    Advice on coco coir

    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.

    Can someone identify this tortoise?Is it a hybrid or not?

    This is definitely a Greek, not a hermanns, likely a Middle Eastern terrestris.

    Possible Tunisian?

    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...

    Wear and tear or shell damage?

    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...

    Species and health!

    My vet years ago sent me home with that, but Neosporin worked better and quicker, it's a very fast fix.

    Species and health!

    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...

    Yearling Testudo graeca ibera, "Ankara" locale

    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...

    Hatchling Russian not thriving...

    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...

    "Testudo Mix"

    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...
