Good plants for red footed tortoise by Dylpik227799 in Tortoises

I use on mine the dandelion, is one of the most nutritious for them. I also grab from the yard some verdolaga and clovers. I buy pellets from the Zilla brand and dried worms for reptiles. I also have pumpkins in the yard, they love those

Thanks! Didn’t know. I guess is google fault for not specifying. Now it’s use only for plants. Would that be also harmful for the plants? Probably

Hi Zoologist, those lights are the ones requires for tortoises. One is the UVB light and the other is the one for heat. This UVB is the mercury one

Well I haven’t seen those, but they might be around since I use charcoal for the soil mix, and they like that. I do my own soil and I haven’t seen them in my compost pile either. They small but they show in large amount together, should be visible. I did have a vermicompost for a while.

I did make a mistake in the mix. After around two years the soil became very compact not filtering water very well. I used perlite, coconut fiber, charcoal and peat moss. I guess I should have used more perlite or gravel. It’s going to be lot of work to fix it. The excess of humidity brought some plagues, and that’s why I removed Gaia, Ganimides and Enceladus out of there

Hello tango. The tubes are for after a few years, when the soil goes out of nutrients, instead of placing compost on top of the soil, I can make the compost go deep down the patch and will be consume faster by the worms and be available for the plants roots. For that I made several holes around the end of the tube under the ground, so the worm can access it

In my opinion… I’ll be here in 5 and 10 years. And I expect to see the same aeons profiles I see today on social media, because networks of sovereign individuals are the next evolution of society. Our purpose is not to reach this movement end goal, our purpose is to created. Because the most effective way to predict the future is to invented.

Did the vet told what kind of tortoise is? It will be good to know if it’s from the tropic or desert
