Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Assemble the table if required following manufacturer instructions (if applicable, though this model appears pre-assembled).
- Position the table in a draft-free area with access to natural light or suitable artificial lighting.
- Add your chosen substrate to the main run and the hideaway area. Ensure sufficient depth for burrowing.
- Install your heating and UVB lighting onto the integrated lamp arm, ensuring they are securely fastened and at the correct distance from the enclosure floor.
- Add water and food dishes.
Compatibility:
This table is primarily designed for terrestrial reptiles, such as tortoises. It is suitable for species that do not require extremely high humidity levels or fully enclosed environments. Always research the specific needs of your tortoise species to ensure this habitat meets their requirements.
Care:
- Daily: Spot clean any waste and remove uneaten food. Ensure water dishes are clean and full.
- Weekly: Perform a more thorough clean. Remove a portion of the substrate and replace it with fresh, or perform a full substrate change if necessary. Wipe down the inside surfaces with a reptile-safe disinfectant or a damp cloth. The removable hide roof facilitates this.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the lamp arm and connections for security. Ensure wooden surfaces are kept as dry as possible to prevent damage.
