    Tortoise Photo Show!! (Videos Welcome)

    Are you guys in the UK? Someone mentioned that PetsMart sold imported adult torts. I'm wondering if that's because they're in the UK, and torts have to be shipped to the UK, although here in the US, I'm pretty sure that the PetsMarts here have a breeding program. I've checked, and the US has...

    Tortoise Photo Show!! (Videos Welcome)

    Quick tip on torts who hate car rides... What I usually do is snuggle up with Shellie or let her sit in my lap, which usually calms her and she she doesn't pee and poop everywhere LOL.

    I'm new! Can I have some tips on my tort?

    I asked him if she looked like a female based on the tail, and he said yes, but there are occasional changes.

    Also, the bottom of her she'll is actually sort of round.

    This is a pic of Shellie. I'm not sure if she is a Russian, the sign on the enclosure only said Testudo Tortoise.

    I'm new! Can I have some tips on my tort?

    My vet said Shellie was likely to be a female, unless there were any changes, which happens sometimes. Also, Sam's Choice Apple juice is actually 100% apples, I checked. I will make sure I don't feed her too much though, because a Russian tort should only have 10% fruit or less. Like you said...

    I'm new! Can I have some tips on my tort?

    One more thing... If you have trouble with a picky tortoise, I just soak Shellie's Grassland Tortoise Food in Sam's Choice apple juice, and she loves that!
