Mavis has passed. I made the decision to put her down after finding out that she had a genetic growth problem that was causing her to grow at a rabid rate but her organs couldn’t keep up causing her immense pain. Thank you all for the help once again sending love your way. Rest in peace Mavy baby.

I really appreciate your say and i believe i’ve just learnt this the hard way. Thank you everyone for all the help and advice you have given. I promise it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Sadly we picked Mavis up from the vet and her so called stitches came out and caused the prelapse to reopen again. She...

I have read on the care sheets i was provided with from this website and made a various notes on it. We are just looking for as much input as possible in order for both Mavis and Rhiannon to have the best lives.

We have taken her to one of the best UK exotic animals clinic and all is well. She has been given pain relief and is undergoing treatment currently. We are picking her up once we are called to do so. I’ve submitted a form to the clinic about her lifestyle and how she is kept in order to get...

They both live in separate enclosures as i’m aware they are solitary animals. After having quite a stern speaking to with my stepmother they have agreed to do a lot better with the tortoise care. Thank you for the help!

Thank you very much for this kind response its much appreciated. I will focus on the enclosure a lot more now and have a few questions if you don’t mind. 1) What substrates would you recommend? 2) We are working on also giving them an outdoor enclosure with a lot more space to roam, would you...

My 5 year old female greek tortoise has what i can only describe to be a gooey, jelly like bloody substance coming out of her. We’re taking her to the reptile specialist but to calm my nerves does anyone have any idea on what this may be?

Thats what i do, i even scrub out the tub i use before i soak the other one aha. I feel bad for my poor baby but ive learned from my mistakes and im seeing her health improve!

Heres the size comparison between both. Both female and the same age.

Thank you. I will check it out now. I appreciate the help

Also the enclosure was built and designed by myself based off of research.

They are completely seperate. Cannot see each-other not have made contact since the separation two years back. I got all of my things and the torts themselves from a breeder that breeds marginated tortoises and greek tortoises. Theres also thermometers spread throughout parts of the table and i...

I’ve been concerned for my little ones health for a while now as she has not grown compared to my other Greek tortoise who is around the same age. She is five years old and only just bigger than a hatchling. I do not know if it is something to do with the bullying when both the girls shared an...
