Hi everyone, not been on for a while due to being ill and Easter holidays. My tort is growing well. She's adapted a rather teenage like attitude to life but that's fine as I didn't get her as a pet to be handled. I prefer to watch and only handle when I need to weigh her or bath her or to take...
My tort is in a better mood today. After all I said she's back to what she was like when I first got her. She's actually wanted attention Today following me up and down her enclosure. She's been climbing and I've rearranged her enclosure and made some tunnels for her and she's shown real...
Wow those links are amazing. I am doing everything I'm meant to. But I think I might need to be more hands off. She/he does respond when I'm near tank talking and usually will wonder over. She has water dish with stone to get out, she has a hide I use top soil, I moisten tank. Goes outside when...
Hi
I need some advise. I have a Russian tortoise who is 7 months old and is female. When I first got her she was very active and quite socialable. This week she's been very moody and not very active apart from easting then she sleeps alot.
When she was ceryy active she would do things like -...
Oh no lol that's so funny!. Are you bathing Timmathina every day in warm water? She need a bath everyday and left in warm water for about 30 mins. Hope you find a prize lol. Oh and tortoises do eat their poo I found out the other day too. Houdini is doing really well thanks and she's really...
Oh that's a shame you have had to do that. I'm sure your tortoise is happy enough. Though I was thinking... You can buy these bridges that your able to bend into shape. If you get one big enough to straddle the log then it might be OK. I have added pic of the log I bought from pet shop. It's...
Hi
Wow that doesn't look good at all. I would take to see reptile vet get advice. There maybe something they can do to help. I. So sorry that this poor tortoise has not been looked after. Thank God you've got it. I don't know if this can be reversed but it can't get worse. Sorry if I've not...
Hi
How's is everything with you? Have you managed to stop your tort from flipping over?
Well houdini seems to have made her own routine now. She does as she pleases when she pleases. And all of a sudden she has stopped climbing her log. She now eats, sleeps eats, sleeps dig, sleep, bask, paddle...
Oh no that must have been very scary for you. I would have panicked if it was me. The log I have is curved and smooth. I have got a plank of wood leaning on it so houdini has a way up or down. I would make sure there is things about that will help your right it's self if it does it get into...
Hi
Thank you for your advice, sadly the pellets were put in before I realised and was told otherwise. I shall be changing it when it's time for a clean out. Houdini seems happier on the soil if honest it's more natural and loves to dig. Pet shops clearly have no clue apart from making money from...
