Hello from Nigeria

Hi everyone and thanks for the add. I have a juvenile Tunisia spur-thighed named Frankie. I've had her for about a month and we live in northern Nigeria. Like other newbies, everytime I googled for help, I got this site so I decided to sign up. I look forward to becoming an active member.

Hello and Welcome. This is the best place to be for tortoise info and to have fun talking torts.

Welcome!

Hi

Hello and Welcome Dee!! Like your Frankie.

Hello, Deee, and a very warm welcome to Tortoise Forum to you and Frankie.
Have you read : https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/beginner-mistakes.45180/
and https://tortoiseforum.org/threads/russian-tortoise-care-sheet.80698/ ?
The last one is written for Russian's but care of your Tunisian is just the same.

Thanks for sharing. Yes I have.
Frankie does not seem to like cuttlebone. She will not go anywhere near it. In fact, I have noticed that she generally does not eat anything white. She would, however, nibble on anything red lol

Some like to eat cuttlebone regularly, some nibble occasionally, some will eat it when it seems that they need too and others won't touch it at all.
I scrape just a little onto the food once or twice a week so it gets consumed that way.

She will eventually eat the cuttlebone when she is ready. It's also good for her to bite into it to help keep her beak trimmed.
