    Oh Lordy! Another problem!

    Line the floor with some type of irritating material. Like a computer chair pad, but flipped upside down. Those pads have little rubber spikes on the bottom. That might not be what’s woks, but you get the idea behind it. The cat won’t stay if what it’s laying on is uncomfortable.

    Another crisis (Ants)

    It shouldn’t take long for it to take effect. I want to say 3 days or so, at least that’s my experience. Go over to the mound and stump around, you’ll know if it’s worked based on what happens next.

    Do you soak your baby tortoises everyday? If yes, how long?

    Great to see your moving the the right direction, I too was misinformed in the beginning about the ability to house two different trots together (cherry head and leopard) by a local shop. The members here were a great help in guiding me and probably saved my tortoises from a bad situation...

    Cherry head nipped at baby Leopard, normal?

    I understand were you all are coming from, it’s appreciated and why I ask the questions. it’s the same way with the saltwater coral forums, things in that hobby are very delicate and mistakes tend to be expensive. We get a little passionate when giving advice about subjects we’ve had hard...

    Cherry head nipped at baby Leopard, normal?

    Thanks anyfoot, It’s going to be awhile before I get another. My next and final tortoise will be a Burmese Star, but that’s years away. We are getting ready to sell our house and build our forever home which will have indoor/outdoor enclosures in my side yard for the tortoises built into the...

    Cherry head nipped at baby Leopard, normal?

    Thanks for the reply’s. Understood. I was hoping to be able to have both in the same area when sunbathing, but it’s easy enough to separate.

    Cherry head nipped at baby Leopard, normal?

    I got a baby leopard last week and the first time I introduced them my cherry head smelled her a few times then went to take a bite of her leg. I was closely watching them and was able to move my leopard. Since then, I have had them in the same area but I’m very conscious on where they both are...

    Survival blanket

    I was going through my hunting bag last night, changing out supplies for summer needs and I came across my survival pack. Inside those packs are survival blankets. I thought that it might make a good material for closing off the top of my tanks that I keep my tortoises in, its made to keep heat...

    Hello from NOLA

    Hi everyone, My name is Chris, I’ve been lurking for about a year now and have gained a lot of knowledge in that time. I am from New Orleans LA and have had my tortoise (Cherry head) for just about a year now. Her name is Itsy and recently my lovely wife bought me a Leopard. I’m still learning...
