🐢FACTS
🐢 This video took me forever to edit lol 😵
🐢 This video was a overview of care but NOT a complete guide :)
🐢 I did not have time to dive into individual aspects like daily care, sicknesses & need to knows.
🐢 I would love to make more detailed videos !
🐢 This video took a lot out of me & a long time to film and edit so that’s why this is the only full video this week!
Hope you all enjoyed this video! I tried to cover as much as I could & I hope it’s helpful to you!
Please remember this is not a Daily Care or Overall Care guide, but rather a Overview or care and starting our expectations of care and costs.
Thank you! 💕
It's good video
How much was your enclosure price wise.
I found a mercury bulb on amazon is this the right one? www.amazon.com/dp/B01CRJXJZ4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_uRJpEbCKK70VP
I’m a boy that want a tortoise
I sulcus but I live in a climate where he can't go outside any tips on what I should do
I instantly realized how poor i am when you said 100 dollars was pretty cheap.....
Well it's not Cheap but for reptile and Amphibians as pets pet enclosure and supplies can easily get to 200$
Same
Ikr
tortoise heat BULB- 25 dollars, then uvb for like....20 dollars. UVB+UVA= 50-60 dollars. Then stands. Then set up. And eyah best if they can have some time in garden too. So it is a bit yikes XD
It’s not cheap but quite cheap in comparison to other pets that what she meant :)
My biology teacher has a tortoise. He lives in a tiny terrarium. When I had a bearded dragon, I would NEVER put him in such a tiny habitat. One Monday, we came in and the tortoise was roaming on the ground. Our teacher said that hed let him out on the Friday before and had forgotten to put him back. Since he was our BIOLOGY TEACHER, I didn’t question it vocally, but I did notice that Fluffy was looking pretty dark, and I remembered that my bearded dragon would get dark when he was cold. I feel so bad for that tortoise...
Tortoise care seems a bit difficult to accommodate for a beginner like myself. You sound like you've read up all about their care - which is what everyone should do if they happen to own one.. You take great care of your tortoises and your other pets! Interesting video, thanks Lori!!
Rebecca Labs it is a lot! Haha
@@LorisHartland I used to have a tortoise in syria and everyday it would poop crazy
watched ur whole hamster journey with moo.. really touching😢💗Stay strong!
idek Unicorns aww thanks 💕
I have no intentions of owning a turtle or tortoise, but I do love learning about them! Thanks ^_^
missykim thank you!
Same here! Lori makes great educational videos!
I hate that all the top comments are people who don’t even plan on getting one🤦♂️
That's me
“My name Lori and I’m an Eco Earth addict” Lori your killing me 😭😂🐢
Harry Harvey lol
mmeeeeeeheehee
I am thinking about getting a tortoise and this video was very helpful
Tenleigh Hammond we’re adopting a 8yr old tortoise so I’m trying to get some tips 😖. EDIT: we got em he’s an eight year old desert tortoise and currently weighs around 70-80 pounds his names franklin and boy is he a character 😂
I’m getting a Russian toitose in a couple of months 😣scared
Francesca maria Vidova Shotton I’m getting one too in about a month, good luck :)
Alan Martinez Thanks good luck to you too I just went to get one today 🥰
I want an Egyptian Tortoise group, a leopard and a ak-47. Plan on moving the USA to make my dreams come true!
I Have a 17 year old pondslider & a 27 year old Map Turtle. Had them both since hatchlings. Also both rescues. I came across a reptile rescue site recently by chance recently and decided to rescue a tortoise or 2. Thank you so much for posting. Helped a lot.
I have 2 tortoises my self. The same breed as blue. They mean the most to me and I love them so much so I love to watch these type of videos to give them everything they need!
Out of interest, how did you manage to get the two tortoises to not fight and get along?
@@hermionecherry1007 Certain tortoises dont fight with others. Or this person might have separated them
@@hermionecherry1007 tortoise can live together if not both male and of the same species, they can get abit weird over food tho but thats it
Thank you so much! I have had my Sulcata tortoise for almost 4 years now since he was a baby. This helped me so much! Thank you!
