Re: Mr Turtle ( The Baby Tortoise ! )
Quote:
Would it be that hard to build something? Four pieces of 6" by 1" wood nailed together and you have an enclosure. If you keep him inside you need to invest in a multivitamin especially calcium and D3 supplement. Outside they make there own D3 from natural uvb in sunlight. This cant pass through windows and without warmth and this being provided he cant process calcium and his shell will soften and his bone density will suffer in the long term. It is possibly to keep them inside but you must provide a hot spot of 30 Degrees and provide special lighting. He is truely better off outside. It is illegal for you to keep him as he is wild and not captive bred but I understand why you want to help the little chap. They are listed as endangered animals. Can I ask what your long term plans are for him?

Re: Mr Turtle ( The Baby Tortoise ! )
well if I do put him back in the wild where I put all the other toroises that come inot our garden ( the orchard at the back of our garden ) then the local school kids would probably throw stones at him and kill him .. ( I have seen this happen before right outside my gate but when I got there it was to late ) I obviously dont want this to happen.
my plans for him - Keep him in my bedroom in his 'tank' untill we move to our new home - we will have a proper fenced of enclousure for him where our dog can not get to him.
