My turtle has always loved crickets and is aggressive in running and catching them. Today I gave her crickets and she shows absolutely no interest. I noticed her eyes are puffy. Any idea what is going on with her???

I find my ornate bt a fussy eater. The previous owner fed mostly a live cricket diet. He goes after them aggressively, so that is not a problem. It is a problem trying to feed him other food. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have an Eastern box turtle. His beak looks the same as when I got him but I'm not sure how long it should be. The previous owner said he had cracked it a bit on a rock when he was chasing crickets

I don't think that a box turtle and a redfoot can live together but a person I spoke with today was positive they can? They are very different in personalities too, the rft is layed back and the box turtle is very active.

I use timothy, orchard and also oat hay for a couple of my pets and was wondering if any or all would be good if i chopped them up to add to their food? It is hard during the winter here to have other than supermarket greens.

This is a long shot but I have to have the bottom and one side of the glass tank in my wood enclosure replaced as it is cracked. Does anyone know anyone that can build or repair glass tanks or a place I can get glass cut in winnipeg?

My russian is in a 36x20.5 enclosure right now. What size is considered a decent size keeping in mind that although bigger is better, I don't have room for a huge enclosure [hr] Also she digs most of the time, I am considering a tort table, a large rubbermaid type container or an aquarium

Now that my redfoot is in a much larger enclosure I wanted to ask what would be good to have in it to make it interesting for my redfoot. Rocks to climb over etc? She has plants and a bridge to hide under but I need something else

I was going to use air barrier plastic (?) I found in storage for the liner in the tort table, then duct tape it a few inches up the sides. But I read about corugated plastic, would that be ok to bend in the corners and is it a good idea? [hr]

I was looking at several enclosures in that section and noticed a fair range of substrates. Other than soil, what do you guys prefer and why? What works best for a RF? Thanks.
