Thanks for the relieving info. I already purchased a 20W - 5% UV-B lamp so the exposure to UV-B is guaranteed. This will be accompanied with 2 days a week of full day sunlight exposure, given that keeping the window open everyday is difficult. The lamp is placed within 40 cm (about 16 in.) from...

Thanks for your help and advice. I'm sorry I believe I did not make it clear regarding the window. Grotle's enclosure is located beside an open window (only mesh), which means he gets direct sunlight. But since it's getting hot here, I will soon be no longer able to leave the window open. I...

Grotle 's enclosure is placed right beside an open window, which means sunlight is available all day long. It's pretty sunny over here but he prefers to burrow through the hay and get out for food and a little walk every hour. As I told you he's pretty energetic and moves a lot. It's the way...

Yeah he has a cuttle bone in his enclosure which he bites on from time to time. I also spread Calcium Carbonate powder on his food every week.

Hi all! I've had Grotle for 8 months now. He is one lovely and energetic young Greek tortoise. Recently, I brought another Greek tortoise that looks exactly like Grotle and is about the same age (2 to 3 years). What I notice is that there's a clear difference in the way the 2 tortoises walk...

No it's not.. I was at my brother's and he didn't want him to dirt his place xD

Hello all! This is not the best but I'm very happy about my tortoise Grotle :) I took this video for him (not sure) while he was eating lettuce :) http://youtu.be/Gzm6cbGPg_c

Thanks I'll try that when I get back home.. I dunno why I didn't get notified about this reply :S

Hello! I got my Greek tortoise Grotle from a pet shop 3 days ago. It finally started eating as well as activity. It's exploring the place and has already picked a constant sleeping spot xD The problem is that it rejects anything other than romaine lettuce!!! I offered parsley, turnip...

Thank you all! That was really helpful :) Today it started acting more normal. It's active but not eating really well. I'm offering a variety of greens and a daily bath! Let's hope this works.. I found out while searching that olive oil is very good for the shell as well as the skin. Shall...

Thank you.. Can you tell the gender yet? Also it hasn't been active since I brought it.. unlike how it was when I picked it at the shop. Could that be due to the new environment?

Here are some close up pics. I hope they help :) BTW what is plastron?

Thank you :) I love it already :D Here's a link https://twitter.com/mselayan/status/373859298293448704/photo/1

Thank you but I need to be sure about that so I know what to feed it and what to not! + I can't see the image I linked when I view my post.. Do you really see it?

Hello Everyone! I just got a tortoise and I decided to subscribe to this forum to help me take care of it :) Before anything I want to identify the type of this tortoise which I believe will help much. Any idea?
