Thank you, I’ve tried so hard with his husbandry and I’m at the point now I’m happy with it☺️ Ill try a little bit of coconut oil every now and again and I’ll see if that makes a difference. Thank you.

I do, yes. I put it in the water when I bath him☺️ I got him back in October and he was imported from Macedonia according to his paperwork and hatched in 2018. A few people have said he looks older and his shell does look worn, I agree with the latter. I can only imagine he didn’t have the best...

How does my boys shell look? It’s slightly worn and bumpy to me. Is that growth or pyramiding??

From what I’ve read (I’m no expert and I’m sure someone else will be able to help and put you in the right direction) if your tort has bubbles out of its nose and making an odd noise then it MAY be an respiratory infection. This is usually easy for them to sort out and pretty inexpensive if...

Thank you!! just as an update, no further bubbles or noises from him and he’s been his usual active self! Think it may have been where I sprayed his food and I just have gotten a bit too much water on it??

amazing, thank you!

Thank you ☺️

I’m gathering some weeds for my tortoise and unsure on what’s safe to feed and what isn’t (I’ve been on the tortoise table app, but it all looks really samey to me?)

thank you! I’ll keep an eye on him☺️

Thanks Tom! I’ll invest in a ceramic heat bulb for overnight in that case☺️ He spends most of his time in his warmer end as he has more to climb on there - he tends to climb on his hide a lot and slide down it. His food is in his cooler end so he stomps over there to eat for a bit and usually...

what should the cold end be? I thought it should be a little higher than room temp?

thank you! I’ll keep an eye on him today and keep you all updated☺️ I’m going to be getting him a ceramic bulb anyway for overnight as the temps are meant to be dropping in the next couple of days! Would you say around 20 degrees overnight for my little one? Ideally?

Thank you, he’s been completely normal and himself but I’m keeping an eye on it today too. Any changes and I’ll be taking him to the vet☺️ Fingers crossed it was a one time thing!

hello, I’ll do it in the morning if that’s okay? It’s late here and he’s sleeping right now? (it’ll be too dark without his lamps back on to get a good picture). he’s got coco noir substrate, his humidity is around 60%. He also has a basking bulb with is a combi bulb, so heat and UV - I’m going...

okay, thank you! Noted. Any tips for getting the cold end warmer? does it sound like a respiratory infection??

Hello, My 2-3 year old Hermanns made a strange noise tonight. It may be nothing but it was a puffing sound, he did it about 3 times prior to falling asleep. His nose is clear but there was one little bubble shortly after before he dozed off. His nose is now clear and there’s no bubbles, it...

thank you!☺️

Just a late merry Christmas from little Boswer?

Thank you! I gave him a little bit this morning to see what he thought and he chomped it all up and seemed to enjoy it quite a bit? I’ll give it to him as a treat here and there!

Thanks so much! Thank you!☺️
