Also just a question. For anyone who wants to awnser if you take a Russian tortoise up a mountain what would it do? Cause I live in texas. Ebola might spread to where I live and I'm going up a mountain if it does. Help plz.

It smells terrible

My tortoise Shelly (the one in my profile pic) burries her poop in her beddings. Its easier to clean out cause she poops under her log. So I don't have a stinky cage! :) yay

Wow. So sad. Keep them warm and soak them in realy shallow warm/tepid water for 15 minutes 2 times a week. They really like it. It will calm them down from the tradgedy. (Unless their scared of water now)

I named my tortoise Shelly :D

Also a lot of things I didn't know about there. Thanks for the info!

I let her walk in my back yard. And I just found out that she just didn't have enough sunlight because I was testing and I put a lamp over her cage. She even ate from my hand then. I guess she's scared of the dark......

Just another question. Can tortoises get human sicknesses? Cause my moms sick

Thanks for the help :D very much appreciated. But I don't poke her much. I just knock on the cage to wake her up for breakfast

Idk how old she is, but I've had her for a year and she's a Russian tortoise. I've also realized I've been feeding her incorrectly. I thought letuce was fine. She wont eat the dandelions I picked up, and should I give her alfalfa to?

Yea but she won't lighten up. And idk why shes so sad all the time. She hisses at me when I let here out of her cage to let her play even when she sees it coming. I think I failed as a pet owner ;-; she also won't soak in the water I put her in. She just gets out of it

M My tortoise is being lethargic and she won't lighten up. If I approach her she gets scared and she won't eat when I'm watching, and she keeps pacing in the corner. What do I do?
