Thanks everyone. I really appreciate your responses. I suggested another tortoise but he cried and said never. Definitely too soon. He was very careful and he had asked and researched for him for 4 years before I finally brought home albert for him on his birthday. So I’m very sure he did...

thank you for your response. I bought some special electrolytes for tortoises, but I think he’s definitely died today :( my son is distraught. The vet said absolutely nothing other than they have given him sugar water and to see what happens. I can’t help but feel let down by the vet to be...

Thank you so much for this. I am hoping so much it’s okay. We have dioralyte but it’s a blackcurrant flavour! Lol I don’t think he could have that? Is there a solution I could make myself? I will go to 24/7 Tesco/Asda if there’s anything I could get? I’ll have a read of your link now We are...

Thank you. Is there anything I could do for this?

The rock is close to the light but not under it. How would he recover from this? We’ve put him in a cardboard box, with some hemp bedding stuff and drawn a circle around where he is to see if he moves (as per vet recommendation). Is there anything else I could do? Thank you for your input

I don’t think so, but I can’t be 100% sure! He said he fed him dandelion leaves last and that he ate all of them (apparently he doesn’t usually eat it all but did this time and when he does he mentions it and laughs that he’s in a greedy mood) and the planters he grows in are kind of close to...

We really aren’t sure! He was just kind of slumped on a rock, he had drool coming out of his mouth but otherwise he looks fine. No blood, no damage. The vet didn’t have a clue either. We don’t let him roam around floors, he has 3 different enclosures and they’re all kept clean. My son feeds him...

Hi thank you for your response! We’ve just picked him up from the vet and his neck has definitely retracted back a bit compared to earlier! That’s good I think?! My son is about to give him a warm bath, we bought carrots after seeing this but we don’t have any pieditye here. The vet gave him...

Hi everyone. My son has a herman tortoise, he’s had it for one year and I think it was 10 months old when he came to our home. He’s bathed it daily, foraged and given it fresh food daily (plus pellets), it’s a healthy tortoise but today he’s found it today after we came home and we think it...
