Accessories for tortoise table

warboz · 28-09-2011, 10:28 PM

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find some nice accessories/artificial plants for our tortoise table. I have seen some lovely stones and artificial plants but I have just noticed that these are in the fish section and are meant for underwater. Will they be safe to use for our Horsefield?

Not 100% sure, but i would imagine that they would be fine.

he's only small - we're picking him up a week on Saturday. Tortoise table is being delivered tomorrow (4ft) so I've got plenty of time to get everything setup before we bring the new arrival home (can't wait!)

I use artificial plants in my tables, some meant for aquariums, the torts usually don't bother too much with them when they realise they are plastic

I found after paying out for two big tables i had very little money left for proper reptile decoration. In the end i bought various artificial ferns and grasses from www.justartificial.co.uk
I managed to get 4 fake plants for around £13.

I tried fake plants in with my lot and they tried eating them!

Ishi had even managed to remove some of the leaves and tried to swallow them, not sure what would have happened if I hadn't of spotted him, took me 5 minutes to get them out his mouth lol

So I removed the lot!

Think I might drill some plastic plant pots to the back of their houses/enclosures and plant some real plants

Oh dear they really try and eat anything don't they lol......Thankfully the only notice my adult torts give them is a quick sniff as they trample over them, my hatchlings love them though as they cover under them for shade and security
