FAQs

What kind of lamp should I use?

Consult a veterinarian or reptile expert to determine the best type of heating and UVB lamp for your tortoise species.

How often should I clean the enclosure?

Spot clean daily, and do a full cleaning of the enclosure once a week. Replace the substrate regularly.

Is the tortoise house suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, but it should be placed in a sheltered area, away from direct sunlight and extreme weather conditions.

What kind of substrate should I use?

Use reptile-safe substrate, such as cypress mulch, or a mixture of topsoil and play sand. Avoid cedar shavings.

How do I access my pet easily?

The openable lids provide easy access for feeding, cleaning, and interacting with your pet.

How do I maintain the correct temperature?

The wooden lamp holder allows you to add a heating lamp to maintain the right temperature for your tortoise to thrive.

What is the warranty?

The PawHut Tortoise House comes with a 6-month warranty.

Troubleshooting

The tortoise house is unstable.

Double-check the assembly instructions to ensure all screws and connectors are properly installed. Place the house on a level surface.

The heating lamp is not working.

Make sure the lamp is properly connected and that the bulb is not burnt out. Test the outlet with another device.

Cleaning the trays is difficult.

Make sure you are pulling the trays straight out and not catching them on any parts of the enclosure. You can also use a small brush or scraper for stubborn debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Assembly: Carefully follow the included instructions to assemble the tortoise house. Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
  2. Placement: Choose a stable, level location, ideally indoors or in a sheltered outdoor space. Ensure the area is protected from extreme weather conditions.
  3. Heating and Lighting: Install a suitable heating lamp in the wooden lamp holder to maintain the correct temperature for your tortoise's species. Consider a UVB lamp for proper health.
  4. Substrate: Use a suitable substrate, such as reptile-safe bedding, in the living area. This will help maintain humidity and provide a comfortable surface for your tortoise.
  5. Cleaning: Clean the enclosure regularly. Remove waste, and spot-clean as needed. The double pull-out trays make this process easier. Wipe down surfaces with a reptile-safe cleaner.
  6. Water and Food: Provide fresh water and a balanced diet appropriate for your tortoise's species.
