thanks for that but bits n bobs does not take herself/himself off to bed they just stay under the heat lamp its confused us alittle as we read some where that they need 12 hours of uv a day?

Hello

My lamp comes on by timer at 7am then goes off at 4pm, Teddy pops herself away when lights out. They seem to know its sleep time :) HTH Claire&Teddy

thats a problem for us she/he isnt very active well not active at all really to be fiar so its hard to work out when she setlling down for the night im not sure if its due to her moving home again and its knocked her/him off a little

How old is your tort? Have you recently got him/her? maybe try to settle?? I had mine since Nov so have got used to her movements. At first I was worried as she didnt do much at all. Now she is active, so active she keeps turning on her back, I have no idea how! So thats a big worry....Will keep an extra eye on my Teddy now.
