The vet gave me this stuff to put on her food and medicine for her nose. She said she should be ok if we can get her to eat. She ate A LOT last night and she's eating now. Her nose seems like it wants to close also. It looks and I hope that we are on the right track. I'm hopeful and a big THANK...
Trust me...I'm going to go by the guides yall linked. I've only dealt with the 3 local turtles (box, painted and snapping) and theyre pretty basic. I will be changing my uvb. I have a couple different ones around here somewheres. Right now all my attention is going to getting her well. That...
I feel so ashamed. The vet said it was probably due to malnutrition and that it was probably stunting her growth also. She gave me medicine to put on her face twice a day and this stuff to rub on her food. I feel like a bad parent. I will do better though. Any help along the way will be greatly...
Leopard tortoise is a desert species and I put her in the water all the time. Where I live is very high humidity anyway. I live on a peninsula. The town I live in is Willis "Wharf". I could throw a ball and hit water. There is no lack of humidity. SweetPea's front legs are bulky and armored...
Whats the purpose of posting this? I'm not that green and clueless. I know most of this. I've had her for nearly 2 years without a hitch and she's always been a happy little girl. She has access to plenty of water.
I can move her back to her large enclosure that Ive had her in. Here's a pic of what I put her in and she decided to come out for the picture lol and a picture of the bulbs I'm using with this tank.
She's never had any problems before of any kind. She's just been a happy little tortoise. Never had any problems with her face, skin, shell or anything. I'm hoping that this was just a freak acurance and she'll be alright and maybe that she's just a runt. She's always been perfect in every...
This is the enclosure I've had her in her entire life although I've just moved her into a 10 gallon tank. I can post a pic of that if need be. I had a long piece of slate in her enclosure that served as her feeding plate but I removed it before I took the pics and broke it so that I would have a...
It's a spray. You spray it on their food.
She normally looks and seems like a happy lil gal. I've dealt with turtles all my life but this is my first tortoise. I was in contact with the hatchery that sold her to me and they said she was hatched shortly before I got her about 2 years ago at the...
I wasnt sure if I should do this where she's ill and all but I went ahead and moved her into a 10 gallon tank. She's just a walkin around and checkin things out like new life got into her. She even looks better. Does my heart good.
Should I feed her where she has a hole in her face because she's acting hungry or should I wait until after we go to the vet tomorrow? I'd for her to go hungry :(
The temperature the eggs are kept at determines the sex and I was told I should have received a female although it isn't 100 percent right all the time. I've been thinking about putting her in a 10 gallon I have. I might just do that.
