Certainly creative .... So many considerations too. Bear in mind ease of cleaning and the impact the entire set up will have on the room. But well done on thinking big !!

Not quite sure where your coming from mike. Is it the sully's created enough poop to match two bags of mulch or the mulch became a pile of poop lol

We have had a lot of dodgy UVB coils coming into the UK from China mainly through eBay and traders selling them in kits. They have been found to produce either too much very little or none at all. So only buy a recognised brand if you are using them.

Just be sure the vet knows the procedure. If they are familiar with torts it will be a quick thing with little fuss, knowing Leo's she might sulk a little but torts live in the now, and will soon forget the ordeal. :0)

Lol .... We do !! Well the cockerels. Don't think we will be chopping trees. Although the fifty ft pear is getting dangerous when the fruits come down lol. It's such a sorry tale to hear, to have these amazing creatures suffering where you are. Two weeks !!! That's dreadful :(:(

They were not bothered by it, the Ibera felt it more I think but they are smaller but they soon got over it :0)

It's not an op as such, it's put in the skin layers in the back leg, more like an injection, it's worth doing I think Lyn, it would stop any argument or dispute if she was lost and then somebody claimed it was theirs but you knew differently. Can't dispute a chip !! You have to weigh up the...

Good old blue peter lol ... I didn't know graeca were the most common. I have two Ibera , would love some little Egyptians , running out of space though, unless I drastically reduce the hens and chop down a few trees :0/

Oh to live where the wild torts grow !!! So many escapees are our little Russians lol.... All cites registered torts are now supposed to be microchipped here in the UK. Sadly all the tropical and the Russian are not cites registered so they don't need to be, mine are chipped so god forbid they...

Working in the vets, it has become known that I keep tortoises and l am constantly reading and researching their needs and diet. Clients often ask and say I would love a tortoise. They are surprised when I say there are many out there needing homes, they think they are rare here in the uk. I...

Welcome, pull up a heat lamp and get comfy, there is soooooo much useful info on here. The care sheets are some of the best I've seen. :0)

Hopefully it's nothing to worry about. Keep us posted :0)

Most allium sp are considered toxic to tortoises as are most plants that produce a bulb. In small doses it may not cause any noticeable reaction, long term it could be a different matter. Tortoises metabolise so slowly the long term effect on kidneys liver etc are not known. The first thing we...

It looks a bit like a Tradescantia sp. I wouldn't feed it to your torts just in case it's a no. Sorry I can't be certain .

The list of predators you have Tom is pretty scary lol .... Our biggest threat are badger and fox or the pet dog. Or the neighbours cat that likes to use the torts pen as a litter tray !!!

Yeah I know, we had the warning too. :0(

Do you have access to dandelions and other salad leaves, Russians are generally good doers. In the wild they will be in hibernation or aestivation for upto nine months of the year !! So they tend to eat a lot if it's available. If the torts on a table indoors I would not feed daily. And ruskies...

Great photo, we've been quite lucky with the weather here lately, long may it last :0)

Have to say the Russians are very confident and certainly do like to climb. I would say glass as it won't get scratched so easily. Allow a five inch blacked out bottom of the glass , I bet he will still stretch up and look lol. They like to slide too !!! Daft but they do, a slate ramp works well...

Yes sorry... Need to be sure I get meanings across , a bin here is what we put rubbish or waste in, we don't until recently call large containers that you put can use for other things bins. I should know better, having worked for American travel company in the past lol x
