FAQs

What kind of lamp should I use?

Use a heat lamp designed for reptiles, appropriate for the size of the enclosure and the specific needs of your tortoise. Consult a veterinarian or reptile specialist for advice.

How often should I clean the enclosure?

Clean the enclosure, including the trays, at least once a week. Spot clean as needed.

Can the enclosure be used outdoors?

Yes, the enclosure is suitable for outdoor use. However, ensure it is in a secure location protected from predators and direct harsh weather.

What type of substrate should I use?

Use reptile-specific substrate. Appropriate options include cypress mulch, coconut fiber, or a mix of both. Avoid substrates that can be easily ingested.

How do I control the temperature?

Monitor the temperature using a thermometer placed in the enclosure. Adjust the heat lamp's distance or wattage to maintain the ideal temperature for your tortoise's species.

Is assembly difficult?

The enclosure requires assembly. Follow the instructions provided with the product. If you have any difficulties, contact customer support for assistance.

Troubleshooting

Tortoise seems stressed or inactive.

Check the temperature and humidity levels within the enclosure. Ensure the heat lamp is functioning correctly. Provide a more private hideaway if necessary.

Difficulty in cleaning the enclosure.

Ensure the slide-out trays are fully removed when cleaning. Use a mild reptile-safe cleaner and rinse thoroughly.

Heat lamp not working.

Check the bulb and replace if necessary. Ensure the lamp is properly connected to the power source. Check the lamp holder for any damage.
