Hmmm, I’ve heard that in some cases, white lines are formed( especially around scutes) when either a tortoise is being over fed, or when they’re going through a growth spurt. Not sure if this is the case with your tort but it is a possibility.
Haha, it is pretty hard to find a suitable name. Yes, I do have a tortoise! His name is Alfie and he is an ibera greek tortoise. Stoney is such a handsome tortoise! Do you have to feed him a lot?
So sorry for you loss, like others have said, the cause of death was most likely due to the fact that he came from a pet shop. It really wasn’t yours or your kids’ fault. I’m sure your tortoise was lucky to have a loving owner like you!
Hello everyone, hope you’re having a great day! I am planning on building a new outdoor enclosure for my tort and renovating his indoor one. I was wondering anyone had any suggestions or advice about what live plants I should be included, what soil/stones should be provided, and what enrichment...
I’m so sorry to hear that! What temperature was the water that you soaked your tort in? If the water was too cold or if the temperature outside/inside was too cold then he might have gone into shock and that might be why he died.
@ZEROPILOT Yes, there are several other tortoise forums out there, but this one seems to be the most well known. I don’t mean to sound rude but may I ask what you meant by “That’s completely unnecessary.” I’m sorry if I offended anybody but please let me know if I said something wrong.
Hi! I’m a new member as well! Just joined today. Your tortoise is so cute! If I may ask, do you have a specific reason for naming Stoney? It fits him really well!
