I just noticed when I checked him on a cam, that this is how he eats. Do you think it's possible that it's bruise from his terracota saucer? Do I need to replace with something else?
Thank you for the answer. I am using peat moss because it was recommended to me by the keeper I got my tort from. Should I mix in some topsoil to make it "less potent"? Also, if it is a shell burn, is there any treatment for it?
About the age - the cites documentation says the little fellow...
Hi,
One day after soaking, I noticed some sort of discoloration on the belly of my young hermann's tort. Is this shell rot? I keep him in a closed chamber enclosure with ~80% humidity. For substrate, I use mix of peat moss and orchid bark.
In terms of behavior, there is no change. He's eating...
Hi,
today I added a new enrichment piece to my western hermann's baby enclosure and it seems to be enjoying it a bit too much. Is this still safe or should I take the piece away?
Thank you,
