Tortoise starter kits contain everything you need to give your tortoise a comfortable home. We sell a variety of Tortoise starter kits including both kits made by Swell and those made by other manufacturers. Each Swell tortoise kit is different but they all contain an enclosure for your pet (either a tortoise table or vivarium), heating (such as a heat mat 0r heat bulb) and substrate. The other tortoise starter kits we sell from other brands may differ in their contents. Despite some advice often given on out-of-date care sheets, it is really important to be aware that tortoises drink and do need a fresh supply of drinking water to be readily available at all times. A shallow water container will be required and for the new baby tortoise, flattish pebbles should be placed in it to prevent the hatchling from upturning and drowning. Flattish stones arranged around it will help prevent the tortoise trail soil through the water dish. Knowing exactly what environment to create for your tortoise can be difficult, and depends very much on what species of Tortoise you are caring for. In some cases, you might need a tortoise tank, while in others you'll need a tortoise table. To help you find the right products and get started we sell a range of Tortoise starter kits, including Tortoise table starter kits. What are Tortoise starter kits?
