We use coir a lot for babies, if your supply has a lot of strings, you can quickly run it through a screen and it'll remove almost all of it. We found a local source that has almost no strings in it which has been nice.
I'd agree with TurtleSteve, looks like a typical Ibera or Ibera mixed with anything. Tunisians have a very unique look, only really confused occasionally with Libyan cyrenaica (which are much larger). Additionally, being and appearing captive bred, there's almost nobody breeding Tunisians in any...
We have had excessive wear when we tried using some curved roof tiles to start off a hide. As they dug around and moved dirt around, they were getting closer and closer to the top, which was basically concrete tile, and we started to see wear from that. We swapped it for wood which is safer to...
We've got a nice load of babies available, all captive bred. These can be purchased from our site directly at https://www.tortoisesupply.com/TortoisesForSale. Shipping for 1-2 babies is $49.95 for UPS Next Day Air within the 48 states. We ship same day if we have the orders early enough (before...
We (TortoiseSupply.com) have four Indian star babies available, about 3 months old now. Perfectly smooth shells and bright eyes. We've posted them to social media a couple times.
This is a type of greek tortoise and I would agree it's an early shell rot normally seen with red/yellowfoots. Scrub it with an old toothbrush to clean it well, splash some hydrogen peroxide on it, and rinse after an hour or so. Let it dry completely, and put Neosporin on it, and overnight the...
We have lots of baby testudo species, particularly greeks which are some of our favorites. We keep 8 different types of greeks housed separately to keep track of their ID, so we have many options depending what you're looking for. Prices change seasonally and with availability, but here's a...
Apologies for my extended absence from the Forum, I do want and try to get on here, but as was said, I get tired of arguing my beliefs against a few people that are set in their ways and disregard my direct experience in tortoise keeping, really don't have time to go back and fourth, but I'll...
Just catching up on this, I hadn't heard that this one was struggling until today. It's clearly not doing well now, but I'd like to see the setup(s) and start there, there's almost always something a little off in a setup when a baby doesn't do well like this. Personally, I'm not really someone...
Right now we aren't shipping to Canada at all, too many shipments get sent back after disappearing for a month, after we have refunded it, or a customer has called their bank and disputed the charge because of it, or they hit the customers with a customs tax bill, and half the customers get mad...

These adult Russians tortoises are originally wild caught and imported. Because of this, they have some minor dings and...
