    Weed killer

    Hi. About 2 years ago when we moved in we sprayed the entire garden with weed killer as it was so overgrown. Would it be ok for my little dude to eat what's growing there now?

    How often should a horsfield poop?

    Thanks. He's been having baths every day for about 30 minutes. He's outside as often as the weather permits and has a uv lamp for when it doesn't.

    How often should a horsfield poop?

    how often should a baby horsfield poop? He was off his food for a a few days but has been eating normally again for about a week. He hasn't pooped in two weeks. I've tried giving him aloe plant but still no movement. The vet days not to worry yet but advice from torty owners would be much...

    My tortoise was upside down

    Ive just come in to find my baby horsfield upside down on the cool side of his table. I last checked on him 5 hours ago so he could have been like that for 5 hours. I've put him in his bath and he's moving around in there. Will he be ok and is there anything I can do to help prevent this...

    Bathing my little guy

    Thank you :-) I think maybe it's me he doesn't like.... He always stops what he's doing to glare at me and goes into his shell whenever I go near him....he will learn to love me I think because I bring the food, lol!

    Bathing my little guy

Is that normal? I've been testing the temperature with my elbow...
