Hello, I am getting a baby tortoise for my fella this weekend for his birthday, I know everything about them apart from one thing...what do they like to sleep in/on???

[dustypuss]

they like to sleep in a hole or under cover . as to what they like to sleep on they flop where they drop

Isn't it time for tortoises to hibernate. If it's only a baby you might have to keep it indoors in the warmth and keep it awake, as it is unlikely to have put on enough weight to hibernate. Next winter, I would suggest you contact a vet to get it weighed to see if it is heavy enough to hibernate. If it is by then, it should sleep in a hay lined sturdy box, in a cool place, but not where frost can get at it. You will need to check on it from time to time, as they can wake up if the weather turns warmer, but they usually wake up in the Spring. Hope all goes well.

I have got a vivarium for it whilst it is young so it will not be hibernating until it is older

As for you dick licker, get a life you moran and hurry up and jump off that skyscraper...what a **** lol

These sites should help, dont use straw, as it contains mites that can cause disease, I believe silver sand is used in vivariums, but would ask the breeder for advice.

Hello, my two like to sleep in terracotta (?) plant pots.
You know the type that you hang on the wall and are flat on one side? Usually they get themselves in there each night. Sometimes the male just sleeps where he is but normally he goes to bed.

Let me know how you get on!

please please NOT a vivarium! the humidity gets too high and gives them infections
