Hi everyone! I `m from Sweden and saw your forum here in UK. I`m a member in Sweden`s forum as well, but wanted to see how you do with your animals in the UK. Pictures are lovely by the way! Maybe I can pic up a thing or two???
I am 36 years old and I love tortoise as you can se bye my username!! I have 4 Testudo Hermanni and 2 Marginata. All of them are outside now in the sun eating grass and flowers. Thats about all...

Diffrenses
I dont know if there is many discrepancys between Uk and sweden. A.C highfield isn`t he from the UK? We learn much from him.
We have open inside pens made out of wood. sand/soil in the bottom and palts and grass inside. I have seen that you have some kind of "white chips"?? on the bottom for your animals. Who about humidity? Doesnt the "chips" get dry in the nose? Otherwise I dont think we differ alot. The breeders in Sweden take after A.c Higfield, Holger Vetter and many otherGerman authors.

We also use Nutrobal the same as you do. For uv-light we have PowerSun or MegaRay. I think that MegaRay gives a better light.
You have very good looking outside pens in UK.