Thank you so much for making these videos. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have my two tortoises. Your videos have helped me learn so much about tortoise. Thanks again 🐢
I lived near a petshop that was abusing their tortoises and had them all piled in a tiny tank and my friends mum had lots of animals... and lets just say we obtained pockets full of tortoises for her mum...
The best part about the zoo med tortoise houses is that you can connect two of them together to make a 6 ft enclosure
WOW I’m so glad I finally found this channel!
You're wonderful. Thank you for this video. I've been taking notes the whole time!
thank you for this! I cannot wait to get our family tortoise tomorrow! 🐢🐢🐢
I'm a tortoise mom to be and I'm just going to watch all of your videos to get a good idea of how to be the best turtle mom and get as prepared as possible! I'm getting a sulcata!
Update?
Hi! I recently got hermit crabs and I watched your videos and they were so helpful and they are now thriving in their tank rather then in the stores. I would love to see more videos about them to have more info or just a recent update about them 💖
Do you think you can go more in depth of different species and their care and cost? Thanks for your information!
Just earned a sub thank you it was hard finding a good video for beginners
❤️🐢 thanks!
I really needed this! Thanks
Thanks for the general overview! It helps a lot and I’ll be inheriting a tortoise soon, so I’ll be doing hours of research and investing In the future
I hope you and your tortoise are doing well.
Hi Lori!! I love your channel!! I subbed and I love your content! Blue is the cutest!!😄😄
This is the best tortoise video!
It’s interesting seeing the difference in care requirements between Lori who keeps her tortoises inside vs Kennan who keeps his outside. I want to keep mine outside as much as I can but I live in Minnesota so I have to bring them in for a few months.
Kay B he has a lot more and larger torts baby blue is so little I’d be afraid to keep him outside year round :)
Thanks this helps me since I’m getting a hermann tortoise within a week or so.🙂
You ever get one?
you got it?
Lori u are so helpful thanks for the info
Very helpful video, im getting a red foot tortoise , because my cousin can't take care of her anymore. So very helpful guide for knowing the basics.❤🎉 thank you
Thank you so much (: I’m getting a pet leopard tortoise and now I have and idea for the costs, subscribed (:
I have 2 greek tortoises. They’re nearly 4 years old. I feel like I’m not taking enough care of them. There’s no videoes in my language, so I’ll have to get by with English
Thank you for this!! Much love
Thank you for this!! My cat brought me a baby tortoise and I want to help it live a long healthy life. This was very helpful
Your cat bought you a tortoise?
@@jadenavarrete6577 oh jendjend I phrased that wrong. My cat found a tortoise outside in the fields and it picked it up and took it home
Aww!!!! I love the videos you do with your tortoise! ♥️♥️♥️ And BTW I was at Walmart and my walmart practically abuses the fish (the betta fish are worse) And there was a dead sorta deceased betta fish with mouth rot, I got so upset when I saw it, so I put it in the front of the section and wrote a note and left. So sad how walmart doesnt even care about their fish!!! 😢😢😢
I work at Walmart and I know this is not true. Here at Walmart we care for our pets! Stop decieving our customers!
Dear subs, plz read description . Thx my Walmart doesn’t give a shit about the fish. All the tanks have dead ones!
Early!! Ilysm
thank you for the info! we also have a tortoise. our friend lent it to us and kids couldn’t let it go so, yeah, it’s still with us. we just feed it with green leaves. very easy and cheap! we have vlogged about it in my channel.
Love it !
quick questions, what are stop staple foods you would recommend and also how often should you give calcium and is it with d3 or without?
Hi! Love this video. I'm considering rescuing a small species of tortoise (adult). I also have a pet parrot, and it would be in view of the tortoise. I was wondering if you think the tortoise could get stressed by the presence of a bird?
Love your videos
I requested this. Thank you!
Do you need water declorinater for the water you give your tortoise?
TYSM!!I am getting one!!
