Pancake tortoise habitat

Creating a new pancake tortoise habitat can be fun, and rewarding.  Planning is key to properly assembling any type of tortoise table, habitat or enclosure.  Anything can be used really, from Tupperware sweater boxes to aquariums or tortoise tables for sale.  Remember pancake tortoises are some of the smallest species of tortoise for sale in the world.

A baby pancake tortoise habitat setup is going to be reasonably the same however the parameters just have to be a little more “dialed in” so to speak.  A habitat for an adult Pancake tortoise should be no less than 2×4′ where as a group of 1 male and 3 female can exist happily in something 3×6′.  Our baby pancake tortoise for sale are raised in small 2×4′ closed containers which enable us to get humidity high and air movement low.

Pancake tortoise humidity

Baby Pancake tortoises for sale should be kept in high humidity.  We recommend anywhere from 75-80% for most all species of baby tortoise for sale.  Once your tortoise is older, you can dial back the humidity from anywhere from 40-55%.  Pancakes typically enjoy it more humid in the morning and dry in the evenings and late afternoon.  If you are using a reptile fogger system, use it once daily in the morning only.  Having your fogger controlled by the same timer as your lights works easiest.

Pancake tortoise substrate

Cakes can be kept in either potting soil, potting mix, or clay. Some Pancake tortoise breeders use excavator clay and build a nice habitat that way.  Providing a lay box is important if you have egg laying females, especially if you are using hard moldable clay as your Pancake tortoise substrate.

Pancake tortoise diet

A healthy African pancake tortoise is a well fed Pancake tortoise a wise man once said? Feed a wide variety of dark leafy greens and veggies.  Our pancakes here at our tortoise farm eat everything including collard greens, mustard greens, squash, bell peppers, romaine, spring mix, shredded carrots, tomato and more.  Mixing Mazuri tortoise chow into your chopped greens mixture after it was soaked and softened ads protein and vitamin D3.
