Hi, I am not a very experienced keeper. I would like to know if indian star tortoises lay eggs without the presence of a male around. Kindly let me know.

Hi Tort 1419, Sorry I don't know your name hence I have addressed you as above. Thank you for giving me some advise regarding bowl movement and soaking my toto. I previously used to soak my toto just for 5 o 10 mins. in warm water. Now I keep her soaked for a longer period of say 15 - 20 mins...

We soak her twice a week and she drinks water and sometimes pees in the water. Her diet is mainly french beans, lady fingers, lettuces, tomatoes (rarely) and cucumber. She is nearly 1.5 kgs and does not walk much. She gets enough sunlight.

My 6 year old startoto eats every tw o days only. However she has not pooped for nearly 20 days. It this normal?? Please advise earliest.

My star toto is 5 years old, kept indoors. Last 3 weeks she has not been eating/ She weighs 1.20 kgs & her carapace is approx 8" & seems to be a bit soft. She also has lost its sense of smell & right eye is swollen. She does not walk much. Pl advice.

Thanks for your advise, will surely get an x-ray done. Salvador

Hi Everyone, I am a new member of the tortoise forum and am glad to be in your community. My star Toto who is around 2 and a half years old has an injury to her right hind leg. This has happened around 6 months back. Due to this she hardly walks upright. She keeps dragging her right...
