Yes, the vet indicated cutting the plastron. So, thank you for sharing this! I am going to call some other vets and see if anyone has experience with this less invasive procedure.
Thank you for sharing! She did indicate needing to cut the plastron. I will call around to see if other vets in the area may be familiar with this less invasive procedure.
I took Ruby (female redfoot) to the vet yesterday for a swollen right eye that persisted for a few days. I am in Boca Raton, Florida. I went to Broward Avian and Exotic Animal Hospital. Turns out poor thing had some grass stuck in there. Luckily, it was caught early, and there is no damage...
About two years ago, I rescued two redfoot tortoises who had been living in a small box. Since then, they’ve been thriving outdoors full-time and have grown so much! They had pyramiding when I adopted them, but it has improved with more growth. I originally thought they were both females, but...
Thank you! Yes I am concerned about them being a pair. They both eat well and have their own spots they prefer to hang out. I rescued them together a little over a year ago. I’d like to get another 1or two rescues at some point to help make bullying less likely.
I wanted to share my outdoor enclosure for Ruby and Jade. I used raised bed planters that I found on facebook marketplace. I am looking to build a better night box but this one is a chicken coop from Chewy that I rigged up and has been working well so far.
Hi I am in West Boca. I would love to connect. I have 2 females I rescued last year living outside full time, and they are about 3 years old. I'll send you a message.
