Hi Guys! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, this last week has been crazy but I'm very pleased to say Capn Jack seems to be doing great! Thank you soooo much for the pumpkin recommendation...it worked like a charm. Although he did not eat all of it the first day I adjusted the...

No he did not have another option for me. He gave him a shot of antibiotics while we were there then gave me to take home..... 2 doses of medicine for the giardia to be given 14 days apart orally eye drops for the upper respiratory infection to be given one drop in each eye every 6 hours...

Yes he was eating normal until today..... Also can you please give me some pointers on the above mentioned humidity and temperature references (i.e. how to maintain them)? I don't want to sound completely ignorant here but I have to admit I feel like you know something I don't. I did...

Great idea...thanks a bunch I did think the vitamin deficiency was a bit strange because I do supplement [hr] I do not know where he picked up the giardia and the vet did not have an explanation for me. He is the only tort I have. I keep his table clean and he has a patch of grass he...

Ok guys I could really use some help. So I got a very small Leo about 3 months ago and he's been doing great. About a week ago I saw him blow a bubble out of his nose. I asked a breeder and they told me he may have an upper respiratory infection, that I should give him an extra heating pad and...

Yes that is true for dogs and cats but they do not eat the grass. Ortho confirmed that does not apply to grazing animals.[hr] Next year? I really hope that is not the case. How is he supposed to get any time outside....:([hr] Good idea...will do. Thanks!

Well it goes down into the soil so you cannot just wash it off.....

So my genius boyfriend accidentally sprayed "Ortho weed b gone for southern lawns" on the spot where I usually take my young leopard tort out to graze. Of course I have not let him out there since then but my question is when can I? Does anybody know? I did contact Ortho but they said since the...

So I've been looking at some pictures posted on this site and I've noticed a lot of aloe planted in tables/enclosures.....is this cool? I have a ton of aloe that I would love to put in Jacks table but I didn't know if he would eat it and if he did if it would be harmful to him. I've never found...

Zoo med. I know there should have been one...maybe it was a return. I got it at petco

It didn't have one :(

How high should the light be above the tortoise table? It is a 100 watt mercury vapor bulb. Thanks in advance!!!:D Jack:tort: and Jill;)

RE: Lets see your Leopards! Captain Jack Sparrow :cool:

Hello all, After what seems like a lifetime I finally have my first tort!!! Captain Jack Sparrow....:cool: It is a little boy (i'm pretty sure) leopard. He arrived on Wed the 28th and we are super excited to have him!:D

Thanks for the info. It sounded to good to be true but a website recommended it as a starter habitat. So what would you recommend as an ideal starter habitat for a baby redfoot? What size and how long would it be before I should get something bigger? Also I've seen alot of posts about sick...

Yes that is was I was referring to but the website I found had a 38 gallon for only $25. Do you think this would be safe for him/her with their little nails? Also how long would a 38 gallon be sufficient for a red foot?Thanks for the welcome!
