Look on this tread: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/thread-65952.html
She laid eggs for the second time only last February. Picture of me and my brother back in 76.

My own fault. I have this old bottle of the stuff that I use locally on the crabgrass, etc. It is not available in my area but I had it for years. Anyhow, everybody in the house is warned when I use it (turtle enclosure outside is off limit to any fertilizer, etc). However, I forgot to tell and...
Thank you all for your help with this. She is doing fine ;-). I've checked on her for a couple of hours last night and she fell asleep as usual. She does not appear to suffer any ill effect about her ingestion of dandelion that were sprayed with WeedBgon (12% 2,4D). Did some reading about it...
I will call tomorrow morning. She looks ok now and breathing normally but you never knows. It rained very much during the night and hopefully the product washed away somewhat. I have read on another forum that the use of Activated Charcoal could be used but then is the charcoal toxic to...
Hello,
Something terrible happen tonight to our red-foot tortoise. We usually never feed grass or anything that grows outside to our tortoise. Unfortunately, she ate some dandelion today that were treated to WeedBgone last night. She is showing some kind of health related sign tonight. She...
I didn't think about the bin. Just bought a topsoil bag, open it and put the turtoise on it. She started digging almost immediately.:D
I did use mineral oil to help her pass the eggs. I did pinch her tail for the first 2 to help her pass them. No sweat. The other came out without assistance.
Supplement once a week (reptocal/reptolife Plus) sprinkled on moist food.
Food: Dandelion, Aragula, strawberries, Rasberry, endive, banana (as a treat), mango, apple, all type of salad (except Iceberg), mushroom, sometime catfood (once a month or so), Dry bread (i know its not supposed to be...
Back in 2005 she had 4 other that she passed. For the last 3 weeks she was still eating but would not go #2 so I suspected something was wrong. Then she started to scratch her enclosure with her back leg (first time-not in 2005). I immediately knew why. I let her do it for about a week and then...
Shen has been kept inside all those year. From mid-April to late September, we put her outside for 2-3 hours a day on sunny days. She has a 30"X 4" enclosure. Winter time we reduce her food intake slightly because her metabolism slows down a bit (colder weather?). We never had any medical issue...
Here are the photos: 2 in 1976 (I'm the guy in blue LOL ), 2 X-Rays, the substrate I got last minute that work liked a charm (and cheap too) and a few of the turtoise.
She had 2 treatment 1 week apart (She layed 4 eggs the first time and the last one today).
Dosage:
Calcium Gluconate...
I would like to thank everyone who offered advice for my red-foot who finally layed her 5 calcified egg this week. She needed 2 Oxytocin treatment at the vet and all went well. Even tought the veterinarian clinic is not specialized in exotic pet, they were most helpful. I went to the "Clinique...
Mine had something similar to it, both side. After a while it did fall of. Vet said it was a form of Condyloma. I was given some antibiotic cream to apply in the affected area and it worked great. It was gone in about 6 days.

My red-foot doing fine. Eating ( 1/4 banana and some strawberry sprinkle with calcium). Went to the vet today to do another X-Ray and the 5th egg is still intact. I will wait another week before going back for another injection. Here are the x-ray photos before and after. I anybody want the...
My red-foot was administered Oxytocin yesterday and layed 4 of her 5 calcified eggs. What about the last one she is still retaining? When to administer the second injection of Oxytocin? And should we do another X-ray just to make sure it did not break inside?
She looks fine and eating this...
She finally layed 4 out of the 5 eggs. Total elapsed time is 1h20 for the 4. What about the last one? How long should I wait before going again to the vet for another injection?
1h30 after the 4th egg, she started to walk about her enclosure and did not show any more contractions. We gave her...
