this is very useful video, what I actually have to do day to day when I get a tortoise....this is the most important now I know what I sign up to when I buy a tortoise💚
What a great video! So informative. I just made an indoor enclosure for a re-homed tortoise. After seeing your setup, I am going to do a tunnel like you have into a 2nd enclosure to increase the space and options. So glad I watched this video, thank you for sharing your expertise.
Fab video, I have 8 tortoises whole I love dearly. I’ve been rescuing reptiles for 4 years and had gained lots of knowledge on the rights and wrongs, but I absolutely love your videos 😀 well done and keep up the good work x👏🏻
Aww - thank-you so much for the lovely feedback, really appreciate it and am pleased you love the videos! 🙏 😁💚 What breed of tortoise do you have? Love that you rescue reptiles too, such an awesome thing to do 💚🐢
Priyanka Al Hi! I know I’m nine months late and you have probably found the answer to your question but, I would like to help people who have the same question out! If you own a turtle, they need an aquarium (so water). However, if you have a tortoise, DO NOT put it in deep water as they CANNOT swim! Tortoises do need places to soak themselves though!
happytortoises You are welcome 😊 They are such cute little angels. I plan to get tortoises later this year, I am studying and watching videos to get educated.
Awwwwwww😍😍Thanks for the video you did a good job taking care of them👍👍👍👍 I look at a lot of videos and this is the best one so far keep the good work up. By the way im a new subbie. I had to subscriber to your channel cuz your doing a great job.
I love tortoises and watch kamp Kenan religiously now that I’ve found your channel i will watch and have subscribed to yours great and so informative I have horse fields and love them 👍🏼😁
Thank you so much for this video because I'm getting a tortoise and my mom told me I need to know about how to take care of them THANK YOU SO MUCH❤❤❤❤❤❤ plus I subscribed to your channel and liked the video and I turned the notification bell on 😄
Thank you very much for the video. I have 28 desert tortoises , the oldest being over 20 years old. As I live in a very hot country they are housed outdoors. In 2014 they produced 12 hatchlings of which 9 have survived. Since then all the hatchlings have died. This year the five babies have been housed separately from the adults in a large cut down plastic box, with sand as a substrates. I have a little dustpan & brush just like you , & I clean their home daily. I think the reason my other babies died was because I left them with the adults & some disease affected them. This year they are now a month old & are thriving. Thanks again.
Hey, I'm new to your channel and love the time and dedication you put into tortoise husbandry! I'm getting a new Tunisian Spur Thighed in late July, and was just wondering what plants you planted in the table and any you'd recommend :) I already have some spider plants (which my other tortoises love hiding under) and lots of spineless cacti :)
Hello! Thanks for your support and lovely feedback! In this setup I've mostly used fake plants for the baby tortoises to hide under.. I also plant out a selection of grasses and weeds/flowers in seed trays that I can swap over once they've been eaten/need refreshing. There are lots of different live plants like lavender, spider plants, air plants etc that you could plant that are safe for tortoises (some are to provide cover rather than food) - I list a few of the more readily available weeds/flowers in the UK in my 'What to Feed your tortoise' video. Also, please see "tortoise table plant database" for those weeds/flowers/plants/vegetables that are safe/harmful for tortoises.
Hi can you show what are the best foods to feed baby tortoises, because I got my very first dryland tortoise and I really don't know what to feed her!!
Depends what breed you have - if you have a leopard tortoise then I have a detailed video on lots of different foods you can give them 'Feeding your baby leopard tortoise'
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback 🙏😊 Unfortunately I don't own star tortoises at the moment but would love to one day! ...as soon as I do have them in my collection, then I'll definitely make some videos for those who have requested them! 😍🐢
Hi! I was wondering if you would recommend leopard tortoises for beginners? I was interested in keeping a tortoise but I’m not sure if I should because I have never had experience with keeping tortoises before
what wattage for your heat lamps is best to use for a baby greek tortoise ? when i get mine im going to put him in a ceramic tub for a few months before upgrading him or her
A 100watt UVB/UVA basking bulb is usually fine for most set-ups (if you find this it too hot under the basking bulb and you can't raise the bulb holder any higher, then try the 80watt bulb instead) 😉 💚🐢
Hello dear, may I know what is the sand that you are using for their house? And what is the food as my turtules they are eating only cucumber and kale and I am doing my best to put other food with no good luck ,please advise. Thank you
For leopard tortoises, the substrate I use is 50:50 mix of organic top soil with playpit sand. Some tortoises are fussy eaters, you can try chopping up the 'new' foods into small pieces and mixing in with their favourites to encourage them to try different foods. If you have a leopard tortoise, then I have a video on 'Feeing your baby leopard tortoise' to give you ideas on other weeds/flowers that are good for tortoises.
I'm assuming you mean pellets when you say 'tortoise food'? If so, you can try mixing in a little of the weeds/flowers in with the pellets to start with, then gradually (over a week or so) give more weeds & flowers and less pellets. It's good to try to give your tortoise a varied diet to keep him healthy, so don't give up, it's worth the effort! 😊 When you say he's aggressive, what does he do? what breed is he? What enclosure/set-up do you have? Does he roam around the house? Is he in with any other tortoise? (feel free to DM me on Instagram if you want to send me photo's of your setup etc so I can try to help you) 😊🐢
Hello! I joined tubs together and made a simple tunnel between the tubs - it's very easy to do, even with the little DIY skills that I have! 😁 In another of my videos "Baby radiated tortoises Extending their enclosure (using a tunnel)" I show how I created these tunnels, hope that helps you? Good luck! 😁💚🐢
happytortoises you know tourtoise far better than turtle , because turtle want heater, filter, they run so fast & bite also, big aquarium which is cleaning so difficult, conditioner , you have to buy variety of foods not greens & leave... Tourtoise $500 / turtle $10 & accesories $550
Superb. Nice inspiration, i will imitate what your doin, specially with the pvc for interconnection between the plastic box.. thank you

Hi I bought two of one of your tortoises
you should file of the pieces of cuttlebone onto their food so it works as calcium powder!
Thank uu💚🐢
You’re welcome 😊

Hi! I was wondering if you would recommend leopard tortoises for beginners? I was interested in keeping a tortoise but I’m not sure if I should because I have never had experience with keeping tortoises before
sulcata is a pretty good starter sorry I'm two years late
I am also 2 years late lol but Russians are great starters! Sulcatas get way too big for beginners
Why do you need to remove water in the evening?
What do u feed the baby turtles daily?
what wattage for your heat lamps is best to use for a baby greek tortoise ? when i get mine im going to put him in a ceramic tub for a few months before upgrading him or her

thanks so much for answering :D and i will for sure take your advise :D
Beware not to raise the bulb too high as UV lights may diffuse away, usually 20-40cm between bulb and tortoise is fine :)
my tortoise eats theyr own poop is thsat normal or they need something?

Terracotta saucers I got from my local garden centre (disinfected before use)
