i have no knowledge of plants and flowers names! These purple flowers/ weeds? Have popped up in a large patch in my yard. Anyone know what they are and are they safe for my Russian tortoise to eat?
I have also tried Zoomed food which he didn't like. When I first got him I ended up buying some "all living things tortoise food" b/c he was losing weight and I was desperate. He seemed to like that, but it doesn't seem like its a great quality food? He is now a great eater as far as greens...
The description of the seeds is:
A blend of 24 broadleaf plants and clovers. This is a great mix for the Mediterranean tortoises (Russians, Greeks, Hermanns, etc) or those species that just don't care for grasses. This mix has no grasses in it, and does well in warmer climates without a huge...
.I have a 1 year old Russian tortoise and recently started growing food. I live in a cold area so until now have used grocery store greens. A few weeks ago I decided to try two small planters with seeds from Tortoisesupply.com, using organic soil. Within a week I had food! Right now I only...
I aim to soak my Russian Tortoise (about a year old) five times a week. My question is, if I see him drinking out of his water bowl do I need to soak him anyway?
Thank you!
My baby seems to like his neck to be petted, I start by rubbing his head and he will usually stretch his neck out (so I assume he wants me to pet his neck!) My husband insisted he didn't like it but I figure if he didn't like it he'd stick his head in his shell! I have also rubbed his shell...
I was given the Miracle grow aerogarden and wanted to try growing some salad greens (we live where its really cold so can't grow anything outdoors until summer). The aerogarden kit comes with the miracle grow plant nutrients which include pottasium nitrate, calcium nitrate, mono potassium...
What a great project idea! I'm afraid my sons tortoise just bombed...we tried without food first and he didn't move at all. Then we put some food out and he still didn't move. We will try again when he's more active, maybe its his bedtime!
His (or her) name is "Ninja" he's a russian...
Thank you! I will get my tortoise a water bowl this week, poor guy :( I was told by two people not to give him water in his tank, one who is very involved with tortoises so I assumed it was the right information. I did notice him trying to lick water droplets off the side of his tank the...
Thank you so much! I do have the Mazuri and the Zoomed but he isn't crazy about it. I will mix it in more and see how it goes. I will also order the hay from Tortoise supply and will look for the stuff from Oxbow. I work at a vet clinic (unfortunately one that doesn't treat tortoises!) so I...
