What is the best cereal in your opinion mine is fruit loops, what are your thoughts on the best cereal?

Whenever my RT goes to the bathroom, it is always dry and powdery looking. It's white and it will either clump together with the substrate or it will be loose and have almost no consistency. I don't know if this is normal or if I should be worried. I've had him for 4 days, and he eats a varied...

The title says it all, but right now since it's the winter, we have been feeding our two Russian tortoises Kale, Collard greens, and diced carrots mixed into the mixture, with occasional vitamin and calcium supplements added about every other feeding. Is this correct? I've heard some plants have...

At some point, I realized tortoise table was a website, and I love it. I just want to make sure the foods on there are safe for all species.

So my Russian refuses to have the ZooMed Grassland pellets. I have heard that this is a fairly common phenomenon. It makes it easier for me if I just feed him pellets a couple of days a week. How should I persuade him to have it? I moisten the pellets and mix them in with greens, but he will...

So today Rusky decided he was going to try and eat a rock. It's about half his size, but he kept smelling it and opening his jaws and trying to eat it. I sprinkle calcium on his food once in a while and he has a cuttlebone which he took a small bite from about a week ago. What is he up to?

one of the new 4 month olds in our care ate an entire leaf (more than the size of her) of a miniature eggplant plant. Not the fruit. The leaf looks like fig leaves and it didn’t occur to me to check ... She’s basically finished and gone off for a sleep, shall I do anything or just let it...

Hello everyone! My name is Ty and Im a college student in Colorado with tons of reptile experience with lizards, snakes, toads and frogs, but no tortoise experience. I got little Yerba the Sulcata about 2 months ago, and I have fallen in love with her. Im fully aware of the size she will grow...

I’m trying to find decent pellets for my two Sulcatas in bulk so it’s cheaper. (For when I run out of regular fresh stuff.) All I can find is 3lb plastic jars.

Here are some pictures from about 2 months back, I can't find my first ones. Here are the new ones: I'm just curious as to if he's growing properly. His shell doesn't feel like it's pyramiding. Is it supposed to flatten out a bit around the back of it? That's the only thing that's...

My tortoise had been doing well in general health until I left home for three weeks for camp and he was left in the care of my parents. But when I came back he looked severely emaciated and was not doing well overall. His shell, which had only recently healed, begun looking like it was flaking...

Hello! My name is Sky and I am a box turtle enthusiast from the beautiful Central California. I recently discovered this site as a way to get advice and tips from fellow turtle owners. I currently own one three toed box turtle but plan to expand my friendship to tortoises as soon as I am...

She's still mad at me.
