    Treated Tap Water

    Hey Guys-- We are going away for 2 days over this weekend, and leaving our new Greek alone. We have only had her for 2 weeks, and have been feeding her fresh greens everyday. She is an indoor tort, so we have our lights on a timer for when we turn them on and off daily, and I bought Zoo Med...

    Greek Tortoise Advice

    Ok--new questions. So far Penny is doing excellent, and since all of the controversy regarding her age is over (I have concluded she is between 3 and 5 years old), I have some new questions. At the age of 3-5 years, is she considered an adult (just because I know that the rules change from...

    Greek Tortoise Advice

    Greek Isn't My First Language

    Hey Everyone! My name is Meg and I live in Nebraska. My husband and I are now the proud parents of a 4-6 mo. old Greek tortoise named Penny :) and we couldn't be more happy about it. She had such a great personality, we had to rescue her from her tiny tank at the pet store (that she was...

    Also--I was told she is about 4-6 months old & I know that can be a factor with humidity.

    Greek Tortoise Advice

    Hey Guys! I am brand new to the forum and I am so excited to know as much about Greek tortoises as everyone else here seems to! The reason I am posting today is because I have done so much independent research to make sure my Greek (Penny!) is getting the right things from her habitat. What...
