Hey everyone. I have a 5 year old, female eastern Hermann Tortoise. She is in a 7x5 enclosure, is fed cactus, a variety of safe grocery green, Mazuri and grassland pellets, and more in the summer. I give her calcium 2 a week and soaks 2-3 times a week. She is on cypress mulch right now but I am...

Hi everyone I’mma gonna get straight to the question. Basically my nursery closed down, and we have a couple of fertilized spider plants. I was thinking about giving my tort the babies so my question is, are the babies of the spider plant ‘infected’ with the fertilizer or are they pure?

Hi everyone I haven't posted here in a bit. My bearded dragon recently had a health scare. He has been more lazy and his eye got very swollen. It is either something cardial or a bacterial infection. The point is, he was much more tired and sleepy before this. I assumed he it was just brumation...

Hi everyone my 5 year old female Hermann has started to sleep a lot more and be in the dark a lot more this past week. Is it the weather changing and her getting prepared for the cold? Thanks

Hi everyone. I have a hermann tortoise named Rocky. I brought her to the vet and they said that I should add Timothy hay in her enclosure so she can eat it throughout the day. However I thought that there were better hays for Hermann Tortoises. What would those be? Thank you

Hey everyone. So I finished the deworming treatement for my tortoise recently. However the vet called and said that we should wait another month before getting another fecal test from my tortoise. When i was doing the treatment I was washing out her bowls daily to prevent reinfection. I stopped...

Hi guys! Sorry that I post a lot but I have a lot of questions and I'd rather be better safe than sorry. So today it is 85f where I am and I brought my tortoise outside. I measured the substrate temp with a temp gun. In the shade it is 89-93f and in the sun it is 107-122f. Is this okay? I check...

I brought in my annual tortoise fecal sample yesterday and today I got the news that my tortoise has ascaris/roundworms. The vet said that they will contact a specialist to talk to us. Is there anything I can do in the meantime? I think I take good care of her. I've read all the caresheets...

Hi everyone. About 2 weeks ago I finished attaching a lit to my Tortoise's enclosure. Today I just noticed that the screen I used to cover it, has a warning that says Prop 65 and it talks about cancer and birth defects. However, it also specifically says "safe to use for animal enclosures". Is...

This is kind of a complicated question but do germs from tortoises and bearded dragons spread dangerously? They are housed separately but I still wonder if some stuff is dangerous. For example if I touch my tortoise and then touch my bearded dragons greens, which he then eats, is that dangerous...

Hi everyone! Sorry if I make a lot of posts lol but my 4-5 year old female torotise Rocky has recently been acting very lethargic. It started suddenly about a week ago. She spent the whole day burrowed under the basking light and has been doing it everyday since. I have increased the 100 watt...

Hi my 4-5 year old female tortoise Rocky has been pooping less often and in much smaller amounts. I have been trying to get her to defecate a normal amount for the past 3 days. I have been giving her 40 minute soaks in 95f water temp. I usually soak her 3 or 4 times a week for 20 minutes. I...

When I got my Hermann Tortoise Rocky he was 3-4. I got him on November 8th, 2020 and it is now November 21st, 2021. So now I think that he is 4-5 years old. I don't know if his age was accurate when I got him because about 3 months ago he started to get growth rings. I just took some photos of...

Hi everyone recently due to summer ending and my tortoise having to eat more grocery greens and testudo seed mix he has gotten more picky with food. He no longer has his favorite greens available. It seems the only way for me to fix this is to use mazuri pellets with his meals. I only use a...
