    How is he progressing???

    Thanks everyone. I guess he is approaching a year so I will stop the bird vitamins. crazy1- if it was not for this forum and the help of you guys he would not be such a picture of health. Thanks for helping me through the very scary first few months. It was nerve racking he was so little. I was...

    How is he progressing???

    If I had a full picture of his table you would have seen his normal dish filled with nothing but greens. I do mix quite a bit of spring mix in because I buy in bulk for my dragons. He gets a plate of treats not very often and he eats such a small amount of it I do not worry to much. I could...

    How is he progressing???

    Thanks and he only gets a plate like that maybe 1-2 times a week. The rest of the time its all greens, cactus, dandelion, hibiscus and mazuri pellets.

    How is he progressing???

    Thank you. I really want to get another one but I do not have space for another table. I am not sure if adding a friend would be fine or better left as an only tort? When can I cut back on the yellow bird vitamins I add to his water daily?

    How is he progressing???

    Its been a while but some might remember Lightening McQueen my GG hatchling I bought November 2008 at a reptile expo. Without this board he would not be such a happy and healthy guy. I would like some honest opinions on how he looks now. He loves to eat baby food from a syringe. I try and get...

    New behavior, is it normal?

    Ahhh, good to know. I was wondering if maybe she was getting sick or something. She does look awfully relaxed when soaking. Thanks for the quick reply.

    New behavior, is it normal?

    My female ornate "Wallie" has started a new behavior. She has always stuck to her strict routine (one she made) but has not left her water bowl for the last 4 days. She spends about 5-6 hours at a time just sitting in there, when she crawls out I change the water and before I know it she is back...

    Tortoise's beak is loooong

    Hello, I live in San Antonio. There is a feed store in New Braunfels that has these huge metal (or rubber) things to feed horses in and they would work great for an apartment patio to sun your tortoise. They have one that is oval and over 6 ft long and 3 feet wide that I am going to put outside...

    Thanks! It seems I will never get another female. This will be the 4th supposed female I have got shipped.lol The other three I found a tortoise sanctuary for. This amazing guy was free though!! Very glad to have him even though he is a boy. He is a keeper regardless. I still will look for...

    When sexing a russian...

    Do you go by the tail or shell? I just got another full grown russian in and he is a positive male (suppose to be a female) but there is no mistaking. He has a very long tail and his shell is sunk in underneath. When I look at my other male who has a medium tail his belly of his shell is...
