greek

Hi! I am new to the forum, my name is Emily, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on where to get a Greek tortoise? Someone that will ship. Wanted to make sure I support a good breeder and also get a healthy one (juvenile). Thanks! *edited to say I am in the US

Hi dear tort owners! I don’t own a tortoise yet, but I’ll be adopting a Greek Hermann’s in a few weeks/months. Is it okay to take your tortoise for walks? Won’t it be stressed out in a new environment or getting him out of his enclosure? I’d love to take him/her out on walks near the side...

Hello, a tortoise was found in the parking lot of my wife work. Looks like she's had it a bit rough. She has damage to her shell, some missing toenails, but beyond that, she is very active and seems to be in good health. We believe she has been out in the wilds for a while now. Here are my...

I have had a spur-thighed greek tortoise (Noah) since October 2018, and he is lovely! I am considering getting another tortoise, I have read up on and researched the extra space and other considerations needed when introducing two tortoises. My question is, can Noah be joined by a marginated...

Well, technically I’ve been here for awhile, but I never introduced myself or my tortoise, Lumos. I’ve been passionate about animals all my life but box turtles were always my favorite, and after years and years of hunting the woods for them, and years and years of adoring them, I said screw...

Hey y'all. Looking for tortoises to adopt. Must be friendly. I have a huge fenced in back yard and heated homes for the summer months, and I have a tortoise room for the cooler months. These tortoises will be spoiled!!! I'm looking more for leopards or smaller, but looking to adopt many.

I have had a young greek tortoise for about three weeks and all of that time he is having diarrhea. No matter what I feed him it just wont go away. Most of the days I am feeding him rocket, lamb's lettuce, salad mix, sunflower shoots. I have also tried cat grass but he seems not to like it. I...

Hello! I am very inconsistent with my posting, but you are all so helpful when I have a concern, and I couldn't be more grateful. For background, I have a 1 year old Jordanian Greek named Sgt. Pepper. He is the light of my life, he lives in my living room (forcefully) so my whole family can see...

Hi all, this is my first post here :D So I have 2 tortoises, one is around 34 years old an another greek tortoise that is 20 months old now. The elder one eats everything, but the youngest one is only eating lettuce. I tried carrots and tomatoes without any success, she just doesn't eat, than...

Hello, my baby Greek has started to squeak, at first I thought the worst and assumed RI so rushed him down the vet for a course of antibiotics now I'm not so sure. He only seems to start squeaking after he has eaten (and he does love to eat) I thought he might be chocking at first as he also...

Hello! I have got 3 Egyptian tortoises; 2 small-size, 1 medium and 1 Greek medium-sized. My question, Is it safe to put them together? Or do I have to seperate them? Like 3 Egyptians in an enclosure and 1 Greek in another. I can provide pictures if needed.

I've had my Greek tort for close to 13 years now, its turning 16 in a month. I live in Canada, so the weather gets really cold at times, but at the moment it isn't super cold out yet (ranging from 15-20 degrees C). Turtle (my tort's name), has a fairly large enclosure with ReptiBark bedding. The...

I've had him for almost ten years, but I recently moved into a house with my kid asthmatic autistic brother-in-law, and my asthmatic sister-in-law, and I can't keep him here anymore. He is a wonderful tortoise, he is super active and friendly, he'll eat right out of your hands. He has been to a...

She's still mad at me.

The bacon equivalent - lettuce. If someone calls tortoises slow, that's because they haven't seen this spur-thighed Greek goddess get a glimpse at lettuce.

... now let's just make some things clear. Meet Kaia, the curious :)
