. Haha baby got back:) she was so maxing and relaxing I had to take a pic!! You guys helped me so much when I got Penelope and she was sick the first 2-3 months but with your help and my vet my girl is eating and growing:))) man I love her!!
Thanks for the responses. I have sense changed her enclosure and the hide is much improved. I am using a old plastic plant container which she seems to love. There was a crack in the container so I got a sponge and ran a cotton sock thru the sponge on one end and placed the other end in a glass...
Does anyone know of a tortoise rescue group in Colorado? I would love another tortoise but feel rescuing might be the best way for a tortoise to get a happy home . Or maybe I'll just have to get a baby:) wanting to weigh the options! Thank you!
Thank you thank you!!!! I'm new to this tortoise stuff and have learned so much here with you guys:) I really hope I saved her from the pet store and uri !! I want her to grow up to be a super happy tort;) and spoiled!
Finally:) I believe Penelope Cruz is on the up swing!!! She was an unhealthy tort when I got her and kept in a dry enclosure with a Russian and a box tort:( I had too return her to the pet store a few days after I got her because she was sick. A week later I picked her up ( still sick) but they...
Curious about personalities on these torts:) i am fascinated by pancake torts! I have a Leopard tort, my first tort ever , and I enjoy learning about all the others:) yes I am afraid I have caught the tortoise bug and hope to get another or two someday :)
I just got some packets of flowers for my tortoise garden I will be starting soon:) lots of stuff I know are safe but a few I am unsure about. Is black eyed Susan vine safe and single moss rose? Can not find them on either of the sites that list plants for Leo!
I just bought a big tote and I just noticed some of you use foil too protect the plastic lids from the lights...I want to do this but it makes me nervous:/ how much foil do u use? I may do this tonight .
Thank you guys so much:) I am using the biggest Rubbermaid I could get:) but need to start planning a long term enclosure! I really hope she gets healthy now!
I need to build a new enclosure. Mold took over my enclosure and I am thinking this could be a part of the reason my tort has been sick. I have her in a temperary 50 gallon plastic tub with new substrate for now . What wood and sealant is best?
I had some wheat berries growing in her enclosure so I never mixed that part :( there is some mold in that area...I better find a new way to keep fresh grass in her enclosure.
I am curious ... With keeping a humid enclosure if it makes sense to be concerned with mold . My 3 yr old tort has been sick pretty much since I got her but has progressively got worse. I have only had her a few months now. We have been to the vet and will be returning tomorrow for more test.
I...
I'm stopping the meds because my vet is concerned the meds are causing a bad reaction... It's baytril and some Leo torts have bad reactions to it. After she would get it she would seem worse off , not moving at all , so going back on Monday to vet. I can now afford to do more test and hopefully...
I see no improvement with Penelope:( stopped antibiotics and going back to vet on Monday ! Starting to wonder if she will be able to get better. It breaks my heart but at least she is no longer at the reptile store that did not have her properly housed and she is getting vet care! Please send...
Ascott...no worries :) yes with just a quick visit we are treating what is common. She did say her mouth looks good after looking in there...not sure what ailments would effect inside mouth? I am very happy to report that Penelope is much more active already today:) she has spent sometime...
