My leopard is now living in a vivarium and seems much happier for it and is using carpet as substrate
And the Hermanns are now living together And are both on topsoil! Am also going to get the Hermanns a combi bulb I have also started feeding them pellets once a week |

Looks like everyone has started feeding pellets, and I've stopped! No reason, just ran out!
This year has been virtualy the same as last year for me, but it was their first year outside last year, so still kind of new... Next year however, they will have a lovely new home (assuming I get chance over the winter!) |

A complete change for my torts housing wise. Both are now in vivs. They seem to be really happy with it and have a more regular routine than what seemed to be the hit and miss of an open enclosure.
Apart from that it has stayed the same, still no UV lights, plenty of weeds, limestone flour and sups as well as pellets.

I don't believe it's necessary.

I'm another that has started using the Pre Alpin food sometimes- too early to say anything about the results but the 'hype ' is compelling!
I installed a more powerful ceramic heater in the coldframe along with more powerful basking lights. Popular with the tortoises and the gadgets have been well managed by the Fortexx smart thermostat/timer controller. Set up a large new raised bed dedicated solely to fodder plants; my neighbour who helps with feeding can cut and feed with confidence from there.

I'm trying to think of something but all I can come up with is I moved the water dish in the outdoor enclosure so the water didn't evaporate so quick
