Hi guys, Relatively new Hermann’s owner - just a quick question for anybody who would like to offer advice. I did and continue to do ALOT of research into how to best keep my little guy, I pretty much have everything like temp, enclosure, meals and daily routine down to a T. But one think...

Hello, I am extremely worried while typing this. The past few days my 9month old sulcata tortoise has been extremely lethargic when she is usually very active and eating twice a day.

Hi all, I am not new to the tortoise world as I owned a sulcata and a redfoot in the past (though not at the same time). I rehomed my sulcata about a year after acquiring it back in 2010 because I was one of those who purchased on a whim without realizing how big it will get. I am from NYC and...

Hi, I’m new to this so I don’t even know if I’m posting this question in the right place but I bought two baby (6month) red foot tortoises and a ‘beginners set up’ from my local pet shop and basically I think they didn’t give me enough information and was just misleading me and wanting to rip me...

Hey all, it's been a while since my last update, but Durda is doing great! He gets soaked every day for 30 minutes, I have four pans and 3 little pots of grass growing for him that I rotate as needed, I recently started growing clover and hibiscus for him, and he enjoys the flowers we grow in...
