A couple of weeks ago i noticed a dark spot on my torts neck. I thought it was just old skin that would fall off.
This morning I noticed that it is still there, and has gotten bigger. It looks like a wart. What is this?
It doen't look like hes affected by it now, he acts all normal, he has a...
I have two male hermannis in separate enclosures. They have water, food, and their temperatures are good. No matter how much space I give them they keep running at the walls. They do this for several hours every day. And they are making so much noise that I cant stay in the same room without...
Hi, I am using a mix (50/50) of Repti bark and Aspen Snake bedding. Both from Zoo Meds. Is this ok for adult hermanns? Should I add something? Change everything? Keep it?
Hi,
One of my hermannis is making a wierd, almost whisteling sound when he breaths. He eats, sleeps, poops and everything else seems to be normal. What can this be?
I am a bit cencerned that I dont give my torts enough of a varied diet. As i live in Norway there is limited access to wild plants throughout the year. In the summer i feed them mostly dandelion, but also clover and other wild plants i find around my house. But in the winter I don't have this. I...
Hi everyone!
I'm just wondering how often is it normal that a tortoise "poops" out uric acid? I havent seen this white stuff in a while.
My tortoises are both male hermanns - What determines how often, and how often is it normal for them to poop out this "white stuff"?
Hi, I need some help for a new setup for my tortoises....
I know "nothing" about the differences in the UV-bulbs, so I need some help to chose the right bulb for my torts. In Pet-stores here in Norway everything is expensive, so buying online is what im most likely going to do. I need two bulbs...
I looked on ebay for UV-lights, would this be OK to use for an indoor enclosure? My tortoises are hermanns.

Hi, I am thinking of making new enclosures for my hermanns because the ones I have now are a bit small. I have two male hermanns, one boettgeri and one hercegovinensis. They do not like eachother, thats why I have them in two separate enclosues.
I live in Norway, so I am of course talking...
It has been a while since I posted on this forum, but a few years ago I made an introduction post on my tortoises which you can find here: http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/my-tortoises.28806/
Even though no one remember me or my torts I thought it would be cool to give you a small update...
I thought I could give you guys an introduction to my little tortoises. They are both Males - One Testudo Hermanni Hercegovenisis and one Testudo Hermanni Boettgeri.
They do not live in the same place because they may start fighting when they meet eachother.
The oldest one is my Boettgeri...
Hello.
I got this new guy about, 3-4 months ago.
We "rescued" him from a family who couldn't take care of him anymore.
They said it was a female, but I'm pretty sure it is a male.
They said he was about two years old - But I think he is more like 5-6 years old. They also said it was a T...
Hi.
I have two Greeks and I'm thinking about feeding them with an insect once in a while..
I have only given them salads, different types of weeds and some fruit. And also some commercial Tortoise food.
Would my tortoises eat insects in the wild? And should i give them insects? What kind...
Hello, Im going to make a new enclosure for my Greek Tortoise.
He is About 5 inches long, so how do you think i should build the enclosure.
Any Ideas? Photos of how i should do it?
Thank you!
Hello. I have two Greek Tortoises. They are both males so they are not in the same encloseure or in the same room.
I live in Norway, but i don't think the temperature is a problem for them because we always remember to close the doors and windows so they wont get cold.
But my problem is...
