One of my female tortoise whom I got five months ago is pooping numerous worms along with normal fecal matter. One month ago I found two or three worms in her poop. I thought it might be because a food and is normal. 15 days ago I change their enclosure into a bigger one, the substrate I am...
Yeah he's lost 20g of weight since last month since he couldn't open his mouth he barely ate. Though I've seen him drink plenty in a day. I have started giving him mashed food now and strained water to drink.
Thanks for the help. I was thinking of cleaning the wound with betadine daily once and...
My tortoise wasn't eating well since few days. He couldn't even yawn completely but my stupid *** couldn't notice the wound at his right corner of mouth. I noticed it today. It looks black-red.
What would be the treatment for this?
Today I noticed that he pooped mucous, I noticed it because he wasn't in water at that time. It was transparent and had gel like consistency. I might have not seen it before as he might be pooping in water. I fed him cucumber day before.
Any idea what could cause this?

Bulbs: two basking UVB bulbs
One large heating pad for night
One plastic water dish
One plastic food dish
2 cuttle bones
One hideout
Pebbles and shells...
This happened for the first time and only lasted for 10 minutes. Nebula, started burrowing inside his hideout, not completely inside though. I have kept coco chips as my substrate.
I don't think the temperatures are too cold or to hot in the enclosure.
He dug for 5 minutes and then stopped and...
Could anyone share their Indian star diet chart?[emoji4]
Especially the ones residing in India as it'll be easier to know what's available and within reach.
Update: though Nebula does not sneeze anymore at any time of the day, he sneezes right after soaking. I am putting him into hot water for 5 minutes every morning.
Today he sneezed 5 times with no bubbles from his nostrils but little water from his mouth during the last sneeze. He immerses his...
