Tortoise Travel Box with Heat Pack

A very useful travel box for small tortoises. It takes the worry out of transporting your tortoise and is also useful for vet trips, powercuts or other emergencies. The travel box is re-usable, so keep it handy and it will be ready to go any time you need it. The heat pack is a one-time use and should be disposed of responsibly after use.

This polybox is large enough for two tortoises in separate plastic tubs BUT the heat pack will need to be secured to the side of the box rather than the lid so there is enough air flow for the heat pack to be effective.

Please note this is for temporary use only and should NOT be a replacement for a suitable tortoise enclosure.

Detailed instructions for use will be supplied with the travel box, including heat pack instructions

The heat pack will raise temperature inside the polybox higher than the ambient temperature for up to 40 hours. Please be aware that the temperatures achieved inside the polybox are dependent on ambient temperatures, therefore it is essential that you monitor the temperature inside the polybox during use (Tip: poke the probe of a digital thermometer through one of the air holes into the polybox so that you can easily see temperatures without having to lift the lid off the polybox and letting valuable heat escape!).

Please note that heat packs will stop working when the temperature falls below freezing.

Please read all instructions on the heat pack before use. We are not responsible or liable for any injury, damage or losses to persons or livestock through the misuse of any heat pack.
