emergency

Hi, I currently live at home and have my 3 year old Hermanns. When I’m not home my mom likes to try to take him outside even though I’ve asked not to unless someone is going to keep a close eye on him while he’s out. Long story short I came home and assumed my tortoise was sleeping in his dome...

My baby red foot tortoise is having problems with her back leg. I’m scared a lizard might have attacked her while in her enclosure outside. Her back right leg is completely missing claws and the skin is peeling off. I’ve been washing the area with baby soap and applying Betadine solution and...

Hi, I was playing with my tortoise and I noticed her nail gone. I have no idea how it happened and what to do. Please help.

I have a seven year old Sulcata who’s never had any health issues. He lives in an outdoor enclosure during the summers. Eats weeds and grass and has a deep burrow he sleeps in. It’s been storming here and I brought him in on the porch to ride out the storm. While he was on the porch he ate the...

Hello, We are new here, but are needing some help with our baby sulcata tortoise who isn't doing well. My boyfriend and I purchased a tortoise, who is named Rocky, in May of this year, and was told that he was 8 weeks old (making him 4 months old now), and he seemed to be doing fine up until...

Hi guys something is wrong with my russian tortoise. Today I looked at her tale and she had this lump and something white trying to come out! I thought it was an egg at first. After helping her take it out, we noticed it wasn’t an egg but poop. We’re worried because one of her back legs is...

hello everyone. I have a 10ish year old yellow bellied slider and lately it started acting weirdly. A few days ago (a week maybe? I'm bad with timing) I put an earphone piece in front of his face (it was in the lowest volume) just so I could see how he'd react to music and then he leaned over...

Help! My Jackie was stuck in his Burrow. I think it collapsed around him. After Middle of March I got very worried he still had not come out! And when I looked in his burrow it was filled with Dirt where a tunnel use to be. I couldn’t get a shovel in there So for a few days I dug out the dirt...

Yesterday night my hatchling sulcata tortoise’s container was knocked off of what we thought was a high enough place to keep him from our boxer/greyhound mix dog. Unfortunately that was not the case and we found our dog chewing on the back of his shell while he was tipped upside down. It was a...
