Tortoise housing

There are table and vivarium set-up kits and depending on which species you choose to keep one may be better suited than the other. Please contact us to discuss the requirements of your pet tortoise.

Lighting products

There are many lighting products available and it is important to know which are suitable for your tortoise. Mercury vapour bulbs can be used to provide dual heat and UVB however they are not suitable for use with a thermostat. UVB can be offered in a selection of tubes, compact UVB is not suitable for tortoises as it does not provide the correct surface area of light that they need.

Tortoise Healthcare

Tortoises require Calcium +D3 supplement which keeps their bones and shell strong. This can be added to their food several times a week and works alongside their UVB to keep your pet tortoise healthy.

There are also vitamins, critical care treatments and other additives which are beneficial for your pet.

Healthcare products are available which can be used to treat scrapes and minor injuries and things like tortoise blocks which aid in keeping your tortoises beak in shape.

Caves & Hides

Whilst some think that a tortoises shell is its home, in reality tortoises hide and dig down at night below the surface in order to keep themselves safe. Providing multiple hides for your tortoise provides enrichment and allows your tortoise to feel secure. We recommend using hides on the hot and cold side of your tortoises enclosure.
