I didn't intend to hibernate her she is doing it on her own and I dont no how to stop her. She hasn't eaten for 3 days and has taken herself to the cool part of her tortoise table. Can she hibernate like that and if she is should I turn the heat pad and basking lamp off?
I have a 2yr old hermanns tortoise and for the last week or so she has not been eating properly and some days I find her buried in her substrate in the cooler part of her enclosure, could she be trying to hibernate?
Thanks guys, my grandson is at home to keep am eye on her for me. While I was away I went dandelion picking,my great grandsons thought it was really funny, but it is her favourite. I feel a lot better now and hope she gets back to her normal self because the last thing I want to do is anything...
Hi guys has anyone here tried this food with their tortoises? I am trying to give mine a varied diet, she has all different leaves dandelion, curly kale to name a few, tomato occasionally, komodo pellets. I did buy some of the pre alpin food and soaked it as suggested and excuse my language but...
Thanks guys. My lighting and heating are on a timer. I was just worried about leaving her for 2 days with only fresh food on friday. I normally feed first thing in the morning and give fresh at lunch time so she always has fresh food. Am I just being silly. I love this forum and the advice you...
I have had my Tiddles for about 3 months, it is eating fairly well but I am not sure if it is suffering from stress. I have a tortoise table setup at home but I go to either my son or my daughter at the weekend. I am recently widowed, 6 months ago, so that is why I visit my kids on the weekend...
On the food question my 16 month old Harmanns tortoise loves her Kimodo Tortoise Diet Pellets. I give her a small amount in the morning, soaked and soft. I give them plus assorted greens. When I got her on 18/10/19 she weighed 83gr she now weighs 146gr. I do weigh her every friday. I was just...
So sorry to hear of your sad loss. My little Hermanns is 16mths old and I have had her for about 2 months. Even after that short time I would be lost without her.
Ok, I have just bought a 2tkg bag of the topsoil and mix but I think it needs to join the dirt in my front garden cznt risk the health of my tortoise. I will order a bag of cypress mulch. The ks for your input.
Not sure about navigating this forum but hopefully someone will read this and tell me if I am doing it right. My Hermann tortoise is 16 mths old. I am about to clean her table and change the substrate. It has the top soil and sand mix on it at the moment and I was going to change it for the same...
I have 1 lot of food from Komodo, 1 from Habistat and 1 from Step into pets world. I have fed Tiddles the first 2 but not the last one. I give them to her after soaking and also give dandelion, curly kale, rocket, water cress not all together obviously. I weigh and measure her every week. There...
Thanks guys I didn't realise how slightly complicated keeping a tortoise could be. Tiddles, my tortoise, loves the pelleted food you can get but is it ok to feed it? She does have other food but I don't want to put her health at risk.
