Thank you very much. I appreciate the offer of support. My tortoise is very special to me, and I just want to make sure I am doing the very best by him. I have deleted the groups and I will just come here and ask in future 🙂

I was actually told in a very demoralising way that my tortoise had rapid growth and piramiding! There is no wonder myself and others have conflicting information when people are rude when you ask for advice, forgetting we are all newbies at one point. The set up and husbandry I was very...

Thank you. I am asking is the rapid growth he is showing okay? Is there anything I can do differently to change it, slow it down. He has calcium twice a week. I feed him the appropriate food. What would be causing the pyramiding please. I have correct lighting. Alot of the time he is under his...

So are you saying I should try eggshells instead. Making it more natural to their original habits? Does this include feeding too? Instead of feesing just leave the plants in there?

I know this is already being talked about, but I have had so much conflicting 'advice' . I know I have the right lighting and set up as a lovely member from here helped me. I am only feeding once a day no more than the size of his shell. I am adding vitamins and calcium to his food. I know he...

Thank you 😊

I have finished the set up how you explained. So I have the CHL then the uv then the basking lamp. I think I am manging to get about the right temperatures. I also put a little water in each corner when it looks to dry in there. I do keep turning the substrate over. I thought the humidity had...

No signs of a wet nose or eyes. He is moving around okay. I will keep an eye on him.

He has eaten his breakfast and has gone back to hos favourite place to sit. I haven't heard it again

I have only noticed it twice. Once today and once last week. I am bathing him everyday and I haven't noticed any of these other things. Is it worth me just taking him to the vets anyway? Problem is I'm not so confident with them.

Morning I have noticed when my Horsefield is eating he will make a churping type squeek noise. It isn't evertime but I have noticed twice. Is this a sign of something wrong, maybe a infection?
