    my male star just not interesting female

    We too have a male star and at first he was very quiet (we obtained him from a friend when he was 6. He's now 7). We have built him an entire new enclosure with new toys (rocks & hides) bur he has since taken to one of his rocks as a mate which he 'humps' on many an occasion (& more often than...

    Behaviour patterns

    Thanks for your response. This has developed a little more now. He is really nervous & jumpy (if a tort can be jumpy? But I guess you know what I mean?) When I go to pick him up for his bath etc. He really do seem to be totally out of sorts. I have been giving him a supplement dust that is...

    Behaviour patterns

    Hi guys First of all sorry if this is under the wrong section. Are tortoises a creature of habit? The reason I ask is because we have been away for two weeks & had family looking after Sheldon. Now we're back his character has totally changed. He no longer wants to play out & doesnt want his...

    Runny nose AGAIN!

    Just keep you all dated on Sheldon. We have bought a booger sucker upper (usually used for babues) & have started with the saline flushes. We are also reviewing his substrate (currently on co co coir) as it dries out quite fast & there was particles in his booger sucker upper. We have ordered...

    Runny nose AGAIN!

    Thank you all once again for all your comments. I will try the saline flush & see how we go. I must say Sheldon doesnt appear stressed. He is quite interactive. He often appears at his window, banging as to get out. In the summer we let him out in the garden (& he usually runs for cover) or...

    Runny nose AGAIN!

    Many thanks for your help. Yes Sheldon is an Idian Star & he has also been tested & cleared of the herpes virus too. He appears to be his usual self all in all but makes a snorting/sneezing sound & he even sometimes snaps his jaw (if that makes any sense)? Is there any specific technique for...

    Courgette Flowers

    Even better news. So none of the plant is going to waste. I think I'll be growing these every year from now on. [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] I might just have a try of one myself (the flower that is not the leaves lol) in tempura batter.

    Could I leave this in with my Tort?!

    Nuts

    Hi Can you please settle an argument? We're sat watching movies & my fella asked if Sheldon can eat Brazil nuts (coz that's what he's snacking on) I say no coz there high in protein & he's supposed to have low protein high fibre diet. My fella says Sheldon (an Indian star) would eat them in the...
