Oh damn, so I'm stressing my tort when I take it out for a stroll? I just do it for like half an hour each day so that my tort can get the required UVB light.

My backyard doesn't have much wildlife, except for a few small lizards and hummingbirds. Is this still dangerous?

Hey people, I let my tortoise stroll outside with supervision when it's feeding time for it to soak some sun daily. He/she strolls happily and explores the yard after feeding, and sometimes goes to sleep under a plant. What I've noticed is that no matter how active or curious he/she is, the...

I kinda discard dryness, since the enclosure is always at 80+ humidity. What I now recently discovered is that the peat moss that I bought has something called "Perlite Agrolite". So maybe zovick's guess was right? English is not my native language, so I don't know if I correctly translated...

Hello everyone, Today I noticed a powder near my tort's eyelid. Couldn't get a better picture, but i was wondering if this should be something to worry about... Thanks in advance

Thanks! I think I won't risk it, since I've got a lot of other options to feed my tort.

Yeah, I couldn't find any info. Guess I won't risk it.

So, my father has a coffee plant, and gave me some coffee berries to feed my turtle. Are they safe? I haven't found any info on this. English is not my first language, so I don't know if these are the berries.

They really eat the egg shell? Amazing! How can I know if it no longer fits the shell? Yeah, I plan on givingsome cactus padsnext weekto see how it likes it! Thanks!

Thanks for all your help!

Understood, thanks! My tort still (barely) fits in my hand. How oftenly should I weight my tort to verify gains? No, it's not the same presentation. I have this one: So, is this enough as a protein source? I fed my tort cooked egg white the other day, since it wouldn't eat this pellets. I...

Yeah, as @Armadillogroomer has said, I just recently (2 weeks ago) acquired my tort, so it's not my fault. Will this pyramiding be reverted in time, or this degree of pyramiding will remain throughout my tort's whole life? Also, I set the temperature in the day to be 82-86 F, and 72-75 F in the...

Thanks! I really fell in love with Tortimer! How can I recognize growth lines from other problems? Tortimer is not that picky, till now! Only skips some meals, but at least eats his whole plate once every two days. Also, what weight should a ~1 year old redfoot be? I haven't weighted him, but...

Thanks for finding that! It's actually sold in the store in which I acquired my tort, so I dunno why I didn't see it. The one I bought, tho, says it has the next guaranteed analysis: 40% min Raw Protein 2.8% min Raw Fat 10% max Raw Fiber 12% max ashes (?) 10% max humidity E.L.N.: 25.2% (couldn't...

Thanks! I really fell in love with Tortimer!

Thanks! I did the hole today, on the hide side. I think it turned out pretty well. Thanks!

I am currently not using the cfl, but was wondering if it would be necessary when using the acryllic, since maybe it'd absorb the UVB. Also, it has come to my attention the issue with this water bowl and I am working on it. The topic of my post is about the placement of the lamp mount, since...

Okay, thanks. I was under the impression that they needed UVB daily.

Where'd you get that info? I've been trying to know this, since I only have access to a 5.0 compact bulb and don't want to use it to prevent blindness.

Okay, thanks! My CHE is bound to arrive next weekend! I've got what I'm guessing are mazuri pellets as protein source. (I'm from Mexico, and haven't seen the trademark Mazuri, but they're from my pet store) and my tort doesn't eat them. Okay,I've read the thread and when I placed the dish I...
