If I do go up to see my son in Cardiff for the day I always leave the key with a friend/neighbour and he checks on them a couple of times while I'm gone.

You wouldn't think that getting a tortoise would be such hard work !!!

youre not wrong there

Im planning a holiday in November..........OHs niece has a MASSIVE list of instructions to come

That looks great Sam, why don't you use the shelves to make a house like this

then you can fill it with a good few inches of soil for her to dig to her hearts content!!!!

I had the same problem with my one of Horsfield's Hoji when I put them in their outside temporary enclosure - it was only pretty small and only had 2 hides in it. Hoji would constantly try to climb the walls and flipped over a few times. Once I moved him into his bigger enclosure where there were alot more hides for him to search and hide under he stopped doing it. Maybe if you put some more hides in, maybe some wood and other things.

Spot on! To be honest they have the odd nibble of the violas and the Hebe but never touch the heather. Buster is sooo greedy and will eat anything but he doesn't even bother with them. Give the heather a go, it's really cheap in garden centres at the moment, I got 6 for 3.99 at homebase and if it doesn't work you haven't broke the bank!
