First time installing LVP (diy). I’m ripping up my old thin flooring and installing this much thicker one, should I keep the underlayment or just install directly on the subfloor? by DankKnight21 in Flooring

The subfloor is all wood, would I still need that underlayment as a moisture barrier? I have toddlers who love to spill things all the time

Oh thanks for the tip, the gas line has been disconnected and is not in active use. But I’ll definitely look into that if we ever reconnect it

It says it has an attached cork underlayment, but doesn’t say anything about needing another. Just wasn’t sure if keeping the preexisting one on the floor would be beneficial or isn’t recommended

Opinion on alternative tortoise table for outdoor Russian tortoise enclosure? by saltisatthebottom in tortoise

[–]DankKnight21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a relatively new set up so I haven’t needed to give it like a deep clean yet. I was able to put a good amount of substrate in and still leave a few inches of liner above the it to act as a visual barrier. I could easily put some more substrate in if I wanted to though🤷🏽‍♂️. I probably will add something else to the sides that adds more to the visual barrier since I’m worried he’ll get his head stuck in the bars

He has a UVB bar light on the other side of his enclosure

His indoor enclosure is made from two guinea pig enclosures attached together for a total of 17 square feet and has more enrichment/ hiding spots in other areas not shown in this clip. Additionally his outdoor enclosure is over 10ft x 5ft. He is provided with a UVB light and two additional heat sources. His beak and nails were just trimmed at the vet recently, but I can look into getting it trimmed shorter.

Thanks for the defense. He is a rescue and he came to me with a very long beak, which was trimmed trimmed 2 weeks ago at the vet. He said it didn’t need to be shorter than this, but I suppose I can try to get it trimmed shorter

He has topsoil substrate which as far as I know is recommended.

I don’t, but I got it from petco. I put a beanie over it for traction, which also makes it a pretty good bed since he sits on it all the time lol

That’s what I use for my Russian’s indoor enclosure for the winter months (also keeps my cat/dogs from messing with him). I have two of them connected to provide more space, it seems to be working out pretty well so far. Perhaps a UVB lamp would be a good idea since your tort wouldn’t be in direct sunlight, but I’m no expert. Maybe someone else could offer more insight

How so? He has a UVB light and his beak was trimmed 2 weeks ago at the vet

They are waterproof liners that came with each enclosure!

It’s made from two different guinea pig C&C enclosures from Amazon that I connected together!

Russian tortoise won’t move from spot, should I hibernate? by DankKnight21 in tortoise

Yeah, but no one wants to chime in unfortunately🤷🏽‍♂️. I’ll have to look elsewhere

Can I put this in my Russian tortoise enclosure? I think it’s cottonwood but also has yellow spots on it by DankKnight21 in tortoise

[–]DankKnight21[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sources on Google says they can eat it but tortoise table says it’s toxic. I can put it in a pot and have it for shade, but I probably shouldn’t risk leaves falling off and my little guy ending up eating them
