    Strawberries?

    I have read on some sites that I shouldn't feed my tortoise strawberries and on others that I can. What do you guys think?

    Too much food?

    I have a Greek tortoise. I used to have turtles and they said they never know when to stop eating and they can overeat. He's a grazer and eats a lot. He always looks hungry and I feel guilty. Could he over eat and get sick? I don't want him to be sick because I fed him too much

    Enclosure size?

    My dad and I are building my Greek tortoise a cage. It will be about 16 inches by 64 inches. It's the size of my one shelf in my room. Is that a good size? He will only be there about 3 years until I go to college in which I will have to get an off campus apartment for him and I. When I get that...

    Soaking?

    I meant to put this in my last thread but forgot. My Greek tortoise is a few years old. I know you have to soak them but if he has a larger water bowl in his cage in which he soaks himself in, do I need to soak him still? He HATES when I soak him but doesn't mind soaking himself. Yeah, he's...

He's fine just needed eye drops and nose drops. My question though is the vet said he should be de-wormed 2 times a year. I'm fifteen years old...

Like rocks where his water will be and dirt in the other two. My question is will the aluminum hurt him? There...

    Boy or girl?

    My Geno is two or three years old they think. But they couldn't tell what gender. Can you guys? He/she is a Greek tortoise by the way! Also, ignore the blue stuff on him. It's his substrate. The mix of calcium sand and Eco-earth. What the vet suggested(:

    What to do, what to do?

    I bought a Greek tortoise a few months ago and he is currently living in a 20 gallon tank, which is too small I have gathered by reading other posts on here. My father and I have gone to PetSmart and Walmart looking for cages he may like to move into. We found a cage at PetSmart, like an actual...
