Hi just wondering on your best suggestion for marginated tortoise substrate? Also when cleaning his tortoise table I've spotted some tiny spider like creatures I think come from the dried grass/hay..I've only seen a couple and they don't seem to affect him, but if anyone's got any advice on...
Thankyou, he definitely knows when he needs to use bathroom lol, but we have to work round his body clock. Awe I'm really glad you have a understanding of tortoise routines,I'm sure people think I'm mad, I need to get a video of him at toilet time. Wow hope mines calmed down by 22 👍 x
Lol, my dog hasn't used puppy pads for 14 years, I only buy them for my tortoise, he's so demanding, I work full time but luckily live with my retired mum, so she has tortoise toilet duties through the week..she always wanted to be a grandma 😊
Just looking for a bit of advice (reassurance), for the past few months my 3 year old marginated tortoise has been showing his genitalia when going to the toilet. He won't mess in his tortoise table and bangs on glass till I get him out and put him on a puppy pad, which is fine as he's done this...

Hi everyone, just wondering if my marginated tortoise who is 18 month old is a reasonable weight of 185g. It seems to be happy but see so many random weight charts, I'm not sure which ones to follow TIA guys
Just wondering if anybody has had issues with there tortoise and colour. It's such a lovely friendly tortoise but if I wear pink socks or trousers near it, it will put his head in his shell and constantly ram whatever is pink with his shell, my tortoise is only one so makes everyone laugh. But...
