Yes, this. My son's teacher has a wish list for her classroom and all I see is her name "Ms. Smith" and "Needed for room 107". When I place an order it gets shipped to her and I don't see anything else about her name or address.

You didn't ask, I offered. :) If you look at my thumbnail profile picture you can see our redfoot, Oliver, with a turtle stuffed animal that my 9yo son stacked on top of him (Have you read Yurtle the Turtle by Dr. Seuss? a fav in our house). My son loves all types of turtles/tortoises and I...

I really doubt someone would come to a "Tortoise Discussion Forum" and pose as an 11 year old to extort turtle food from unsuspecting kind hearted people who love tortoises and want to help her enjoy her two little ones as much as the rest of us presumably enjoy ours. Sometimes it's good to be...

Can you buy the pellet food on Amazon? If so, create an Amazon WISH LIST and share the name of it with us (maybe use Jaid10 since that's your name here so we easily make the connection). Then we can go to Amazon, look it up and purchase food there. Amazon ships it directly to you without...

I may get criticized for this but we live in downtown Chicago, no yard. My 17 yo redfoot goes out on our balcony, our rooftop deck, and sleeps in our closet, or in the bathroom (his choice). He has outgrown every habitat we have created for him and yes, we could get something bigger, but he...

Yay, he's eating... as of today. He's still limping on the leg where he got the shot but I guess with a slow turtle metabolism it could take longer for the muscle soreness to subside. I figure if it's a good two days for a person who gets a shot in the arm it's maybe 5 - 6 days for a turtle...

Foot looks great and he seems to be drinking plenty, but he's not eating yet and hasn't since his "day of trauma" as we are now calling it. He hasn't been outside since the whole foot thing began but I put him outside about an hour ago and will give him a couple hours (mild temps today) and see...

Okay, thanks, that makes me feel a little better. We live in Chicago and when the days are short and it's little colder, he will sleep for sometimes three days straight so I don't worry about eating then (he'll come out for food when he's ready) I was concerned this time because he is usually a...

I'm coming back to this thread because I have a new concern but it stems from the old one so the details of that are above. Turtle was very upset yesterday. He threw up while we were a the Dr. (I didn't know a turtle *could* throw up) and he was concerned that it was quite a lot of water (it...

You were both right. We got in to see the Dr. today and he removed the scale and it bled but he had stuff for that. Turtle also got an antibiotics shot to ensure it doesn't become infected since there is a bit of an open wound now. And since we were there we added on the pedicure and beak trim...

My redfoot (about 14yo, about 19 lbs) has a foot injury that happened yesterday. I think he stepped on the threshold of our sliding glass door and it pulled at a "scale" (I don't know what it's called but that's what it looks like) on the bottom of his foot. It's not near the nail, toward the...