Hi Lori! I am rescuing a horsfield tortoise on Monday. I have done loadsssss of research, but I just have one question which I hoped you could answer. Do tortoises need calcium AND nutrubal? Or do they need both? Thanks 🙏🏻
I have a question, Culd I use a very large storage bin w/ out lid as a enclosure for a marignated tortoise?
I have a Russian tortoise and I want to make a flower bed / enclosure outside for him. I live in Florida, and I was wondering, is the high humidity here or cold winters too much for them? Coldest it was this winter was about mid 40s, rarely in the high 30s (ferinheight) and it gets pretty hot, around 98 - 100 with 100% humidity almost all year. Is that just too much? Should I stick to just limited time for him outside? I really want him out getting natural sun light and fresh air as well as more stomping land to explore.
What kinda of slate should I buy? Any recommendations?
I have had tortoises for about 5 years when me parents decided to get them for me without any research at all! Since I’ve turned 13 almost 14 I’ve decided to to give them a better life
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Could I use chicken wire for a mesh lid when I take my Herman’s tortoise outside in the summer
Nonce107 yes!
You are so helpful
The Repti bark that I bought had lil mites in them then I went to go exchange or something but the other ones had them too
Boil it
Is it possible to have a bulb over the enclosure but bring the tortoise outside for actual sun rays?
Is herbifloor a good bedding for a spur thighed tortoise
Do you know why my Herman’s tortoise that is 3 eats like 1 time a week when I give him food everyday. It also doesn’t really walk around and falls asleep a lot and doesn’t really walk around unless I take it out of the cage. I REALLY NEED ANSWERS!!
I’m thinking of getting a Russian tortoise as my first reptile do you think that’s a good starter or something else?
We just got two sulcata tortoise , I’m confuse how big they can get … but at the moment they re babies :)
What about salmonella infection , I’m making sure my kids clean their hands but I always love animal never think of it before , do you have any advise except cleaning the hands after each touch ?
Thank you
Does this also count for eastern box turtles please let me know I need to !!!
I am getting a tortoise soon and my dad doesn’t want one but me my sister and mom want a turtle so we are doing research thanks this was really helpful.
Tortoises are better than turtles 1000000%
I had a tortoise house about triple the size of the hatchling cage, ( just like blues) it was made for my tortoise called travis, he loved it, he hated me like but he loved to run outside in the grass, obviously when I was there watching, he was so slow tho. He loved his hide house, he would love it, he had a hive , he liked to clime in his water bowl, he was tiny tho, but he could get out easily, wasn’t that much water, I love how my parents did a lot of research before getting him 🥰 we had to sell him tho because we moved to a different country, :( I hope he is living the best life right now ;c
I'm watching this and laughing because I don't have a tortoise but I love Loris channel
How do you feel about deep heat projectors?
My local Petco has a Russian Tortoise and it's been sooo tempting....
Dont buy reptiles or any animals in particular from pet stores. It would be best to look for an animal from a trusted breeder
@@JA-sn1or Yes I know this. That's why I haven't done it. I'm just meant every time I go in there I see it and it makes me all uwu.
J A Curious, why is it not recommended to buy from the pet store?
Because they never really take good care of them and when you buy it your supporting them to buy more
I don’t think local pet stores abuse idk
Good videos
can you tortise live outside permenently in nz ? and can you have heat pads in there inclosure?
What tortoise do you have? I’m thinking of getting one and yours look so cute!
do a video about building a house for the turtle.
I have just changed over to Coco noir and top soil but it's a bit damp..is that normal please?
Lori ur the best
Your turtle is SOO cute!!
Tortoise*
How important is substrate if you let them run amok every day?
What if you get that zoomed house and have it out of the enclosure most of the day ?
What light do you use for your tortoise
I've got a horsefield tortoise, about 10 weeks old ish. I dont know, but I need advice on how to tame it I've only had him for 1 week. Any tips
@@transvegan7682 okay?
LORI HELP!!
Uh i was wondering...that tortoises hibernate right? Does blue hibernate? If he does, could you make a video explaining how you, like, make arrangements?
