Hi guys!
It’s been a hot minute since I was last ever on this forum, hope all is well. For the most part once you sort everything and understand stuff looking after the tortoise isn’t “as difficult” so I’ve not needed to come on here much.
Herman is doing great for the most part, yes he...
I dropped my tortoise from a height...
So, I picked him up and my tortoise is strong asf so he kinda pushed my fingers off but like launching himself, I kinda broke his fall like near the floor by catching but also not bc he also fell OUT of my hand and then landed on the top of his shell.
NOW...
Hey guys! So I need help figuring out what to do with this tortoise and his enclosure.
(for reference herman is like 2 and a half years old now. Im not too sure the guy was not specific when he sold me him but I bought him when he was 1)
Currently he has a vivarium with these dimensions, Length...
last time he was taken to a vet, nearest vet is 1 hour away and they were VERY ROUGH. I used AI for once, gave everything and it suggested my humidity levels being low could be the issue. it has been 20-30% humidity so ive boosted it to 60-75% today, ill keep ontop of it for 18 days as I have 18...
the only thing is, he is not lethargic nor releasing ANY nasal discharge. He has had it a while so surely they would have affected him by now? He eats a LOT, is active and yeah
I’ve been at work for 7 days (12 hours so he is always asleep) I managed to pick him up yesterday before his lights went off just to check on him and he still had his squeak
He sleeps on the cooler side 95% of the time, he has twice in the last month or two slept under the che.
I’ve not seen any nasal discharge, I barely ever see him yawn I think I have 5 times in total of owning him and it’s in the morning usually. He eats, sleeps, poops and yeah seems alright...
Hey guys over the time I’ve owned him I’ve said this a few times but I just need to ask.
Cool side has been boosted to 29 degrees c, and under heat lamp it’s 37 degrees c (well hot side anyways).
He always gets it after a bath for like 8 full days but this one has lasted like 3 weeks, yes I’ve...
Sorry, if you zoom into the actual hole itself you can see his poo keep poking in and out like he nearly pooped but sucked it back in.
He eventually did poop in the bath and it’s bc I found parts of his substrate in it lol. Bro js stupid
Hi people!
Before my 5 days at work I wet up Herman’s vivarium and went away, my parents fed him etc but I didn’t interact at all for 5 days.
During coming back his vivarium oddly stinks, it’s not super strong but when I opened up it and then got close u can smell it, it kinda smells like an...
