FAQs

What kind of lamp can I use?

You can use a heat lamp and/or a UVB lamp suitable for tortoises. The adjustable lamp holder accommodates various lamp sizes.

How often should I clean the house?

Remove solid waste daily. A thorough cleaning of the entire house should be done at least once a week.

Is the house suitable for all tortoise breeds?

It is suitable for many tortoise breeds. Always consider the size and specific needs of your tortoise before use. Check the dimensions of the house and compare with your tortoise size.

What kind of substrate should I use?

The type of substrate depends on your tortoise species. Research and select an appropriate substrate (e.g., soil, sand, or a mixture) that is safe and suitable for your pet.

How do I deal with odors?

Regular cleaning, good ventilation, and the use of an appropriate substrate can help minimize odors. Consider using a reptile-safe odor eliminator if necessary.

What if my tortoise chews on the wood?

Provide plenty of enrichment to deter chewing. Monitor your tortoise and ensure the wood is not treated with any harmful chemicals. You can consider using a nontoxic sealant if chewing is a problem.

Can I use the house outdoors?

While the house is water-resistant, it is best suited for indoor use. Outdoor use may expose the wood to excessive moisture and weather damage.

Troubleshooting

Assembly is difficult or incomplete.

Double-check the instruction manual and ensure all parts are accounted for. If needed, contact customer support for assistance.

The house is not level.

Adjust the legs or the surface the house is on to ensure it is stable.

Moisture is accumulating inside the house.

Ensure proper ventilation by opening the lid or adjusting the mesh wire. Reduce humidity levels by ensuring the heat lamp is functioning correctly.
