Hi 4kids, I hope you are still having fun with your new tort. I just wanted to add my two cents in that you shouldn't leave the heat bulb on 24 hours since your house stays warm enough. If a tort doesn't cool down enough at night time it can effect eating behavior. Also, I agree with getting those pellets out as they are terribly dehydrating and they will mold after you mist to keep up humidity. One last thing, if you are handy at growing plants you might want to buy some seeds from Joe. He has a great variety of organic seeds of plants that are very easy to grow and the torts love. Torts really should be eating weeds if they can and the ones he has are awesome. In fact, when you get the tort table built you can plant them in the table as well. That helps maintain humidity and they can then graze which is more natural. Don't worry though, it takes a while to get everything dialed in. It took me about a month to get things stable and luckily torts are really resilient. Have fun and keep up the good work.
