    Hello There from the UK , so we have a new Tortoise , Trying to work out what breed ?

    They love a good soak, you’ll often find they’ll have a drink when having a little bath and almost more often than not mess in it too! Obviously you do what’s best for you (not sure if you’re a new owner?) but if you Google “Shelled Warriors” that’s where I have gotten my seeds and quick grow...

    Hello There from the UK , so we have a new Tortoise , Trying to work out what breed ?

    You’re welcome! I’ve not been online here in a long time but my “Tortoise Club” payment came out and I had an email so thought I’d best come on and have a nosey and yours was the first post I saw. Hope they (he/she) are settling in okay!?

    Perpetually underweight Hermanns

    Anytime :) After thinking about it a little bit more I think I’d do the same. Especially with how young he/she Is I don’t think there is anything wrong with overwinter this year being around 2 years old. If I remember rightly Georgie was 3 years old for his first hibernation. Again personal...

    Help please regarding possible toxic food.

    I think the toxin for humans is, as I I have read, is yes it contains the toxic compound, high consumption of uncooked green beans can have affects which some people are more susceptible to than others. But cooked properly is absolutely fine. If I’m honest I’ve eaten raw beans in the garden...

    Help please regarding possible toxic food.

    Thank you @Maro2Bear I think my initial thought was panic (as usual with anything :rolleyes: ) and came straight here ;) That’s exactly what I read from Tort Table a while back when we planted all our bits and bobs in the raised bed and all I remembered in the back of my mind was ‘toxic’ and...

    Help please regarding possible toxic food.

    I know young runner bean leaves can be fed in moderation but a small runner bean has somehow got into Georgies enclosure and I’ve just read about them being highly toxic and also extremely high in protein. Can anyone help with this or had experience? I am now panicking (as usual) PS- Our...

    :tort: Thank you! Where abouts (if you don’t mind me asking?) As long as it’s nothing to worry about that’s brilliant, so thank you. If the pink colouration is just colouration then that’s fine by me I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t anything to be worried about. And I’ve learnt something...

He sleeps in his enclosure, if it’s a nice day we let him...
