Our 8 year old male Greek Ibera started making a noise this summer and not sure what it is or why he's does it.
He opens and closes his mouth when doing it and to me it sounds like a high to medium pitched croak. More like a frog than a bird.
Have you ever squeezed a live fish too hard? It...
How much will the average Greek Tortoise grow after maturity, and at what age is it considered an adult?

As best as I can tell the Variegata is a cross between the Aptenia Cordifolia and Delosperma. It seems that logically this cross of two edible plants would be edible but just want to make sure...

Thanks in advance.

I have also seen the thread about D2/D3 in alfalfa, seems like it should be re-categorized?

My family has a 4 year old Greek Ibera that has been living in a 2' x 3' ZooMed Tortoise Enclosure. I've known for a while that this was not sufficient so I finally decided to make something bigger.
I thought it would be nice to share my build and the finished product with you folks.
I'll...
