Making a Humid Hide
Hello,
In case of use for anyone else, at the weekend we made a humid hide for our 2 year old tortoise's indoor enclosure. Have put some pictures below Plastic box, approximately 25cm x 20cm x 10cm (depth). Used a Stanley knife to cut tortoise-sized hole (entrance) about 4-5cm from bottom of box Box with entrance hole Half an 8.8L block of 'Plantation Soil: Tropical Terrarium Substrate' Half an 8.8L block of 'Plantation Soil: Tropical Terrarium Substrate' in a bucket - added warm water as per instructions on packet (then a bit more) 'Plantation Soil: Tropical Terrarium Substrate' after 15 minutes of soaking Added most of the soaked substrate to box (kept a little back for covering box) and compacted it so it was level with the bottom of the entrance hole Added soaked substrate to box and compacted so it is level with the bottom of the entrance hole Added box to enclosure then put plastic lid on top of box and remaining substrate on top of plastic lid. Add one small tortoise Reinstalled heating & UV lights above in time for bed |
