Thank you Scott and Gaby.
This topic as well as humidity has always been extremely confusing to me. My question is, what is the perfect setup for humidity? Currently, I pour a bit of water so that it covers the bottom of the tub every morning. I use no substrate, but the bottom of the tub has been sanded to provide traction. Since the tub is both heated with a heater underneath, and partially covered, the water is gone by the afternoon. I don't know if this is sufficient for humidity.
As far as diet goes, what would you say is the perfect diet for a young tortoise? When I go to the grocery store, I always wonder if the more "wild" and "natural" greens at the store are good. Things like the very jagged kind of lettuce, escarole, and other greens. What exactly is the perfect diet? Should rep cal and herptivite be sprinkled on the food daily? How often should Mazuri tortoise chow really be fed? Would it be bad to feed Mazuri daily? What happens if Mazuri is sprinkled with Rep Cal and Herptivite? Will any bad effects happen?
Thanks so much, anyone that has input, please give it. This is a very interesting discussion.
