    How do I treat wounds from rat attack

    My little Russian tortoise managed to get into my (much larger) desert enclosure and she chewed him up a bit. Nothing like this. But you could see that he was completely hiding in his shell and where he was being attacked by her. Hoping for the best outcome for your beautiful tortoise. I can’t...

    I feel awful, but I need your help!

    You know he only wants to hear your voice and see what you are offering for breakfast. Just don’t call him”Late for Dinner “😂(sorry 🤣)😂

    Thank you. I hope we are invited to visit again. It was a great day for all. That was with the kindergartners.

    Thanks everyone for your input. One of the moms took pictures, but I don’t have any. Sorry. We had a great visit. It was the 1st and 2nd grade class and I brought grape leaves and rose of Sharon flowers and the tortoise performed beautifully. All the kids got to take turns touching him and they...

    Thank you. I’m taking notes from past threads and doing a little research. It’s 1st and 2nd graders who we will be visiting, hoping to keep it fairly simple. How do I contact Team Gomberg? (My technical skills are limited)

    Never mind. I just found these threads from past discussions. I’m getting excited for our little field trip. Hoping we can be out on the grass. I have asked about any chemical treatments out there. I know my guy would love meeting kids out on their playground.

    My kids would like to bring their desert tortoise to school for a brief visit for show and tell. I’ll be watching closely and kids will be instructed to “look, don’t touch”. It’s a private school, small class sizes, well maintained… Are there any reasons that we should not do this?

    Girls. Short tails. That’s about the size mine were when they killed their sibling. It’s an awful thing to come home and see…

    Iceberg Lettuce?

    I understand what you are saying Yvonne, and have definitely come a long way from feeding green beans and squash (plus dandelion, mulberry and grape leaves) since joining TFN and have learned so much. I value the experience and wisdom presented here and advise any tortoise owner that I meet to...

    Iceberg Lettuce?

    My DT had to stay up all last winter because he was sick, and as Mark said, no leaves, no weeds…Fortunately, I had a good variety of dried stuff from kapidolo and made him lettuce wraps every day with romaine. He wintered well.

    I think i will probably lose this debate but... FOR ARGUMENTS SAKE!

    My rather large DT, Sonny (when he was about 20 years old, probably 8 pounds or so) had a lovely yard. 45’ x 45’. Nice mulberry tree, grass, …Then someone gave me this little Russian, Juliet. I made a divider wall of cinder blocks in Sonny’s yard to keep them apart. Juliet had everything any...
