Speedy is happy munching his fresh leaves and dandelions.

Yummy dandelions

Tasty Dandelions

Hey! Lately I've become quite concerned of my tortoise ): We took him out of hibernation 8 days ago on sunday. On sunday he seemed usual to me, like what he's always been after hibernation. He went in his water container, drank some and then went to sleep, wasn't awake too much. Now he has eaten...

We got a Hermann tortoise on Christmas eve from a local exotic pet shop here in the UK. We have a 1.2m x 0.6m tortoise table for it. Since we brought it home in the afternoon it it's barely had anything to eat (some dandelion stems), but has been out walking about and basking a bit. It seems to...

Today's lunch is a fine meal.... A bed of Romaine Lettuce, served with a fresh helping of diced Celery, Snow Pea's, fresh Tomato, and a sprig of Cilantro.

Today El Merlin had a simple lunch and shared it with his best friend Starry. El Merlin loves his dandelions and romaine leaf topped with LS pellets. Starry likes to nibble on the LS pellets when she see's them!

El Merlin likes to play with his food and wear it as a mask... sometimes like today he chased the cat away for getting to close and then finished his meal! The menu today is a bit of diced baby carrot, yellow squash, cucumber, topped with Mazuri LS food pellets, on top of romaine lettuce leaf....

Hi new tortoise owner here. I’ve had my 4.5 inch female Russian tortoise, Sprinkles, since Friday. From what I’ve read they usually have a great appetite and she doesn’t seem to be eating a lot,she eats her greens but doesn’t touch her dried flowers or pellets. Ive only tried pellets a couple...

Hello all, I am new, so hello!!! I got a Russian tortoise last Tuesday, 7 days ago from petco, and she hasn’t eating anything…….. She’ll drink water while she soaks and she is pooping and peeing after each soak, once a day or every other day. I have offered her spring mix, yellow squash, bok...

Hi! I recently adopted a russian tortoise, believed to be male, not sure how old. His name is Scooter, he isn’t very big. I’ve had him for a little over a month now, and some days I feel like I’m not feeding him enough. I usually give him a pretty big handful or two of food every day, sometimes...

Hello all my tortoise is around 2 years old and has suddenly stoped eating he is drinking and is still moving about but I I’ve noticed a small cut on his neck and that his nose seems to be a little bit runny I was just wondering if any one could help before I take him to the vets as I’m a bit...

My Russian makes this noise like when a bare foot is in a sandal and it is wet and it kind of squeegies when you walk. She makes it when she swallow normally and also sometimes when she is eating. Is this normal?

Hi everyone, Could you please all offer advice… this evening I found what I thought was our little tort choking on a long piece of green leaf, which seemed to be caught in her mouth and throat. I immediately panicked, and seeing she was trying to hook at it with her arm, I jumped to help and...

Hello, I hope you all are having a good day. My box turtle is not active and has not been eating much. Once in a while, he will eat a worm, but that's it. His setup is a large square "pool" with dirt logs some leaves a fern and a water bowl. I've tried berries, but he just does not eat. Any...

I have a star tortoise. It's my first time and i don't know his age as it was previously owned by someone else. He seems comfortable in the new environment and is friendly with all of us but i have noticed during his meal he makes a choking kind of sound. It happens once or twice every time he...
