    Feeling worried about my turtles health

    I move her out and put her in her soaking bowl, and she seems to enjoy it, but I feel like if I don't do that she won't do it for herself....

    Feeling worried about my turtles health

    Hey all.... I posted a little while back about a slight cricket infestation in my turtles tank (which I have cleared up thank God) but when I brought that up a few of you guys brought to my attention that I may need to separate my 2 turtles. You see, I adopted my turtles about a year ago, and...

    Cricket layed eggs in my tank..... Babies everywhere!!

    We are talking about my two box turtles on this thread.... I keep them in an indoor tank. My tortoise is outside in an enclosure built for him, and I doubt that he eats crickets, but you never know. :D

    Cricket layed eggs in my tank..... Babies everywhere!!

    Omg!!! About a month ago (I think a little more) I fed my 2 boxie's a bag full of 8 or so crickets, and one of them found some secret hiding spot and chirped away forEVER!!!! (For a week at least) finally, he stopped... Needless to say, I haven't bought any crickets since then. Well yesterday, I...

    Burrowing a hole way too deep.. Yikes!!!!

    I feel so torn. Thanks for all of the great advice. Regardless of what I do, I have brought him inside every year when he hibernates anyways because of the risks of burrowing and rain and my fears. I also just like knowing that he's resting at a even temp. For my own peace of mind, I can't help...

    Burrowing a hole way too deep.. Yikes!!!!

    Crap!!!! I already covered the hole, and filled it with dirt... Should I uncover it and move the brick?? I can easily do this.... I know that with a little help he would fix it fast. But it's well over a foot deep, and it starts to fork off as it gets deeper. I'm afraid it will get deeper and...

    Burrowing a hole way too deep.. Yikes!!!!

    He has a lot of shade. I built his enclosure in the shadiest side of the yard. He has lots of trees over him and several big bushes as well. Even though he gets several hours of direct sun during the afternoon, he has plenty of shady areas. The evenings are super shady. Also, I have made him...

    Burrowing a hole way too deep.. Yikes!!!!

    Patches started burrowing a hole a couple of weeks ago right beside a cinder lock in his enclosure. It started small, but grew and now it has gotten so deep that I am beginning to worry about the block caving in, him getting so deep that I won't be able to get him back without ripping apart the...

    shows no interest in a cuddlebone

    Is there any special thing I can do to get Patches to chew on a cuddlebone? He wants noting to do with it and never has, but I worry that he gets enough calcium in his diet. I give him a good diet though. I am planning on giving him a soak today, since I have to force soak him... he is a...

    Omg.... I thought the same thing, so i looked online that more seasoned torts can lay "up to 30 eggs at one time" this must not be her first rodeo! hehe!! :D

    keeping water clean on partial water part of tank

    Ok, well thanks for your tips. I just moved the filter down to a small side table so it's below the waterline now, some people said that could help. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it very much :)

    keeping water clean on partial water part of tank

    Don't be sorry, and thank you. Obviously I am a beginner with tons of questions. I have done all of these things right, my boyfriend and I have 2 fishtanks, so he has helped me put this filter together, and he mentioned not to clean the media parts (except the foam of course) but now even he is...
