I got two baby tortoises before knowing that it’s not a good idea to keep two. I’m not sure if they’re female or male but if they’re both female , would it be harmless to keep them both? can you help me identify the gender? Thank you!

Hi there, I am new to tortoise ownership. I just took a tortoise from a family member who was just keeping it in an old fish tank. It’s eyes are closed majority of the time, I’ve yet to see it eat. I did soaks already and brought it outside to sit in the sun and this resulted in him finally...

So I recently bought a baby red foot tortoise from a website called tortoise town. Came in the mail very healthy doing great. About a week later I get a package and it’s another baby red foot that I didn’t order. The second one that came hasn’t eaten since I’ve gotten him about a week ago but...

Hi , Im preparing for my first tortoise ! it is a baby Hermann tortoise. I have a tortoise table set up- its roughly 2feet by 3feet. For substrate I'm planning on using a 50/50 combo of organic top soil and Eco-earth and dehydrated moss, with drawer liners and a trash bag lining the wood where...

Hi everyone, I'm hoping that someone here can help me. Yesterday, I picked up my hatchling Indian Star. What I had set up in his enclosure prior to his arrival was a 100W ZooMed MVB on a ZooMed light stand. As of now, he's in a ZooMed Tortoise House until he gets larger. To compensate for the...

Ive had Jasper for about four months now. We have an enclosure set up for him with all of the lights and heating that was recommended and I try to keep it as humid as possible. I’ve noticed though that there are crevices between his scutes, and I’m wondering if it’s the beginning of pyramiding...

Do you approve of sweaters / turtle toppers for your tortoise? Why or why not? Personally, I love them. Jasper has several for every occasion and he quite likes them. I don’t ever keep them on for more than 20 minutes at a time, and only use them a few times a month, but they’re cute and he...

I didn’t know which claim to supplement my babies with, and I was going to get the rep-cal, but I ended up purchasing the National Geographic Reptile Calcium supplement Powder. it has D3 since I keep them indoors most of the time. Before trying I just wanted to know any opinions if anyone has...
