    Looking to remhome male Russian tortoise (southern california)

    Hello! I have had Ernie for about 10 years now. The vet estimates he was between 3-5 when I first got him, so he would be about 13-15 years old. Unfortunately my husband is military and we have to move to a place that does not allow exotics, and Ernie cannot come with us. I am in Southern...

    Cactus for Russians

    I use cactus as a "treat" when I find it at my farmer's market. I buy about 3 pads at a time, they last a few weeks, then I go a couple months before feeding them again.

    Living with worms?

    I actually had him de wormed about a year ago, so would that mean the worms were never cleared out during the first run?

    Living with worms?

    Okay. Good to know. The vet wasn't specific about the number of worms, but that makes sense. So how do you think he contracted them? I would assume it was by eating his own poop, but if he was clean, and pooping clean, how is that possible?

    Living with worms?

    I seem to recall last year when I went to the vet, (back when Ernie had worms for the first time) that he could have contracted them a number of ways, including by bringing them in from the outside, or from eating his own feces. Then I also remember her telling me that it was nothing big to...

    Yes the tupperware ideas are great, but can the torts get up on top of them to "survey"? =P

    TNT

    So thinking back to when I bought my TNT, it's been about a year now, and I remember reading (either on CarolinaPetSupply.com or on the product sheet it shipped with) that TNT supposedly expires in 1 year. Now I have kept it in a dark, cool, closet, and have quite a bit leftover, I would guess...

    Plastic Huts?

    I'm wondering if anyone has these, or if they even exist? For cleanliness sakes, and because the wooden ones get moldy.. On a side note, I know I could find some tupperware containers, and turn them upsidedown and cut holes in the sides, but climbing up and over the round huts is one of...

    Strawberries?

    Is Ernie allowed to have strawberries? He's a Russian tort, by the way. Picked myself some up at the farmers market and am wondering if I can share them with my little buddy =]

    OUCH!!! He bit me!

    Ernie used to bite anything and everything when I first took him home. He learned now what is food, and what is not food, but he used to chase my finger around his house because he thought it was food! And he did get a hold of my finger a few times...OW
