I don’t think so, I simply filled a container with very little water, as always, it only reached up to the plastron. Most likely when I picked her up to soak her, she was already like that. For me it was very traumatic—when I saw her I didn’t think she couldn’t breathe, I just thought she was...

Hello everyone, My Testudo graeca marokkensis (Vicente) passed away today. He was in his outdoor enclosure as usual. This morning I gave him a bath in lukewarm water, as I always do, and I noticed very unusual behavior. He usually runs around a bit in the water, but today he was running...

I'm thinking of mixing them now, but I might end up finding out they're two or even three males. That would mean I'd need to set up separate enclosures instead of just one bigger one. Do you think introducing them now would increase the chances of them getting along later, even if they all turn...

Okay, so I have to wait until I can tell the sex of my tortoises — at 7 cm, it's still too early to be sure.

Hello everyone, I currently keep two Testudo graeca marokensis. They are around two years old and measure approximately 7 cm. I’ve had them for a year now. At the moment, they are housed separately in a temporary outdoor enclosure, as I’ve read that keeping tortoises in pairs is not recommended...

Yes but I rememember reading somewhere that some comercial seed mixes are harmful for the tortoises.

I had read about this brand, but it is not available in Spain.

Hi everyone, I apologize if this thread feels repetitive, but I’m struggling to find a good seed mix that I can purchase in Spain. I found some old threads, but the links don’t work or the products aren’t available here. If you know of any good seed mixes for Testudo Graeca Marokensis please...

I just want to share photos of them today bathing, also if you have any name suggestions they are welcome.

Okay so the best idea is a raised bed for garden for each tortoise, set up lamps and all the stuff there and cover it with a greenhouse cover. But how I'm supposed to pour water in the bottom layer? Although the enclosure is covered, I'm not sure if it will be enough for keeping 80% humidity...

Thanks a lot for your information, Is really Useful. I was looking for ways of building my indoor enclosure, I will take a closer look on your guide soon. You think is a good idea to use a fish tank as chamber?

Hi tom, Since I’ve separated mi tortoises in 2 different spaces, should I soak them separated too?

Thank you Tom, really appreciate your answer. I read a lot of threads and your information is probably the best on the internet. 1. When a tortoise is no longer considered a baby? I'm going to check the thread and considerate all the options I have, I want the best for the tortoises. 2. Ok so...

Ok, so definitely I'll separate them in two different enclosures. Right now there are a lot of bamboo outbreaks growing inside the enclosure, I'm not sure if they will eat them or not. But surely they will provide shade and keep some humidity. Some photos are in a provisional indoor enclosure...

Thanks, appreciate your help. I thought is a greek tortoise but as I live in spain, It make more sense to me to be an hermanni. I have been reading these days about having 2 tortoises, I didn't know this could be a problem. The girl I mentioned told me she will give me a third tortoise, if i...
