I've owned a Greek Spur-Thighed tortoise for 60 years and never kept him in a vivarium but let him run free in my garden when the temperature is warm enough!

Persimmon?

Mine has been hibernating since mid-October so I don’t have this problem!

I have 1 (owned for over 50 years) So total is: 1162

Ask your vet for a list of recommended foods!

Sounds like she is not getting enough UV.

I obtained a plastic colander & cut the handle off to make my 50+ year-old spur-thighed tortoise a “girlfriend” so that he didn’t damage his shell when bashing it before trying to mate! P.S. He likes to bite my mother’s leather shoes but ignores mine (maybe it’s a ferromone thing!)

Tortoises are highly territorial and do not mix unless mating. Keep them apart!

My tort is 55+ years old and he still does it! Get him a plastic bowl (or collander with the handle cut off) as a substitute "girlfriend"! P.S. Mine particularly likes leather womens' shoes!

All this is true... However, my tortoise will come to me when called and loves to be hand-fed!

Hi All! I am new to this forum but have owned a Spur-Thighed tortoise for over 50 years. I live in Hampshire, on the South Coast of the UK. Regards, Richard
