Hey, I’ve seen Theodore wee in his bath and it’s usually a poof of white and clear slim/liquid. But today he did this. Now I know their urine is white and have read the previous thread on white wee, but I still don’t know whether this is a healthy wee or not? I feed him a selection of weeds and...

Ok, so it’s nearly 3 weeks now and we have had to move his table under the stairs because the conservatory was just tooo hot! He hasn’t mind the change. I’ve sewed some seeds and they are growing nicely. It’s become apparent that cucumber is a favourite of his so is now a weekly special treat...

Finally, after having Theodore for 1 week and 3 days he has started liking his baths which means he’s now pooing in there too! He’s relaxed meaning he’s happy to poo. I’ve never been so excited to see my tortoise poo haha even my mum was happy. He hadn’t pooed in roughly a week. Hopefully no...

So tomorrow will be a week since getting baby Theodore. I’ve now all 3 hides and made it so he’s got things to do and still walk. I’m waiting on some slate coasters to arrive so I can make his food area better. Today he had clover and rose petals and watercress with calcium powder. I must say he...

For sure :) he needs to get used to it because it’s going to be happening daily. I’m sure he will start to enjoy it at some point. It was he first time bless him :)

So it’s 4 days of being Theodores mummy he is beginning to warm up to me. I gave him his first bath today and I thinks it’s clear he had not been bathed much by pet shop because he hated it. Tomorrow I’m going to be using a non transparent tub to see if this helps. I’ve also put sterilised top...

This is brilliant thank you. I’m just going to do what I have to do and hopefully he will be ok :) thanks again. I just didn’t know whether I should just leave him alone for a bit or whatever first to get used to everything. I understand bathing is important :)

Thank for getting back yeah I have a log house and a corner house and a cave conected to the table. I will look into getting some plants so thanks for that tip. Thanks again

Hello all, and thank you for accepting me. I’m in need of a little advise. I’ve wanted a tortoise for years and 3 days ago I went and got a 10 month old baby horsefield tortoise (Theodore). He is so scared and makes a hiss noise (a deep breath in) when I touch his shell. I haven’t picked him up...
