    My family plans on moving to Scotland in a couple of months, and I've been putting in some research but am not getting definitive answers.

    Why wont my tortoise eat?

    When I got my first tortoise, he did the same thing. He wouldn't eat the lettuce, strawberries, carrots, grapes, or apple slices I gave him, and then 2-4 days later he was eating. The trick is to just wait.

    HELP!!!!! Redfoot whistling! Need some opinions!

    My Sonoran Desert Tortoise has always whistled through her nose, even while sleeping. So I don't know if it is stress or a respiratory infection cause I know they can get that, or maybe it's just her thing.

    Wild box turtle missing half its shell / injury

    I personally think you should just bandage it and add calcium to its food until you notice a change. Otherwise, I'd take it to a vet.

    Pine Bark sold as a good substrate?

    I'm not sure it was pine bark but my friends family bought some sort of substrate for their new baby Sulcata, and it got very sick.

    Not sure of the species

    Yeah, I wasn't so sure if mine was a Sulcata or not because she's 8 and is still 7-inches in length. I compared her to a Sonoran Desert Tortoise and they look so similar. So I'm pretty positive that's what mine is. I do give her baths twice per month but she doesn't change.

    My tortoise is not pooping

    My Sonoran Desert Tort, Roxie, isn't pooping either. She eats occasionally every other day in the morning but lets her other food dry out. She's also been really sleepy and isn't that active. Now I know that tortoises hibernate, but she's right by a window and gets sunlight about 7-hours out of...
