Just wondering if any one had tried this seed mix and how it worked out
I just ordered some and was curious about its reviews here on TFO
Ok I am going to post pictures of him soon and I don't think Tortellini is pyramiding but I would like to know how to I dentify it in a 6month old sully he is about 2.5" and his shell looks good to me but I was wondering if anyone had a picture of a 6month (or younger) with pyramiding for comparison
Unfortunatly Reverse passed away this morning. . . I don't exactly know why he was doing well (still recovering from being sick but well) he was eating drinking and pooping normally but this morning I found him all tucked in to his shell.
Tortellini is thankfully fine and is not haveing any...
Reverse is doing wonderfully his nose is not 100% clear yet but he doesn't have any more snot or bubbles coming out of his nose. He has also been very active (when he's not sleeping) and diging. He's also eating very well so I am happy about that. It will probly be a week or two more before I...

I'm wondering if I should cut up tortellini's grass. He eats the grass but always has grass sticking out of him mouth. I guess its to hard to rip. So should I cut up his grass into smaller pieces to make it easyer for him to eat?

Ok so Tortellini really like mazuri and when given he really chows down however I'm trying to get him on a 100% home grown diet. I've had him alittle over a week and have been giving him only home grown grasses and edible plants (except the day I brought him home) but he doesn't like anything...
Sorry I should probly ask all this stuff in one thread but I just keep seeing things I wanna fix
1) he keeps draging his substrate into his water. Is there away to keep his water clean.
2) he walks into his food dish(but doesn't eat anything) then when he walks out of his dish he has food stuck...
