Hello! I have a 2 year old Russian tortoise. He currently lives in a zoo med enclosure but he has been full grown for a while now and it is too small. We were working on getting a custom enclosure made but that fell through so I’ve decided to make one myself. I was wondering the minimum...
I agree with you! The glass thing is not a myth they cannot see it and although they may not get seriously injured from walking into it it’s still not good for them! I have a similar enclosure and my tort loves it (he’s growing out of it so we are going to expand it some) but WOOD IS BEST it’s...
Before the zoo med drops I didn’t have drops to give him but with the zoo med ones I held the bottle above his eye so it didn’t touch it and let a drop roll down into his eye
I mist his substrate daily and I sometimes mist my tort if I haven’t soaked him as much as normal. Diet and soaking frequently should definitely keep him hydrated but as far as I know as long as the water and mister is clean and has no chemicals or anything in it it will do no harm! :)
Hello you should definitely research and probably get advise from more experienced tortoise owners then myself but I figured I would respond anyway. I’ve had a tort for a year and a half now I’m not sure what it could be but one thing could be calcium. Proper calcium and uv lights are one thing...

Hello I have had my Russian tortoise koopa for over a year now the past week or so he has been eating less and being very inactive. He has also not been pooping for a few days I’m starting to worry and have soaked him (he always poops plenty in the bath) but this time he isn’t at all. I’m not...
Thank you! I only give him a little for a treat sometimes good to know it’s ok for him. Yes we grow are own roses with absolutely no chemicals it’s good to know he can have those!!
So I have been giving Koopa Cucumbers and I’m pretty sure that is alright but I just like to double check. I also saw somewhere that roses are ok for them to eat and I was curious about that so that’s all he is a Russian btw so let me know about these foods thanks!!
