Hi, don’t know where to post this but I really hope someone can help. My son has a test at college today, he has to feed a pancake tortoise while being assessed. He knows what to feed, but we can’t find anything on how much to feed. Can anyone help? Thank you

Having failed in her quest to knock down the sides, Belle is trying the up and over approach to escape. Some emergency modifications are much needed I think. I don't know what's got into her of late. Shes turned so grumpy and aggressive :(

Could anyone please tell me why my Hermanns has started banging repeatedly into the wall of her enclosure? Shes demolished her plants, both real and fake today, trampled her food instead of eating it and now she is just rocking back and forth repeatedly butting the side of the enclosure. Im very...

So ive just given belle her dinner, she came charging over like a bull at a red flag and promptly peed and pooped all over it. She's never ever done this before. Is this normal, do other owners torts do this, or is it her way of telling me what she thought of her food? She actually seemed quite...

Hi, could anyone tell me if Belles plastron looks ok? Im worried that i might be able to see a slight pink streak down the side. The rest of it seems ok to my untrained eye. If it is slightly pink and could be the start of a problem Id rather get her to the vet sooner rather than later... :(...

Just wanted to share this pic my daughter took of our dog Prince and our cat Aslan playing in the back yard. It looks cute but the close up of the dogs face kills me lol:)

Just a short clip of Belle tasting Mazuri for the first time. I think she might like it

Hi everyone, ive seen lots of pics of beautiful torts on this forum and I wonder how my Hermanns shell is kind of dull looking and lacking 'depth' of colour, yet most on here seem to have a lovely richness and sheen. Is it because of her poor start or something im doing wrong just that hermanns...

Thought I'd share a video of my torts reaction during our little conversations-she never fails to yawn when I sit and chat to her...sadly the light isn't brilliant in the video but you can just see her yawn. Here's a still shot too...

Belle, my Hermanns, took her first ever voluntary soak today, but left one foot out lol

Before... After... Still need to sort a hide and it's still very much a work in progress but still a much needed improvement on what we started with!! Any ideas most welcome :)

Ive a feeling my tortoise has seen the Roald Dahl Esio Trot trailer on tv and has decided that is the roll for me since ive just found another 2 eggs from her! No wonder she's eating cuttle bone like its about to go out of fashion!! Surely there can't be many more left to come out, this is 8 in...

Im not sure if this will work, I don't know how to upload videos. It's a link to my YouTube channel anyway and it's my Belle chowing down on her cuttle fish!

Hi, I just wanted to share what's happened with me over the last 3 weeks and hope it might spread the word to other asthma sufferers who become ill over Christmas... It all started innocently enough with a head cold. Very quickly it escalated into a serious chest infection that needed 2 rounds...

Look at this little face, CERTAIN that's a Christmas smile for me :)

Just got to see my beautiful little belle laying her latest egg. I took a video but don't know how to upload it here. Got some still shots i thought I'd share though :)

First egg laid 3/12/14 Second egg laid 15/12/14 Ive noticed a few differences between the eggs, the first one is more round in shape and rough in texture. The second is much smoother and a more oval shape. They are very different looking inside too. Does anyone think they might be viable...

I have taken a few pics of my hermanns eggs. You can see that the first one that was laid on 3/12/14 (marked X) is completely different in shape and inside to the most recent one. It is also more rough in texture to the second one... Second one laid 15/12/14 And the difference between the...

My little lady has only gone and laid another egg! I wonder how many more there can be!! 2 eggs in the incubator now, they both look completely different. Another waiting game for me now...

Of my lovely girl now she's feeling and looking a lot better after the she/he/beak trim/egg laying saga... I know im biased but I think she's just beautiful. My daughter is a photographer and took this one...
