    Measurements, Size, Growth and Keeping Records

    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...

    Breakfast, my favorite!

    I have no idea. I sprinkle calcium on her food every other day regardless of what she's eating. I read on this forum that juveniles need it.

    Thanks for this. How important is it for the tortoise to be able to dig? Does it affect their growth or health?

    White worm in poop

    Thanks JoesMum. I queried the vet further and he said that he gave a vitamin B complex shot not a multi-vit so no Vitamin A, D or E.

    Tortoise leash and outfits?

    "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.

    Hello from Nigeria

    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
