FAQs

What kind of reptiles is the PawHut Tortoise House suitable for?

The house is ideal for tortoises and other small to medium-sized reptiles.

How do I clean the enclosure?

Remove waste daily and clean the enclosure regularly using a reptile-safe cleaner and a damp cloth.

What kind of lighting does it need?

You will need to provide appropriate heat and UVB lighting based on the specific needs of your reptile.

How do I control the temperature?

Use heat lamps and a thermostat to maintain the correct temperature range for your reptile.

What type of substrate should I use?

Use a reptile-safe substrate, such as reptile-specific bedding or soil.

How do I control the humidity?

Mist the enclosure regularly with water and use a hygrometer to monitor the humidity levels.

Can I put live plants in the enclosure?

Yes, but ensure the plants are reptile-safe and that they won't be easily damaged by your pet.

Troubleshooting

The temperature is too low.

Check the heat lamp and ensure it's functioning correctly. Consider using a higher wattage bulb or adding a second heat source. Make sure the lamp is positioned according to the manufacturer's directions.

The humidity is too low.

Mist the enclosure with water regularly. Ensure the water source is clean and accessible. If needed, install a humidifier to maintain humidity levels.

The reptile is not eating.

Check the temperature and humidity levels to ensure they are within the correct range. Provide fresh, appropriate food for your reptile's diet. Consult a veterinarian if the issue persists.

The clear panels are fogging up.

Increase ventilation by opening the top slightly. Clean the panels regularly with a soft cloth and reptile-safe cleaner. Reduce humidity levels if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Assembly: The PawHut Tortoise House may require some assembly. Follow the included instructions carefully. Make sure all screws are tightened.
  2. Placement: Place the house in a location away from drafts and direct sunlight. The area should be level.
  3. Substrate: Choose a suitable substrate for your reptile, such as reptile-safe bedding or soil. Ensure it's deep enough for burrowing if necessary.
  4. Lighting & Heating: Install appropriate heat and UVB lamps according to your reptile's specific needs. Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature within the basking area and the main house. A thermostat may be required to maintain a stable temperature.
  5. Humidity: Maintain the appropriate humidity level for your reptile by misting the enclosure with water and using a hygrometer to monitor humidity levels. Some reptiles may require a humidity of 70-80%.
  6. Cleaning: Clean the house regularly. Remove waste, and spot-clean the enclosure. Replace the substrate regularly. Wash the tray and surfaces with a reptile-safe cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals.
  7. Water & Food: Provide fresh water and food daily. Place the food and water in accessible locations within the enclosure.
