Anyone?

By lawn I mean dirt spread on the ground lol

when I watch her closely, I let Petey petunia walk around the lawn. But she has become obsessed with trying to eat the dried dates from the annoying date trees in my yard. Obsessed with them. And it’s basically impossible to avoid. So I am wondering whether or not I actually need to stop her or...

She is perhaps being a little bit more fussy than normal. I was thinking maybe maybe reintroduced her to the outdoors too quickly though. But everything is pretty normal lol. Except for me. I’m abnormally anxious about everything 🤩 Thank you.

Hello, petunia is a yearling Mojave desert tortoise. She has been sting normally, except today really didn’t want to come out. She did not Brumate this year. I was examining her, and there is this Seam for lack of a better word on the bottom of her shell it’s white with like red in the middle...

Hello, looking for the Brumation care sheet (especially for 13-14month old Mojave) . The above link doesn’tt mention much about brumation. I know it’s somewhere …

I appreciate that, thank you. Indeed it also came with lots of rubbing and clear indication that she couldn’t see ou of it. I’m starting to think it was truly the terrible substrate I chose to try. Well at least my indoor house plants like it. Because I have a lot of it.

Also newzie…hello Summerlin neighbor! Crazy week for weather. I got some amazing pictures of rainbows over Red Rock though

I am not trying to take any visibility away from your question, I hope you don’t mind that I ask Yvon a quick one here Yvonne, I also live in Las Vegas, but I have one desert tortoise yearling (12-14 months). Set up is indoors, it seems no matter what temperature I change it to or what I do, she...

I still need advice! So last time I told yall her went down right away. Her eye got real swollen again and she was rubbing it, the other one was a bit irritated too. And she was making the wet rubber noise. Once AGAIN the irritation then just disappeared. Do they have some mechanism that...

I am gonna postpone. She had really been fighting being awake though. I fed her a little so she could get some nutrients anyways… poor thing wasn’t completely spoiled for 2 weeks for no reason! I think I’ll switch the substrate too and eliminate at least one variable. Is there an ointment I...

*** i see other posts about swollen eye that I am reading through currently. If there’s one in particular I should see please direct me to it **** I was literally prepping petunia for brumation to start tonight when I noticed that her right eye is very very swollen! I had kind of pulled a hair...

Hello, thanks you two for y’all’s quick response and reassuring reply. There are a couple more details that I just wanted to add on since I could see them maybe being important. Unfortunately they inhabit opposite “sides” for reasons regarding her recent behavior. Addition 1: A couple weeks...

Thank you. Also so sorry that my message is fright with typos I swear I edited it. 🥲 Should I stop trying to wake her up every day with a bath? Also, she spends most of her time indoors. Can she still tell the temperature change in the house? Also she really is only eating the tortoise...

Hello everyone, I am trying to determine if petunia, a Mojave desert tort who likely just turned one in the past few weeks is ill or if she is trying Brumate a bit early. Living in Vegas, and this past week, there was a cold spell: high nineties and triple digits replaced with averages in...
