She wasn't near the lamp thankfully, she's in a wooden tort table. Her table is too small and I'm currently working on sourcing the wood the expand it. She's nibbling at yesterday's food and stomping around so I assume that's a good sign. I'm scared to give her breakfast in case that makes...

I've just woken up to find my baby on her back waving her arms and legs around. I suppose I could take out the large rocks so she can't flip herself on them but I think she did it by trying to climb up the corner of her tort table. She's always climbing. I've just been reading a thread on here...

I made my first post a couple of days ago in a complete panic as I'd recently found out that literally everything I'd been doing for my tort was wrong despite having paid good money for the information on a course. As part of rectifying my mistakes I bought a table, which has just arrived. I've...

I know fresh out of the garden dandelions are best but I live in a very agricultural area, sometimes you can taste the pesticides in the air. Not to mention the rats peeing everywhere and the diseased wild rabbits pooping on everything. I worry my little dinosaur would catch some nasty disease...

Haha! My dad says he looks like Magnum P.I. as my mother-in-law says he looks like Poirot.

aww, nooo! Thankfully the cat is scared of him so he won't be getting eaten!

I can definitely see the benefit of them making tortoises easier to see although I have to say I think Ken's balloon idea is genius!!

When this pic was taken we'd only had him for about 6 hours and they need to be left alone to start feeling safe, he has just had a brush and looks even more adorable! Also got rid of the wood shavings as they were sticking in his fur, he's got sheets of newspaper instead now. His mummy was a...

This is Rengar. (Named after a character from the video game League of Legends) I'm pretty confident he is the worlds cutest bunny. He has a mustache and rockstar hair and I love him!!

Yes! This is the reason I'd want one! I'd spend £ or ££ (dont know how much they cost) on a hat Id put on her for a total of 10 mins to do one photo shoot then I'd need another one. She's expensive enough already without having her own wardrobe!!

That's a really interesting point. I was really tempted when I saw them but then the 'boring' side of my brain kicked in and started asking questions! I'm confident mine would try and eat one, she attacked a tea towel yesterday :rolleyes:

I got a quote alert but as tom said, no text from you

I was wondering how people felt about these hats: They are created by Katie Bradley who sells them from an Etsy shop. I think we can all agree they are adorable and cute but I have a few concerns. Firstly, overheating. Secondly, I can't imagine that it'd be good for them if they decided...

I often wondered if mine ever managed to (somehow!) slide her vivarium open if she'd walk of the edge. So I slid it open and watched to see what she'd do. She stomped over to the edge and looked down. And she just stayed there, peering straight down, it was like she understood she couldn't just...

I nearly didn't post a pic because I was terrified someone would comment on her beak/nails/shell/eyes/skin so that's a HUGE relief!

I will keep this in mind. I try to put her outside whenever possible, my parents have a big garden with a secure fence and she hasn't escaped in 10 years! She's only really in her vivarium at night or in winter. So much helpful advice and friendliness, I really appreciate it! :)

I don't need to be asked twice! I'm also a massive Terry Pratchett fan, so umm, this once happened: This will look insane to people who haven't read the dicswrold books! No glue/bluetack just balanced on her shell for 2 mins to get a picture, she walked too fast and it fell off then she...

Wow, thank you for those links! Feeling less panicky now! She's had an outdoor run since day 1 but the bookcase with shelves knocked out idea is fantastic! Will be great for my bunny too! :D

I got my hermanns tortoise 10 years ago when I was 11. My parents were obviously responsible for her when I was that young but they'd never had a reptile before. We are a family of animal lovers and would be devastated to think we'd ever harmed an animal in any way, so they went on a tortoise...
