    Thanks everyone. Hopefully one day in the future I'll get another. They really are the best pets! Ludo was the most friendliest little guy I could ever have asked for. I just hope he didn't suffer :(

    Urgent help needed!! (sand impaction)

    Unfortunately he's just passed away. I think while straining to get rid of the sand he's suffered a heart attack as he was pushing that hard and with him being so small he couldn't handle it. It was his birthday tomorrow as well :(

    Urgent help needed!! (sand impaction)

    My tortoise looks like he's having a fit! I took him to the vets the other day and I found he was impacted with sand that he'd been eating. She gave me reptiboost and some lactose.

    My horsefield tortoise is very poorly! HELP!

    I soak him every 2 days although he hates baths so I started doing them every 3 days as he has water in his viv. I understand it was the wrong thing to do but when I got him I was actually told twice a week (I knew that was wrong) But after reading loads of things I realise now it should be daily :(

    My tortoise Ludo has just turned 2 years old. He's a very active little tortoise. Recently (3 days maybes) He's started to not be as active and yesterday I noticed he'd not moved all day and he was very swollen. I've made an appointment with a vet for tomorrow but I'm so worried about him. I...
