Hello everyone,
I was thinking about building a new enclosure for my tortoises outside in the garden, and I want to build it in a place where there is permanent shade because it's easier for me to take care of them while they are in the shade. Will they still be able to absorb sunlight and get...
Good evening
The other day, I saw my tortoise eating from this plant, any idea what it is?
Is it safe for tortoises?
Also, there is a big palm tree in the garden, and one of my tortoises like eating the falling dates underneath the tree. Is that safe?
My tortoises are Greek BTW.

Few days ago, I've noticed some white spots on my tort's shell. And I've read that the spots appear due to hard water. But now i think that my torts shell is rotting. What can I do about it? There is no vet near by and my tortoise's shell has a lot of cracks.
The crack were already...
