Below you will find the equipment and supplies for housing mediteranean tortoises indoors for when the weather prevents them from being outside.
The tortoise tray sytem is an open topped tortoise enclosure with overhead bars for suspending the lighting. Their is a metal grid that can be fitted over the top of the tray (its removable) to prevent unwanted attention from other pets or small hands.
the system is on castors to make manouverability easy and the tray can be removed to transform the frame into an outdoor run.
Tortoise life substrate is a blend of soil and sand, the perfect substrate for Med. Tortoises, make sure you have a deep enough substrate to allow the tortoises to bury and dig. An important natural behaviour often not allowed by using newspaper or similar substrates is thermoregulation whereby a tortoise will bury itself.
The lighting, heating and UVB requirements are met by the all in one T-rex active UVB lamp, this lamp is suspended by the T-rex dome reflector that attaches to the tortoise tray system. Placed at one end this will meet the tortoises basking, UVB and light requirements. Instructions are provided with the lamp to ensure you suspend it at the correct height.
