I just trimmed his claws and was looking at his beak and i am just wondering if he needs a beak trim.

Yes

Like a wheeze. Around 88 in his hot and 75-70in his cool

So my russian tortoise has a runny nose and makes a funny sound when he's breathing. He is eating well. Please help!!

Hi I have a 7 year old russian tortoise and I'm currently using coco coir. It is expensive and I was wondering if there was a cheaper alternative other than sand and dirt. Please help thanks!

I got this from Michaels

Yes, sorry I wasn't clear

this is a toy

I am disgusted and will NEVER look at petco or petsmart the same again

Lucky you! But should I leave him in there while I go to school or just in the summer when in around

Oh wow that's beautiful! How do you keep from animals from geting in? And I go to school when it's warm so I don't feel comfortable just leaving him in there when I go to school. Like what if he flips over or gets eaten

Not to be a burden but how big and what would the walls be made of and can I see a pic

Ok so I have an indoor enclosure for my russian tortoise. I live in NY and I would love to give him an outdoor enclosure but I'm scared it will get too cold or that raccoons or wild cats (we have many in my neighborhood) will dig in and get him. I need assistance and if there was a way to eat...

Munch Not to e a burden, but gravel isn't the best choice because with a tiny little tort like that, even if he/she eats a little bit it could clog up his/ her intestines. So changing the substrate to coco coir will work better

Ok so I have a Russian tortoise. He is roughly 6 years old. He is an adult. I wanted to go to a vet to get a check up just to see how everything is going and stuff but how much do they cost usually just for a check up? Please answer!
