    Possible Respiratory Problems

    Hi, my three year old RT has been doing some things lately that have me concerned. First off, he does this thing where he'll be eating, or standing, and he'll stop what he's doing and puff air out of his nose so loud that you can hear it from a few feet away; after this, he will go right back to...

    Substrate Questions

    Hi, I have a two or three year old Russian named Tortomir. We've had him for about a month and a half now. When we got him, we had coconut coir as his bedding, but we had to change it out because our last little one was sick. We were keeping him on newspaper, just temporarily, for about a week...

    Concerns about my tort's health

    We've had Tortomir for about a month now, and when we got him, his digestive system wasn't the best. For example: whenever he went to the bathroom, it was very runny, not firm at all. So we started him on fiber with his greens. Despite this, it is still very liquidy, and I have yet to see...

Everybody has been suggesting spring mix, but I'm still...

    What should my russian's poop look like?

    My Russian, Tortomir, is about 3 yrs old, and we haven't had him for very long. However, I think his digestive system has started regulating, as he has been going to the bathroom about once a day for the past two days. My question is: what should healthy tortoise poop look like? The last one or...

    How much food is enough for my Russian?

    I recently acquired my male Russian, Tortomir, and I just wanted to know how much food is enough for him? He is about 3 yrs old, and super active. We brought him home today, and he's been eating since before we even picked him up. I don't really know too much about the proper amount to feed him...
