  • In this video I make an outdoor enclosure for my hermanns tortoises so that I can separate them from my growing Sulcata Tortoise since she is getting much bigger than them.
    🔴If you make an outdoor enclosure like this and your tortoise is still small make sure to put a screen on it so predators don’t get to them!!🔴

    Hi bro, I just got one little tortoise in my house last evening around 9:45 pm, was even afraid but have manage to crab it. How do I feed it

      What type of tortoise? If you don’t know, I would try and search it up, my Russian tortoises main diet is iceburg lettuce (people don’t recommend it because it’s low nutritional, so I mix it with nutritional things) some Arcadia pressed tortoise hay, from pets mart and occasionally I sprinkle tortoise calcium on it, but this is my tortoises specific diet. first find out if it’s a herbivore or omnivore, a tortoises main diet is high fiber low protein, and no sugary stuff and even if it is a omnivore, I’d just stick to leafy greens for now.(like romaine greens and collard greens) hope this helps ❤.

    How do you keep them from digging underneath the enclosure and escaping?

    • @ShadowsReptiles
      @ShadowsReptiles  3 місяці тому

      The ground is raised a few inches on the inside, the torts I’ve kept here don’t dig much. It’s been Hermann’s and redfoots both of these species aren’t tunnelers

    How do you make a basking spot for the sulcatas?

    • @ShadowsReptiles
      @ShadowsReptiles  4 місяці тому +1

      Just have an open space available that gets up to 95° with uvb if indoors or somewhere they can get sunlight to bask naturally. Check out my cheap tortoise set up video for more info.

    How much does it cost ?

    • @ShadowsReptiles
      @ShadowsReptiles  2 роки тому

      I can’t remember but an estimate according to prices today. Maybe $80 total depends a lot on what materials you use and what plants, substrate or anything else. You can make it really cheap or expensive it’s up to you. Sometimes free if you use scraps or other things people throw away. I’ve built a lot of free enclosures out of scrap wood, or extra cynder blocks

    Do you not get raccoons where you need a mesh roof to protect from predators?

    • @ShadowsReptiles

      Nope I've never had a problem with predators.

    @L0uk0umaki 5 років тому +2

    Man never compact the soil with your feet because you destroy the rooting system . Be sure that you put the hibisqus in full sun so you will get a lot of flowers and also do not forget to put some good soil in there

    • @ShadowsReptiles
      @ShadowsReptiles  5 років тому +1

      Ancient Gaming I am putting the hibiscus where it gets lots of sun so it’ll provide some shade for the torts and I’m using the same soil that I put in there already

    I am looking to get a baby sulcata roughly (2 inches). Im in Arkansas and i already have a large outdoor enclosure for my sliders and box turtles. If i get a hatchling sulcata, couldni put it outside like this?

      Of course you could, but once it grows it’s time to upgrade.

      @@lollibaby1122 That original comment was from over years ago. I ended up getting a hatchling shortly after that comment. He actually lives outside in that enclosure most of the year now until it gets cold. Hes big and happy now!
