Hi everyone. Since I got Frankie (a Tunisian Spur-thighed tortoise) eight months ago, I've made it a habit to measure her size and weight once a month.
I use basic tools - ruler, weight scale, notepads and pens. Measurements taken are weight, length, width and height. I also do a fun imprint...
Hi Tom, I noticed up to 15 tiny white worms in Frankie’s poop today. Most were dead but about 2 or 3 were alive. The biggest was no more than half an inch long. Because there were so many and she has been a bit lethargic the last few days, I asked the vet to come see her. After his evaluation...
"I grabbed my tortoise and kicked the dog in the head" hahahaha this was me a few weeks ago when a lizard ran up to Frankie. She held her own though. Wasn't traumatized. She just hid in her shell until the lizard was gone then she was back out playing.
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
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.
