Slates?
 

Hi :)

I want to put slates in my tortoises' enclosure but do not know where to get them from. From where did you get them? I currently put my tortoises food in a plastic plate which is not very nice and looks out of place in their enclosure so I would really like to know where to get a slate. :)

Thanks! :)

Hi Dandilion,

You can feed off a terracotta roof tile, if you cant source any slate.

Band q often have off cuts for free if not aia guess they are not too expensive to buy from there...

I bought a really nice slate stepping stone from B&Q on Sat for £4.49

Thank you for your help. :)

I got a 12" square slate tile for nothing as I asked a tile place on an industrial estate if they had any slate offcuts.

How do you clean slate when they've pooed on it?

Give it a scrub, and a wash with Milton!:D

Got mine from the builders, re newing a roof, just asked if I could have an old slate, they didin't mind.

Make sure if you are buying from a builders that the slate is the thick kind. As the thin slate can get very hot and possibly burn a torts shell.

Thanks for the tip! :)
