sometimes when i’m in a room i’ll let my tortoise walk around a bit to get some roam time, and i usually have one or two articles of my clothing on the floor ( i’m a teenager it’s a usual thing) and for months i’ve noticed my tortoise prefers to sit on my clothes then actually roam, he will sit...
hello again
i post on here quite often because i’m always concerned about my little guy, but he’s a year and a half eastern hermann’s tortoise, and well i haven’t seen him poop in a couple days, i don’t know the exact amount but i know he hasn’t since christmas day, i can’t remember before...
hello!
i have a year and a half old eastern hermanns torotise and i’ve noticed a white spot above his ear, that isn’t normal, ( i’ll ask pictures) not sure if it’s an abscess or skin, i will make a vet appointment as soon as it’s open again ( holidays right now ) but i wanted to see what...
hello! i have a one year old eastern hermanns tortoise and lately i’ve noticed only when he goes to bed he sneeze and i have heard some wheezing come from him. i’m really concerned and am convinced it’s a URI i already have a vet app set for his one year checkup but the problem is the closest...
hey guys i’m back lol, my tortoise turned 1 today !! he’s being as energetic as ever and even has started following me around the house whenever i have him walking about ( it rains a lot where i am and sometimes he needs to burn off some energy so i let him walk around it’s totally safe tho he’s...

A lot of ppl told me my tortoise would be stressed out if i took him camping and well, he is actually doing great and enjoying himself ! day 1 of camping went great, he did amazing in the car ride there and had a fun time running around in the grass of the campground eating...
hello!
Next week i’m going camping and i don’t wanna leave my tortoise home alone as he has the tendency to run around a lot and could get into some trouble as a hatchling would. it’s only for two days the ride up there is about an hour, i bought a carrier so he can be good during the car ride...
hello! my hermanns tortoise is about 8 months old and recently i’ve been hearing him squeak a lot more than just normal hiccups from him being so tiny, but he’s perfectly fine in every other way he does what he normally does so i don’t know if this is something i should worry about!!!
hello! my eastern hermanns hatchling constantly loved climbing the walls of his enclosure and occasionally flips over bc of it ( no matter what i do he still does it ) but he did it yesterday and now he’s been kinda sluggish, only really staying in the same spot unless he’s hungry, he was moving...
So my tortoise loves to climb anything and everything but often he will flip himself over, are there any safe options of things i can put in his enclosure for climbing, he also tends to try to climb the walls for hours and calms down when i take him out, he’s 3 inches in a 3 foot enclosure, i...
Hello! i’ve had my eastern hermanns tortoise for about 3 months now, he’s still a hatchling so he’s pretty small, for a little while now i’ve noticed he makes weird clicking sounds or almost like when you try to breath out with a stuffy nose but it just kinda click ? i can’t really explain it...
hello! i have a hermanns tortoise he’s small still and i got him new coconut fiber substrate, and i mixed it with his other substrate it kind of looks like wood chips, he loves the wood chips but i needed something to keep moisture in, so i got the new stuff, and i’m concerned that when he...
