Your right, I will, because you completely missed the point.
Rule 7 of the forum guidelines:
Refrain from posting about religious, political, and other controversial topics un-related to tortoises. These discussions tend to be divisive and detrimental to the community. We reserve the right to...
My biggest issue with how Tim's threads were handled was that, throughout the whole thing, the two active mods kept deleting and deleting and asking for people to stop arguing and such. My problem was, there was ONE thing Tim asked for. For the old information to be restored, so the warning...
I'm sorry, I get what your saying Mark, but in the recent evolution thread....From the beginning of them being made, it violated the rules. I asked very nicely for the mods to delete it. I was ignored. It took FIVE PAGES for them to finally listen to me. Four of those pages were filled with...
Here is my list.
Greens
Collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, radicchio, watercress, dandelion, chicory, endive, escarole, plantain. Bok choi is acceptable as part of a varied diet, matched with two or three other greens. Some other foods to mention are kale and spinach. While kale...
Personally, none of mine are aggressive, but some have seen aggression. Usually, however, as long as there is no female to be competitive over there, enough food and enough space, they should be fine. Just be prepared to separate if you have to.
"Wow" is all I can say. Just amazing :).
Educate me here, "f3" means third generation, yes? Third generation from what? From a wild-caught tortoise? I always see f1-f2 and such, but I'm never exactly sure what it means. With things like hybrid exotic cats (say, savannas), it means how many...
Oh dear....
To me, the looks like shell rot from the underneath..I am experienced with dealing with shell fungus, but not this. Unless another forum member can advise you on treatment (I cannot), then I would advise taking it to a vet straight-away.
What I CAN do is tell you your diet is...
I agree, it seems to have like it will have a lot of potential. I like the message you put in the last pond cast, about making sure you are able to care for the animal before you get it...(at least thats what I got from it :)!).
It won't hurt them...Algea is a plant. My outdoor water bowls get algae in them all the time, and nothing bad happens. Remember that the water they drink in the wild is likely teeming with floating algae. Only certain species of algae cause harm, such as dinoflagellates. If you get red algae...
I don't keep that species, but one thing I know is they should NOT have animal protein. The only species of tortoises that should have animal protein are the forest-type tortoises...Russians are a more grazing species. Your vet is, sadly, very wrong.
Very nice :)! Like Anthony said, they do have very distinct black....More-so then any others I've seen :)(not that I've seen many). Some more pics of their enclosures would be nice to!
Gee, the only way I would see that is if someone decided to post a video...(hint hint) :).
They are just speechlessly beautiful....Awe-struck is about the best word I can put to how I feel in seeing that picture....
Possibly. They misunderstand that the elimination of one does not result in the decimation of ten thousand? I think there was some multiplication issues here....
