I’m sorry but nearly everything in this video is wrong and can cause harm to the tortoise. The light should be facing down not at an angle, the cave area should be open or they will get too cold, the food given isn’t for horsfields they need fresh weeds and flowers only (see the tortoise table app for what is safe) and the substrate used can cause impact ion, top soil is best churned weekly and sprayed daily on top of a pond liner. You baby is so cute though so I hope these changes improve their life 💜

@Mitch JBP in a tortoise group i follow a tortoise recently died from digesting beech chips so they are more dangerous than substrate. I have top soil for mine and no attempts for eating it have been made

Their diet can consist of lambs lettuce, Romaine's lettuce, red leaves lettuce, spring mix etc, flowers and safe weeds. Dandelions are probably the best food out there for them. Lights can be faced on a slight angle but still provide a good basking spot unlike his. His lamp could be better though in terms of the cover thing.

I would recommend that everything gets set up at least 48 hours in advanced so you can test the temperatures and humidity throughout the day and night x

Btw, to the people who are getting a horsefield tortoise, they get 5x the size that they are as babies so just be aware of that :) (i have one btw)

That tortoisd looks like mine and I bought the him form that shop

i have a horsefield tortoise and the banana food did not work my tortoise is called shelby

I give my horsefield tortoise fruits, veg, weeds and flowers. The heat lamp should be facing DOWN and the cave shouldnt be to cold since their natural habitat is desserts and hot places

They should never be fed fruit and the night time natural temperature is cool.

​@@dozzio firstly the bulb. It's heat and uvb in one so when the bulb goes off at night the tortoise has no heat overnight. Them kind of bulbs also cannot be thermostated therefore will get far too hot. They are designed for big animal enclosures like in zoos e.t.c that close will cause skin cancer and countless health issues. Secondly the food. Horsefield tortoises should not be fed vegetables and stuff like that. They should be fed a 100% garden weed diet. Grass, dandelions, nettles to name a few. Things like lettuce, tomatoes contain a lot of moisture and no fibre this causes pyramiding in their shells and will eventually kill it. Tortoises do not drink through their mouth. They absorb water through their butt hole (to put it bluntly) consuming moisture through their mouth, like I said, causes pyramiding. Hope that helps

Can't watch eny more the music is killing me
