I have a Hinge-back tortoise and he's 6/7 inches long and I was wondering what size vivarium he should be in?
I feed him either tomato or lettuce in the morning and a dry formula food made by T-rex in the evening and he also has a calcium supplement which he helps himself to, What else can i feed him? Does he have to have any live food? He has quite dry skin and shell what can i do to change this? I find it hard to keep the humidity high ,I spray water twice a day but it evaporates in seconds, What else shall i do? I use bark chippings as the flooring. He seems to get quite angry from time to time and he walks up and down his vivarium hitting the doors, he does this for hours at different times of the day, does anyone have any idea why he does that? Is it normal?
I would be grateful for any help that you can give me
thanks
lianne
