The Pet Express Monkfield Tortoise Table Oak Starter Kit

Product Information

Whatever enclosure is chosen there should be good drainage and in the case of Horsfield tortoises, in open runs, fine mesh underneath the sand/soil substrate to prevent the tortoise digging out. Dried flower mix to be given as an added treat and supplement. The variety of natural ingredients will help encourage foraging behavior such as turtles will do in the wild. The TPG does not recommend mesh rabbit runs, unless the lower perimeter can be boarded out to prevent the tortoise seeing out and climbing up. A piece of slate, flat piece of limestone or a clean ceramic tile should be provided for the tortoises to eat off. Bronze - The Bronze starter kits offer just the bare essentials for a novice reptile keeper, allowing them to keep their new reptile happy and healthy, with slightly more basic yet reliable equipment. These kits come with smaller enclosures and are designed for juvenile or hatchling reptiles.

Supermarket lettuces and cucumbers are tolerated but it is preferable to grow or collect weeds which are freely available for most of the year. Minerals and Vitamins Here at The Pet Express we want you to enjoy every time you shop with us. Occasionally we know you may want to return items, we have tried to make our terms as clear as possible to avoid any nasty surprises. To ensure that the tortoise is provided with adequate mineral and vitamin supplementation the following supplements need to be provided: An interesting habitat can be provided for the young tortoise by adding flattish pebbles, large stones to give different textures, allow for climbing, and they are also useful for helping to keep the claws in trim. Sundries A plant sprayer, to spray the substrate with water on a daily basis, will help keep the substrate slightly moist and help to keep the dust down.Bronze - Bronze tortoise starter kits contain the absolute basics you need to house a tortoise. All of the hardware you need is included but you may need to update it over time.

Because tortoises need to thermoregulate you will need to be able to provide a temperature in a hot spot at one end of the enclosure of about 30°C(90°F) and a cooler end (where you can place a little hide for him to sleep) of about 20°C (70°F), and because your tortoise table is inside your house there will be no need for any lighting or heating at night. Owning a tortoise is a major responsibility and getting started with a high-quality starter kit is incredibly important. If you’ve been wondering whether or not the Tortoise Starter Kit Advanced is the right choice for your needs, then you’ve come to the right place.You will need enough to give a substrate depth within the table top of at least 25mm- 50mm (1"-2¨). Probably a little more depth should be allowed for the Horsfield tortoise which loves to dig and tunnel. Our reptile starter kits are split into categories by the type of animal they are designed to house. However, we also split our range into bronze, silver, gold and platinum. The kits breakdown as follows:

What should I look for? The tortoise is an ectotherm: in other words it is cold blooded, and it relies on temperature to maintain optimum health and wellbeing andtherefore it needs to be able to thermoregulate (adjust its temperature). This means that it needs to be able tomove fromareas of higher or lower temperatures set within its normal thermal range in all parts of the vivarium. The confines of an enclosed vivarium usually result in a similar temperature in all parts of the vivarium, and so make thermoregulation virtually impossible to achieve, and invariably the tortoise will suffer if kept this way over a long period of time. An all purpose reptile disinfectant, or Virkon-S, or a veterinary product such as F10 will be needed for regular cleaning of all tortoise equipment and housing.
