Hello All, So just an update on the tortoise house... she loves her ‘nest’ area where she sleeps. She loves roaming around down stairs and basking on the stone under the lamp (heat lamp is turned off for periods so that it cools). Tatty loves going up the ramp and roaming around up there and...

Hello All, So last night took my new lil rock to the vets and have to say, very very well behaved!!! Not in the slightest scared or trying to hide out in the shell, instead was being very inquisitive and wanted to explore :) The vet has mentioned a few things that I am hoping I could get some...

Hello All, Just an update on the tortoise table (Unfortunately have had family emergency so this had to be put on the back burner for a week or so) but we are now full steam ahead!!! I say full steam... We have just started today!!! I have taken the advise and am going to build a second level...

Hello Chris, sorry to bother you but know your a total tort guru!!! Picked up the beauty over the weekend but think the bum/ tail is swollen and being told it might be female... please can you have a look at these pictures and give any advise?! Many thanks in advance!!!

Hello All, Quick update... Given him/her a warm bath! Didn’t like the warm bath much... and then stormed off to his/hers house and put themselves to bed That’s a lot of people now saying that my supposed aggressive he/ pestering the she’s male tortoise is actually a female... so...

Hello, thanks for getting back to me!!! As I only got him late yesterday I haven't seen him poop yet but have given him some cucumber along with other bits and will give him a warm bath tonight, hope this will help him. Apart from this which doesn't seem to be bothering him he is very active...
