I have a Russian tort, about 6", in cypress and coconut fiber in a big plastic tub. Eats and potties like a champ, heat lamp, UV bulb 12 hours a day. He went under for 6 weeks starting September, then popped out and we fed him a bit. Then he dug in again and seemed to go down for the winter. I...
No eating as yet! We are wondering if she has a piece of substrate in her throat. We’ve been doing the carrot soaks and she walks around. She looks at the food like she wants to eat it, but then walks through it to burrow. She used to eat in front of us all the time. When we put food out...
Tried the carrot soak today along with offering her some of what you suggested about. She moved around in the soak and then just tucked her head half in when I put her in front of the food. It’s been a few hours, she hasn’t eaten a thing, nor has she moved, she hasn’t even moved to burrow...
My husband took her to the vet and wasn't impressed by the care. He thought the vet would spend more time, but he was in and out. We got a recommendation for a vet who does reptiles (this one was supposed to). We've put everything she usually likes out, and nothing, we put her infront of her...
I moved the digital to the other end and humidity is still around 90%. The discs are just there for show at this point. She is 78 grams between 4-7 months. Feeding mixture of fruit and leafy greens (mustard greens, kale, mango,strawberry). We tried an egg, no go. She did fine the first...
Maybe we are not the most patient people. . She is less than a year old. 78g when she went to the vet on Friday. Pics of her enclosure attached. We had an all in one heat and uva/uvb bulb that we got rid of today. This is the set up as of today. Two radiant heat lamps and a uvb strip...
She did that the first few weeks and would regularly come out and eat after we put the new feed in. She would come and eat when we were usually at the table eating. About a week ago she because very sluggish and hasn't eaten a lot since then. We took her to the vet who gave her a vitamin...
it’s been at least 3 days now and all she does is burrows. We’ve finally i think gotten the heat/humidity right, but she doesn’t seem to want to go back to eating.
Hi all!
We got a new red foot tortoise about a month and a half ago. All seemed well until about a week ago when she became super sluggish, wasn’t walking around as much and was just burrowing and staying burrowed for the day. We took her to the vet and he gave her a vitamin shot and didn’t...
