 160cm x 60cm. Hope it helps!
What types of plants are good for the tortoise habitat closure?
There is a website with really good information on what types of food are safe at: www.thetortoisetable.org.uk
Hello I'm thinking about building a tortoise table for my 2 year old hermans tortoise but my room is really hot in the day and really cold in the night so I'm really worried about temp control. Plz can I have some advise
You can have a tortoise in your room with no prblem. Always make sure you provide them a basking spot and uvb lighting during the day. My advice on keeping the correct temperature is getting a thermostat, this way, the heat lamp will turn on and off when needed depending on the desired temperature.
I hope this helps and good luck!☺
What’s the substrate you use?
Organic top soil
hey hii can i use coconut chip or husk for baby start tortoise bedding or substrate
Yes you can
Hey how do I stop my tortoise from trampling plants that I put in there? I was thinking of putting a bonsai tree in or a spider plant inside
You don't XD. You could try to create a small wire fence around the plant but just make sure there are no sharp edges and the holes are small enough that the tortoise can't get it's head or feet through
Can I put like papers around it because I don't have anymore money for a bigger enclosure
Yes you can, just make sure you place them outside the enclosure so they don't get to it and it still blocks the view.
Hi I just subscribed will you come back to uploading videos? It's a really cool channel I really love tortoises and I like petting them hehe my aunt has like 4 and they're taken good care of
Yes I will ;)
Could you do a video about heating because I'm not sure if I need a heat lamb on.they are marginated tortoises and I live in the UK.
Unfortunately he passed away a year ago, I just haven't come up with a good way to deliver the news on the channel. But if you want more updates on the animals you can follow my instagram page!
@@TheGreatPetShop hi I am so sorry to hear that. I mz going to check out your instagram it sounds great!
@@goose2989 I just realised I answered your comment incorrectly, I apologize! Of course I can make a video on heating and lamps!
Thank you so Mutch I am looking to forward to watching it and finding out some stuff!!!
Me waiting be like: gimme vid :^)
PVC enclosures are better than tortoise tables but function differently than glass tanks. The closed chambers are now considered better than the tables. That for Hermann’s, I don’t know about more arid species.
It definitely depends on the species. Perhaps it works better for a more humid habitat species, but for arid ones it’s definitely not great.
@@TheGreatPetShop I did say Hermann’s. I’m looking at buying Egyptians, and arid species, but his breeder has his in a ventilated PVC by the same manufacturer of my Hermann’s enclosure.
Can I put my baby leopard tortoise in one of those big snake tanks but he will be out to graze for a few hours he is only a few months old maybe 2 or 3
I would recommend a tortoise table since its cheaper and better to house tortoises
Hi I was wondering what happened to your sulcata tortoise
Unfortunately he passed away a year ago, I just haven't come up with a good way to deliver the news on the channel. But if you want more updates on the animals you can follow my instagram page!
Animals will always try to escape. People have Sulcatas with acres of land and they still try to get out. I think tanks are only okay for babies and during winter time. Ultimately they should have an outdoor setup. They’re best to keep up humidity. Mine never hit the glass they try climbing it
When I say they are hitting the glass is because they are trying to climb it. If you have a solid barrier in their enclosure they won't try to "escape" and will be much more relaxed. But I agree that an outdoor enclosure is always best.
I have a tortoise and he walks against the wall like you said how can I stop that or how can I make him happy
Try to visually block the glass so that the tortoise loses interest in trying to get through it.
Hii I'm a rly big fan I got a tortoise because of u so a big thank you 😍😍😍I have a male horsefield, u seriously have encouraged me so thnx what breed r yours?
That is awesome! Mine are greek tortoises!
Same but mines a female
Hi can you show me your whole tortoise table
Have you ever encounter any fruit flys or gnats infestation inside on of your tortoise tables ?
I have never had that problem, although the occasional fruit fly will come by.
How come your not uploading anymore
I've been distracted but I'm trying to get back into it
Definitely tortoise tables work well only for the species from the arid and temperate climate areas.
I would disagree, I think it works for all types of climates.
@@TheGreatPetShop Well, I would disagree with you
@@ImpulseHobby ok
@@TheGreatPetShop what about red foots that need 70-80% humidity?
my turtle as keeps on knocking on the glass. if i make a non-transparent house for my turtle, it might not be able to enjoy the views of it's surroundings !
They don't understand the concept of glass and therefore won't "enjoy their surroundings". I highly advise to block it's view, It will be much less stressed and will stop knocking on the glass.
Yay tortiose
your fit
