Hi. This summer fires in Croatia are very frequent. The last one, near Zadar, still isn't under control. Unfortunately, it has been set up. Many houses are burnt to ground and some innocent tortoise lifes have been taken. This little one survived, as the newspaper say that way. But honestly I'm...
Hi :). We are planning to build an outdoor enclosure for our Hermanni that would only temporary (this summer) be on our balcony as we are moving this autumn. It would be a wooden table, 300 cm long and 90 wide with coir, some shade water etc. But the problem is...we measured the temps on...
So we bought this. It has a nice smell and ingredients are pretty good. You are supposed to mix one part with three parts water and boil it. Then you let is sit at room temp until firm. My guy doesn't like it. Surprise surprise :p. I think I'll get the superveggie too, as it is a supplement. Has...
Can my Hermanni have some of these cooked? I would like him to have some extra protein once in a month. They would be frozen and I would cook them as The tortoise table say they contain something bad which goes away on high temperatures.
Hi :). I'm making some changes with my tortoise lighting system as I think his current clamp lamps aren't safe. So he has an uv tube for uvb light and two previously mentioned heat lamps. One is a spot lamp and the other one is a regular household bulb...
Hi! I found a man who sells aloe vera, sempervivum and opuntia and want to buy some from my baby. He said he doesn't use pesticides or any other chemicals on them. Substrate is humus and some store bought soil. My question is, would repotting still be necessary? Their main use for me would be...
Hello :). I just bought this beautiful house for my tortoise. But would like to know what kind of wood is this and is it tortoise safe. It doesn't say anything on the label, just real wood. It's from a German company called Karlie.
Hello! :). We have two of these big ones and I was wondering what are they and are they safe for my tortoise enclosure. They look like red pitaya to me but I'm not sure.
Hello :). I ordered one of this a few days ago and was all excited for its arrival but today while searching the net I came to some threads on various forums. People stated that their habbas are made from cedar wood which is known as toxic to reptiles. Does anyone else have this stuff? Should I...
Hello! :). Merry Christmas to everyone who is celebrating. I hope someone experienced will give me a review. I have a Hermann 20 yrs old. He had a vet check and fecal done, worms were present so he was wormed twice with panacur 2 weeks apart. I weight him on regular basis. 1.10.-668 g...
So I ordered some for my adult Hermann and he likes it. I soaked it in warm water for a minute and it is soft. But...the problem is...when he tries to eat it, it's like stuck to his throat and he is trying hard to swallow it. I don't know if any of you had the same issue. This is his first...
Is this normal? I noticed this a few months ago and today again. One is raised and almost fallen off and two look like they will. He is active, was climbing and digging yesterday and is eating. Thanks :)
What do you do when you buy s plant for a tortoise enclousure? I found a man who sells aloe vera and will buy one for my little friend. He said he didn't treat it with chemicals because he males juice from it. But my concern is the soil. Should I repott it? :)
My mom is a plant enthusiast and she has a few grown sempervivum. I took the baby ones, rinsed them with water and planted them in coconut coir. Are these sempervivum? :)
Hi! So I have a simillar problem like a member who posted about his russian. My male Hermann had a period of wrong diet while he was under parents supervision this summer for 2 weeks. They fed him tomato and lettuce. And now he only wants to eat tomato. Things worked well for previous 2 weeks...