If theres already a video on that, could someone plz tell me?
Hey can you make a video about Russian tortises please I want one ok thanks :)
I found a tortoise on the middle of the road and there were a bunch of dogs eyeing it down so I took it..I don’t know what to do and how to take care of it, I’m not sure if the species but I made a little pen with soil and water with a cave and stuff like that but I’m very scared that it’s too cold for it
I have questions about the heating and lighting. Do tortoise need both UVA and UVB lighting or can you just use one? Are there separate bulbs for each and if there are then can you recommend me some that are cheap but get the job done? I really want to be prepared when i get my tortoise son but i feel like even if i do all this research im gonna get something wrong.
Mercury vapor bulbs are the best way to go as they have both uvb and uva plus heat. They need both uvb and uva
I am wanting a tortoise and I was just wondering what tortoise is the best for beginning and small enclosures?
Hermanns. I'm getting one tomorrow
Fred 29 OK, thanks
Thanks Alot ❤️❤️
I am about to get a 6 month old tortoise.
Could you please give me some tips?
I am only a beginner.
I just found one at my bottom step. I want to keep her nd give her the best treatment(s) nd I'm scared cause I'm not sure if it is a good idea.
i just bought a red foot tortoise and he’s chillin on my chest 😎
hey u alr? just a question, is your tortoise healthy too?
I have a question and I hope someone responds. I have 2 greek tortoises and they are both 1 year old but I really want them outside during the summer when it’s pretty hot (I’m gonna build an enclosure) but my question is do theh need their heating lamps? I’m guessing not because of the heat of the sun but I see on the internet that people actually do that. Also if I want to build that enclosure does it matter if I put it in the shadows or the sun?
If they are outside they will need partial shade and partial sun for a basking spot. Make sure to keep up with the temperatures of the shade part and the sunny/basking part and that they are the right temperatures. Make sure to have a hide. And also that no predators can get to them. They dont need the bulbs if both night and day are the right temperatures
can you do a video on cherry headed red footed tortoise care
Where do you buy your slate?
If you still have your hermit crabs please do another video on them, I have watched all you videos so far but if you have changed anything or learned new things can you please do another video.. I recently got hermit crabs 😩 I didn’t know that they were wild caught so I got them for my young daughter (not knowing that they weren’t supposed to be held much). But I didn’t want to take them back because I feel I can take care of them better than petsco can. They didn’t tell me anything when I bought them. Although I know I should have done more research before I got them!!
how often do you have to soak your tortoise?
Do you still have all your reptiles and if you do how Many reptiles do you have
Im afraid on the tortoise lights can the rays harm me? If the light dosent reach me and its facing a corner do i get harmed with the rays? Please awnser!
No a proper light, uva/uvb is safe for tortoises! And should be angled down.
I was wondering if I would be okay to buy a large storage bin that is a suitable size?
Also, would a regular tile work to feed them on?
My tortoise (a Mediterranean spur thigh) is two years old and she lives in my bedroom. Leaf is very sweet and interesting to watch.
I live in Western Canada and it gets really dry here in the winter so I want to have an indoor inclosher and I don't want a tortoise too big (5 inches at max) can anyone tell me some good breeds? I'm also on a budget. (150$)
I really want to get a tortoise but I’m going to be a senior in high school next year and I don’t know how it would work out with college :/
I just got a baby Greek tortoise and I lovvveeee himmmm but I have no idea what to name him
I love tortoises
When you said they have to bathe every day, does that mean you have to refill the water everyday or you can just leave it?
Titan Killer Change water everyday. But you should also take them out and do a separate soak. Which is just putting them in very shallow luke warm water and making sure their shell gets wet and allow them to drink it.
My uncle got me a tortoise for my birthday...I don’t even know what species it is...idk what to get for it!! Idk if she even got a cage..!
We just got my brother a tortoise for Christmas
What type of tortoise do you have
My name is Lori and I’m and Eco Earth addict!!! 😂
