Hi all,
I have invested in a new viv for Halloumi and she seems to love it.

I have not hibernated her this year. My question is when do they stop sleeping so much? Regardless of current time of year (I get she’d sleep more with...
Hi. I have attached a picture of my tortoises plastron. I have a very fussy tortoise and am
Always worrying I don’t look after them properly (big debate in my house over it being a girl or a boy!).There is some faint black marks at the top and bottom of my tortoise’s underside and some red...
