    Timothy hay

    Is Timothy hay good for russian tortoises? I know that they usually don’t eat it but my tortoise isn’t picky at all and would it be beneficial to him if I soaked it in water and possibly mixed it with his food?

    Plant in tortoise enclosure

    Hi guys, I’m wondering if I can put a plant in my tortoise’s enclosure? I’ve planted some cat grass for him and it’s started sprouting so I was wondering if I make the plant pot so he can get into it and eat the grass whenever he wants to would he eat the soil and if he did would he be okay...

    Good Enclosure Size?

    It’s an old photo, when I got him I was given newspaper pellets to house him on but later found out they weren’t suitable, I use orchid bark now!

    Good Enclosure Size?

    I’m looking to buy a new enclosure for my russian tortoise. I’m horrible at handy work so I’ll probably get one off Etsy that’s handmade. I found a tortoise table that’s 100 x 15 x 50. It’s got another small tier that doubles as a hide underneath. Do you guys think this is a good sized enclosure...

    Does my tortoise have an ri?

    This morning I was sitting with my tortoise and he started acting strange, he was sitting and moving his head around and rubbing his head, he seemed super uncomfortable.

    Tortoise seems to have itchy leg

    Thanks for the advice. I don’t think it’s anything to do with the substrate as i recently changed his substrate and it’s a completely different one now and he was doing it before it was changed. Also his temps are normal.

    Tortoise seems to have itchy leg

    He sort of pulls his leg against his shell, it’s really hard to explain honestly. I also give him a soak every day.

    Tortoise seems to have itchy leg

    My tortoise seems to be rubbing his leg on his shell, I’ve seen him do it maybe 2 or 4 times. I don’t know if it’s normal or not but it’s almost as if he has an itchy leg and is trying to scratch it on his shell. I don’t know if it’s anything to do with his substrate, but he’s not on sand or...
