    Energetic lil tort

    I have had my lil Merlin for about 3 months now. I have discovered my little tort has a lot of energy and keeps running around his enclosure knocking everything down. In the middle of his tiny rampage he keeps hitting the side of the 40gallon tank that houses him. I was wondering what I could do...

    Not eating much....

    Well I think I figured out the mystery. My little guy hates red lettuce! I can't believe he is already spoiled.

    Not eating much....

    My Merlin hasn't been eating a lot of the food I give him. He more or less just scatters it around and walks all over it. I have been feeding him red lettuce and green beans. He usually loves green beans. So any ideas why he wont eat?

    Texas flower

    I have yet to find a book that tells me which Texas flowers are safe for my little guy. I know about dandelions but what about this one? I usually call them Indian Blankets. Others sometimes call them Indian pinwheels.

    Long term feeder?

    Due to my choice of profession my poor little baby Merlin might be left alone for 12 to 36 hours maybe more. I was wondering if there are any automatic feeders or something to make sure my baby has plenty of food?

    Spoiled already....

    I have to watch him when I let him out. When I get enough money I hope to get him an enclosure outside so he can't fit under the fence around my yard. Or maybe he will get bigger so he wont fit ;P

    Spoiled already....

    Nope it didn't work. I suppose the only option left is to take him outside.

    Spoiled already....

    I have been taking Merlin out of his cage and let him play outside for about 20 to 30 minutes with weather permitting. But Yesterday and today that wasn't the case. I started the day with his soaking (that he hates) followed up with his breakfast. He seemed fine for about an hour…then the...

    Soakings

    Im not really liking the substrate at the moment after seeing lil Merlin's obsession with digging, hiding then freaking me out. I don't think that I will be using much of coconut bark next time.

    Hi!

    Just wanted to give you an update. My little guy now has a name! He is named Merlin because of his cute disappearing act he can do when you are not looking.

    Soakings

    I've had my little tort for about a week now. He has been eatin well ( just more of a veggie lover than anything else I feed him). What concerns me the most is if he is getting enough water. I leave a dish of water out for him and change it everyday. I even let him play in the water sprinkler...
