I have found that my Aldabra tortoise also really likes it. If I give it mixed mushrooms with plants, it always eats the mushrooms first.

Thank you 🙂

Hello Everyone! I would like to ask, does anyone give mushrooms to turtles? I tried it, and my aldabra turtle really liked it. What do you think, if I give it to the turtle 1-2 times a week next to the plants, will it be good for it? I think it will eat mushrooms in nature if it finds them.

Last evening I closed the vent on the roof and partially the one on the side of the terrarium. I'm courius what kind of change will happen? :-) Thanks for the advice!

Unfortunately, he is no longer here. On New Year's Eve in 2022, someone shot a firework rocket into the window of the house, which exploded in the window. The animal was frightened by the explosion, and as it fled, it smashed the water heater with its tail - even though the heater was in a...

I really hope, he will outgrow this terrarium soon! :-) He will only spend this winter in it, next year will move to the end of the garden, to the "animal house". There, a six-square-meter terrarium is being prepared for him for next winter. When he has outgrown it also, we will rebuild it into...

Thanks for the link, I'll read it! Yesterday someone else suggested that I make the terrarium more closed, so I closed the ventilation hole on the roof and partially the one on the side of the terrarium. If it's completely closed, won't it get moldy due to the high humidity?

For now, the animal lives in the house, with us. He will get an enclosure in the garden for the summer, but I think I will have to bring him in at night - here it is only warm enough for him to stay outside at night during the hottest part of the summer. I have a house at the end of our garden...

The scutes don't move, and fortunately they're not soft. I tried to gently push them in, but it wouldn't work. The shell has changed in the month since the purchase, but the right side of the animal's shell seems to be developing more slowly as the left side do. I thought I would take photos of...

Thank you for the idea, I'll try it!

Thank you for your answer! No, I don't want to return it. The animal's problem won't be solved if I get my money back. I'm trying to provide the best conditions for it that I can, and hope, it's will be enough for the turtle.

Thank you! I'll try to do the best, as I can.

This is the drew of the terrarium:

The dealer kept the animal in a completely open terrarium (the terrarium only had sides to prevent the animal from walking away, there was no roof over it). In the summer, the dealer kept it in the garden, together with several Testudo graeca, in an open area. I have a 300 mm x 300 mm...

Thank you for your help! I brought the turtle from a dealer one month ago. Unfortunately, I don't have any earlier photos of it. The humidity in its terrarium is over 80%. I spray it with lukewarm water three times a day - at dawn, in the afternoon and in the evening. I bathe it in lukewarm...
