He has not had any dandelions in awhile

Hello everyone. So for the past couple of days my Russian has has strange colored urates. The first time it was a slight pink. Which was a few days ago. Today it has an orange tint. He has a very varied diet and nothing has changed drastically from what he's used to. He has been high energy...

Hello :) would you be willing to ship to Illinois?

Thank you for the advice! His light is about 12" to 13" above him so not sure if that would be the cause. I will definitely try the coconut oil :)

From what I've seen, he's never tried to eat his fake plants. Maybe if he has he realized they aren't real :).

Hello everyone. So I've been noticing that on the front of my tortoise's shell, it's almost as if his shell is separating at the lines? It almost looks stringy in between the front lines, sorry that's the best way to describe it. Also, his face has these dry white patches. Wondering if anyone...

They are plastic aquarium plants! I like using them to make his hide look more realistic for him. They drape really easily over his hide.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share some interesting and awesome news. I recently built my Russian a 5 foot by 3 foot enclosure. He was previously in a 40 gallon tank. Now that he has been in his new home, his personality has come out! He's much more lively and eats like crazy! He has so much...

I have a variety of different rocks. The ones lining the water bowl are flat. You can usually get them from any pet store in the reptile section. It keeps the water cleaner because not as much dirt gets in it. The big "rock" looking thing is just a deep water bowl flipped over. And the small...

Here's a picture of mine I recently built. It's not completely done, still needs some decorating and lighting worked out. It's a 5 foot by 3 foot enclosure. Hope this helps a little! :)

Thank you guys! Here's an updated version :). Still working out how to hang the heat lamp so it shines directly down and not on an angle. I put some live herbs in there as well! I plan on adding more rocks soon too.

Hello everyone! I'm in need of a little advice. So I've had my Russian tort for about a year and a half now. I just recently built him a new 5 foot by 3 foot enclosure. Still needs more decorating, any ideas would be much appreciated! Also, not too sure where to put the long UVB lamp or how to...

Hello everyone. For the past day and a half my Russian hasn't come out from his sleeping spot. He sleeps under a big hollow tree stump (not real, I bought it at petsmart). I have to take him out myself to eat. He's been eating very slowly. Normally he eats rather quickly. Anyone know what this...

Hello everyone :). I have had my Russian for a few weeks now. I absolutely adore him! He has such a little personality. Does his shell look normal to everyone? Any info will help :). He's very active and seems very healthy. Thank you :)

Awesome! Thank you :)
