    Tortoise seems unwell

    Aww, poor little guy. I really hope he makes a full recovery. It sounds as if you are doing everything you can to help him.

    New owner

    Not sure about marigolds, but I know dandelion flowers are safe. My guy loves dandelions (stalk & all), petunias, & clover flowers (white & purple).

    New owner

    He is just getting used to you & the new environment. Our Sheldon did that too. Leave him be, & gradually let him get used to you. He will be fine.

    She is just getting used to the change. I bet she will be a happy tort in a few weeks.

    Russian Tortoise won’t eat

    I would suggest a nice soak (at least 20 minutes) several times a week in lukewarm water. Also, my Russian got more active when we made his enclosure brighter with a lamp. Finally, try aloe, collard greens in his diet. Good luck!

    Tort not eating and grayish tongue.

    Oh no, I am so sorry for your loss. She was lucky you tried your best to take good care of her.

    What species?

    Not a Russian, we have a Russian Tortoise, and he looks nothing like your guy. I hope you can identify the species, & give him the care and love he needs! Good luck!

    Pyramiding? Russian tortoise?

    We have a Russian Tortoise. Yes, yours looks to be pyramiding. You should not let it roam freely around the apartment. You can get a big Rubbermaid container, put substrate in It, with a hideout and some water. These guys love to (and need to) burrow (especially at night). We have a heat lamp...

    blood on my tortoise shell

    You need to separate them. It appears the biggerr one is bullying/ injuring the little one, poor thing.

    What tortoise is this?

    Aww, we have a Russian Tortoise, Sheldon, & love him. ❤️ I hope you find the owners, or can keep him. He should be soaked daily since he is a baby. They love to “hide” & burrow too, & need a heat lamp during the day, not too cold at night. We give Sheldon Raducchio, spring mix, dandelions...

    Advice on new baby’s shell, please!

    I wouldn’t put anything on the shell unless it was medically necessary. They are not naturally shiny.
