Hi,
I have read many of the posts on similar topics, but wanted to get feedback just in case.
My 2 yr old hermann, Peanut, has been slightly less responsive than normal the past two days, but no other symptoms. Today we found him submerged in his bath. Usually he stays in the shallow end, but...
Hi :)
Due to some career changes, we are considering the possibility of moving to another country. We have a hermann, around 10 months old and I was wondering what the process would be to move your tortoise to another country. (I'm in the US and we are considering countries in East Asia)
We...
Thanks @Golden Greek Tortoise 567 @1289Gabe !!
He has a cuttlebone in his enclosure which he rarely touches. He also gets a mix of:
1. Zoomed's Repti Calcium - a pinch once a week with mazuri
2. Zoomed's Reptivite - a pinch once a week with mazuri.
Are there other sources of mineral? Also...
Hi guys,
I posted this video of my tortoise before: back in May.
He's still trying to bite on to the side of his food plate (slate) or rocks in his enclosure. These rocks are twice the size of his body but he keeps trying to take a bite of it. I catch him doing this 2-3 times a week.
I'm...
What is considered to be a reptile safe disinfectant? I'd like to clean his table with something more than hot water, but I'm hesitant to use soap or other detergent.
I'm so sorry. CVS has posted locations where expanded testing is being offered. You have to register in advance to schedule an appointment.
I don't know if any of these locations are near you but here's the link: https://cvshealth.com/covid-19/testing-locations
I have purchased the Broadleaf Tortoise Forage Blend from etsy 3 times, and I seem to end up with mostly chicory.
My tortoise loves clovers so I was looking for clover seeds and came across the Buck Forage Plot Mix Seeds, also on etsy. The webpage states that the Buck Forage Plot Mix contains...
Thanks. We've placed the cuttlebone in that corner but he seems to bite at all parts of the slate board.
I'm still watching for any other strange habits. He's been snapping at it and eating his substrate (coco coir) so we're making sure he's getting enough vitamins.
Here's a video of how he's biting. He's snapping so hard, I'm afraid he's going to hurt himself in the process.
Every time we see him do this, we've moved him to a different section of the enclosure and he forgets about it for awhile. We catch him doing this more than 3 times a day.
Could...
Hi all- Hope you're having a good week :)
Our baby hermann has been biting/snapping on the edge of the food plate, which is a slate cheese board. It's biting on it hard enough that I can hear it snapping.
I haven't seen it bite on anything else. We have a couple cuttlebones which he's never...
I posted some questions about lighting and based on it we made some changes to our enclosure. I was hoping to get your thoughts on the lighting positions.
We are using two combos, but there are only 1 ceramic heat emitter bulbs in each (one 100W and one 150W). We have this set up with this...
