So, my son and I take turns feeding Mr. T. Yesterday afternoon we were on our way to my mother in laws when he suddenly said from the back of thr car "mom, I forgot to feed Mr. T" I said he'll be fine and I promised him that even though we would be getting home late, I would feed him. Well...

Hi all, So Mr.T is more active than ever and eating like a pig. He loves to sit on his log and enjoy the view. He continues with his attitude though, I offered him a mushroom which he snorted at then head butted. Sheesh. Tonight I carved our Halloween pumpkin and offered him some. He hid in his...

Anyone else have a tortoise that likes to re-arrange their enclosure? I found mounds on one side, next to no coco coir on the other, his hide is moved to the middle, he's covered his feeding stone with coco coir, I'm starting to wonder if he doesn't like the arrangement I have set up for him, lol

Mr.T is most definitely a boy. I put him outside to soak today and he pooped, I picked him up and he was flashing me. Panicking(lol) I put him in the water and his showing disappeared, then he pooped again and I picked him up to change his water and he was showing again. It's a boy, everyone on...

And is it edible?

Can someone tell me if this calcium supplement that I use for my geckos is ok to use for Mr. T?

So, I have been trying to get Mr. T to eat Mazuri with no luck. I soaked it and added chopped greens, but mr. picky says no way. Then after the banana incident I thought to myself, hmmmm and added a tiny bit of banana to soaked mazuri, chopped plantain and dandelion leaves and BINGO, I have...

Well, Mr. T went on a two day hunger strike(well he ate a tiny bit but not much compared to usual) so I was starting to panic when I realized my son (who feeds Mr. T) has been putting plantain leaves, dandelion leaves, and the dreaded KALE that Mr. T hates. Bugger decided to go on strike because...

Hi all, Yesterday, I met a member of this forum named Yannick(although he doesn't post much). He is a tortoise breeder here in Montreal and he says he knows the breeder of my Mr. T and that he is a Golden Greek. I bought some Mazuri off him(since it's impossible to find here) and he gave me...

Can you help me identify which of these Mr.T can eat?

Are all cactus types safe for torts to eat or are their only a few types?

So, Mr. T is doing well. Yesterday I left him in his soak for 20 minutes instead of 15 minutes while I fiddled around the kitchen(keeping an eye on him of course) and low and behold I went to check the temp of his water and WOW, lots of poop. Gross, hope he wasn't sitting in it too long, so I...

So I posted a pic of mr.T and at first it was said he is in fact a male, but then some started posting that they think he is a female. So I am reposting the pic of his/her tail, he/she is a 3 yr old greek. What do you think?

So, I posted this in another thread, but thought it would be a nice update to share with everyone. You have all been so helpful. I just adopted a 3 yr old Greek tortoise 10 days ago from a girl who lived with a vet tech(yes, a vet tech whom you would assume would research tortoise care) . She...

Mr. T will often slightly bob in and out of his shell, what does that mean?

Hi all, just an update that my newly adopted 3 yr old greek is doing well. He is now on coco coir, eating dandelions(no more romaine) and thriving. He is awake and active from about 10am to 7pm with some tort naps in between. Now that those things have been rectified I have some new questions...

I live 2 houses away from woods. There is a ton of wild greenery in there. My question is , is it safe to pick those to feed my greek tort? I mean, coyotes and rabbits and dogs and all sorts of animals pee and poop in there...is it safe to just go pick some from the woods?

I even looked up Canadian online sites to order it, but no luck. Anybody know of any Canadian distributers or Quebec distributers?

So, I brought Mr T home Friday evening. He slept until noon the next day then was active and played and ate. Sunday, he ate as well and was active but yesterday around 5pm, I changed his UV bulb for a bulb that gives off heat(can't remember the name of it). I did this because the tort used to...
