    What can I put down on ground to protect tortoise from stones?

    So recently the grass in my garden was replaced with stones but this means I will have to put some type of mat down when I set my tortoises outdoor enclosure up as he always tries to eat stones and also I don’t think his little legs would enjoy climbing over them all day. I just need something...

    Septicaemia pink or growth spurt pink?

    So today as I was soaking him I picked him up so I could use his toothbrush to get dirt out of his crevices and I noticed his plastron was very pink. He is eating normally, waking up and going to sleep at normal times and doesn’t seem ill. He is slightly off but I think it might be because on...

    Very short term enclosure ideas? <3

    Hi there! So I’ve decided that when I build my boys bigger enclosure I want to make it a vivarium as that will make it easier for me to control the humidity as that’s a priority as he’s developed some pyramiding. He is currently in a vivarium so I plan of just making that one bigger. I will make...

    Starving tortoise for two days a week to stop pyramiding worsening.

    So lately my two year old Hermann has started to be pyramiding quite quickly. He already had a bit of pyramiding when I got him at 1 year old as his previous owner had no idea how to care for a tortoise but it’s noticeably been getting more bad lately. Of course I started going through the list...

    Green Discolouration on skin?

    So my two year old Hermann has quite quickly developed this large green mark on the side of his face and I was wondering if it’s anything I should be concerned about? He doesn’t seem unwell or anything apart from the usual winter tiredness.

    Can I use these to decorate the outside of my tortoise enclosure?

    So I want to decorate the outside of my tortoise vivarium because it doesn’t fit with the rest of my furniture and I was thinking I could just stick these things on. I’m just asking because I know that the wood absorbs heat and stuff and I don’t want to put another layer on if it is going to...

    So we are coming into summer now and this will be my first summer with my tortoise and I want to be able to give him as much outdoor time as possible so he can soak up the natural sun rays. However, I do not have enough space currently to build an enclosure that can be there permanently so it...

    Is a closed vivarium suitable for a 1 year old Hermann tortoise?

    So I want to change my Hermann tortoise enclosure from a table to a vivarium as this will allow him to have the biggest enclosure for the space I have and will also be safer as we have a dog that doesn’t like him. Though I have done a lot of research I keep getting conflicting answers as to...
