Reading Glass Tortoise
Help on Horsfeild tortoise?
I am currently looking to buy a horsefeild tortoise. I have read up on them but there is alot of conflictiong information on what to keep them in, some say vivariums, some say plastic boxing, some say glass boxing. also what do you line the enclosure with as I know they like to dig?
A wooden "tortoise table" is the best indoor accommodation.
A very large "Rubbermaid" type box would be suitable for hatchlings/juveniles.
Vivaria and glass tanks provide insufficient airflow and surface area to be a good choice for housing tortoises of any species, but the airflow issue is particularly important for Horsfields who are exceptionally prone to humidity related respiratory health problems.
An ideal substrate would be a 50/50 mix of play-sand and topsoil, but many people successfully substitute the topsoil part of the substrate for "eco-earth" type coconut fibre.
Please use http://www.russiantortoise.org as your definitive horsfieldii reference - it's an excellent, up to date and accurate site.
