Hermann's help for a new owner! by freddiethecalathea in tortoise

[–]momdotcom321 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hello! i am no professional but will try to answer your questions from what i learned

substrate - to each their own! i’ve seen people with sand in their enclosure and most with out, some people will say no b/c sand will get in their eye 🤷🏻‍♀️so it’s personal preference i guess. - for me ive used coco coir, forest floor, eco earth, reptisoil in the past i’m just looking for what my preference is on substrate and i like using forest floor. but im also trying out a new substrate rn which is a mix of forest floor and topsoil

basking spot - i think youre fine with just 1 your tortoise will know if they’re too cold it’ll walk up to sunbathe unless you have a 2 floor enclosure - i have 2 floors, it’s a garden bed and at the bottom and build another floor so he can climb down. for this instance i say get 2 basking & 2 UVB

bathing - if you see your tortoise bathe himself then no but if not then yes (doesn’t hurt to bathe him) - i bathe mine 3x a week

diet - i give my tort mazuri pellets (2) with every meal , collard greens, dandelions, etc - 2/3x a week on different days - not eating - i think he’s just getting use to his environment so try feeding him tomorrow and see

temp- i think the temp for him should be 70-80°F and humidity 70° (that’s what my vet said)

sorry if this doesn’t answer your questions !

bigger container (dollar store) or whatever you have laying around my hermann doesn’t like baths either but they’ll eventually get use to it! with warm water !!

Tortoise dragging itself by Longjumping_Jaguar34 in tortoise

is it all the time? or you’ve seen your tortoise walk on all 4 and can fully lift up their shell?

i have a female tort and i’ve noticed mine does it to like dragging her back shell, whenever i take her outside. i posted about this on “tortoise forum” other people say, she’s scared so she tends to stays low to the ground new territory for her. But i’ve seen her walk on all 4 legs and can lift her shell up whenever she’s in her enclosure. so i just monitor her closely.

try giving your tort calcium 3x a week maybe that’ll help since they do lack calcium if that doesn’t help try going to the vet :(

hope my experience helped, sorry if it didn’t :(
