I am getting a Herman tortoise for my birthday and were trying to figure out if we can use this cage as a setup? Our problem is figuring out how to attach a uv light and a heat lamp in a sufficient way! Ideas please!!! | |

Helo, Be sure that your tort. is bought from a breeder - click on the box titled "Buying a Tortoise / Torts. For Sale." A breeder will give you all the advice you need & your tort. will be healthy. If it is bought from a dealer / exotic / pet / trader / centre, there is a good chance that it will not be healthy. The best place for your Hermann whether 2 weeks or 2 years of age, is outside, in half decent weather. A UVB bulb is not needed 'til mid September. Best wishes, Tom | |

Hi , so is the cage suitable to use , the top half is clear plastic with the grill in the top so it will be ventilated ??? Also does the UVB need to be at the top of the cage or along the side as we have seen different set ups ??? | |

No, that is not a suitable place for a tortoise. You will need a tortoise table. Take a look at this: http://www.tortoisetrust.org/articles/Tortoisetable.htm | |

Look at the indoor rabbit cages with the mesh tops there on ebay from £30 up depending on size | |
