    Outdoor enclosure in the PNW

    That helps a lot! I worry about him getting chilled in a 60 degree temp. I guess, I don't need to? Thanks so much for all the info!! :)

    Outdoor enclosure in the PNW

    Thanks! Do you have any pictures of your outdoor setup? Do they get all the light and heat they need with the temps at 60 degrees during the day?

    I live here in the beautiful PNW, Seattle, WA area, and wanting to hear from people who have outdoor enclosures in this area or similar climate. I have one Russian tort. What months do you usually house outdoors? Do you need a heat source or UV light? What type of enclosure do you use? Do you...

    Sex my tortie!

    Oh yes he does! I can't believe he could be that old! He looks so small compared to other Russians I've seen. :(

    Long worm

    This is so gross. Petsmart reassured me this type could not be transferred to humans, but now I'm wondering. Ugggh!

    Long worm

    Ok, update...got the meds yesterday and we were not able to give them to him. He would not open his mouth! They said for me to take him home and try, but still couldn't. Ended up injecting into a banana, most of which he ate this am(it sat out all night) but I'm worried he didn't get it all...

    Long worm

    Just got a call back. It is a roundworm. They have the medication for my RT, and said they will give him the first dose. He only needs 2 doses, so I will give him the 2nd and keep him home. I'm going to put him in a tote. What should I use for substrate? Also...I just thoroughly cleaned...

    Long worm

    A better option? Is it fairly easy to do at home or should I have them do it there? [hr] Sorry, that posted weird...Petsmart is being really good about it. They are paying to treat my Russian as well, and offered to treat him in house. What do you think would be better for a new tortoise...

    Long worm

    [hr] Wow! I'm so glad you know what it is! Bleh! That thing was nasty! I will give them a call tomorrow, get my RT in to be treated, and will sadly not end up getting her again, as I wanted to house them together, and have done some research and you are all right, it is not a good idea. :(...

    Long worm

    They told me they were all screened before being sold, so I'm pretty upset that this happened. I really don't want my little guy getting sick. :( [hr] I don't know if I could stomach it again, but maybe it would be helpful? The tortoise lady said they'd be fine together. Wonder if that's not...

    Long worm

    It was defiantly a worm, and yes, very large. The lady at the store owns multiple tortoises and says she's seen lots of worms, nothing like this...that's why she thought that. I totally cleaned/disinfected everything, and they said they would pay for my other torts treatment of worms if it...

    Long worm

    Bought a Greek tortoise as a companion for my Russian 4 days ago from Petsmart. She is very alert, friendly and seems healthy, but wouldn't eat. I tried all sorts of things, and today, ended up giving her a good soak. She has had some healthy poops, a couple of orange ones, but since they had...
