Alan’s third eye lids seems to have been out for a while now, and I’ve tried everything that’s has been suggested, I’ve changed his substrate to see if that was irritating him, nothing changed, I try to always keep it sprayed down, he has a 20 minute bath every day, I just struggle with keeping...

He really enjoys it, wasnt sure about the wood chipping at first but he loves them, buried himself completely in them every night for bed

He already tried to escape with minutes of it being in so it’s no longer there now until we extend the walls higher

Vet trip went extremely well, she said that he had come on loads in the past year, has gained a load of weight, is very strong, very active and seems very healthy, said the lines are nothing to worry about but just keep an eye to make sure they don’t get any worse and his mood doesn’t change...

It was brilliant for him while he recovered and seemed so big for him at the time but this past year he’s put on over 200 grams. My boyfriend recently brought a baby horsefield named Keith after becoming attached to Alan, having made the past mistakes that I have has helped loads in raising...

I won’t, I’ll just ask for their advice, thanks for the help

Posted a few photos, this was when Alan was in his cast and recovering This is the link http://www.petsathome.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/en/pets/vividarium-tortoise-home

I have booked him anyway as he didn’t make it to his final check up last year as I ended up having a stroke, I will take what they say with a pinch of salt as I have a lot more trust with this forum then most vets, will update on what they have to say

His current enclosure is around 3ft long, I’ve only had it around 12 months and when I got it, it was perfect for him recovering, by the end of summer I should have one twice the size and whenever I’ve had his asking spot hotter he avoids that area and will just sit in his cool spot or his water...

Sometimes reading things on the forum just panics me

Eating normally, pooping normally, very active, not going to take any chances tho and will take him to the vets tomorrow, even if it just turns out to be a general check up. Seems better to safe

Turned Alan over today to notice a very light pinkish area, can’t work out if it’s sepsis or growth lines? It’s very hard to actually see Russi

The one I’ve seen has like small stairs which would give him a second floor to climb, which I think he’d love as he doesn’t stop climbing

Is there anything extra I can do, am I doing anything wrong? Any advice helps

So it started back in 2015 I really wanted a tortoise for my birthday, so we went to the local reptile store, the man gave me all the wrong information, told me to put them in a viv and even said that they are communal so I brought two Alan and Brian, I was so naive and just stupid. I wasn’t the...
