Hi, I pulled my Tort out today so I could do the daily spot check on his enclosure, and I noticed he is struggling to open his right eye, it looks a little puffy, he can open it a little, but I would literally say I can only see a tiny slit of it? His eye is also looking really weepy - it's wet...

Mine used to when I first had him, but I went to finland for a week in January and ever since he refused to accept food from me. But im back on track now! Haha I'm jealous yours aren't shy!

Thanks for the advice! I was only wondering because the other pictures I've seen on here have more than one living together. Happy with just one though:)

Just wanted to say a big thank you! Brock now accepts food off me! So happy!!

He went out about March time, it wouldn't have been as warm as it is recently (I live in the UK too!), but it was sunny at the time is all I remember sorry! He didnt try to hide, he just didn't move. He barely poked his head out and refused to do anything. I tried putting him by the plants so...

Thanks for the advice guys! I will start trying it a further away and sneaking a pet! Never tried him on hibiscus either, so il have a look for that too:)

No:( i used to be able to but then I went away for a week (six months ago!) And he hasn't let me since. He just kinda sniffs at it and walks passed me. Yeah he seems fine, I've only Google basics though like shells/eye brightness. Wasn't until today i knew about parasites! I better get...

Hi, I've been reading forum comments and I've seen some mention of tortoises from pet stores being shy, unhealthy and possibly having parasites? My little guy is from a pet store. How do I know if he's unwell/ had parasites? Also I've seen a few people say their tortoise was shy, but has...

I notice you have at least two, should I get him a little buddy? And the floor feels really warm to touch. It's 90 - 100 on the hottest side and 75 - 85 on the cooler side, where the ground isn't warm to touch (where he always seems to want to be!) We were told he's 2 but have recently read a...

Oops I meant horsefI eld sorry! There are two lamps nit one; one is heat one is uv. There's one by the rock and ome across the back. I will look at getting him some plants:) any idea what type would be able to get under that.kinda heat? I tried looking down my local garden centre but couldn't...

Hi guys, thanks for your thoughts. Plants sound like a good idea- do you have any suggestions that i could get? Also, how regularly should I be bathing him? Is it better for him to be brought out for a wader or left in his vivarium? I keep hearing so many mixed reviews I have.no idea if...

i have a Herman tort who was two when I was given him in December 2013. He's anti social and stubborn! If I give him a little bit of strawberry (very rarely as a treat!) He walks off... but he'll come back in half hour to eat it because I'm not giving it to him same with food, if I fill the bowl...
