  2. You should use a substrate that does not gather dust. Dust is not suitable for the noses of tortoises as the airways can be irritated. Often used are sand, bark mulch and fine pebbles. You can lie leaves or hay on the top so that the tortoises can bury themselves a little.

    Tortoises need a shelter. It belongs to their natural way of life. Some also bury themselves into the ground.

    Bathing Possibilities: Tortoises love bathing. Furthermore, they also use their “bath” as a drinking point. It should be easy to change the water. A small bowl is normally enough for small tortoises.

    You also need a terrarium lamp with a reptile bulb and a clock timer.


  3. here is a site that will show you how to set up your tortoise table  http://www.tortoisetrust.org/  it also has some great articles on tortoise keeping so is worth a look, a basic list for what you need is a substrate, bed a beast mixed with play sand is good for tortoises who like to dig, you can also use flattened hay, shredded paper, there is also a corn cob bedding which is safe for your tortoise as if ingested will just be digested and cause no harm, you also need a small hide for them, water dishes and food dishes, some tortoises like a small branch to climb over, you need a uvb light and a heat source i use heat lamps fitted with a thermostat so it does not get too hot, i also grow grass on trays for our tables the tortoises love the fresh grass and they are easily watered and cleaned and can be replaced if the ruin it
