Im a little worried my cousins might have given too much dry food and mealworm to my tortoises, im not sure about the amount they ate. So I gave them 2 small pieces of prickly pear each, is there anything else i can do or give my tortoise to make the journy out easier ? I thought they might get...
Hi this is my first post, I've lurked around this forum for awhile and decided to join since I had some questions and were making me doubt my decisions a lot. Some info on my baby tort is that it is a Redfoot and around 3 months or so of age and I've had him for about a week. I live in the...

Hi Everyone:
New user here trying to figure out what is going on with two of our tortoises. Two of them are developing these white lines on the shells at the joints (see pictures). What is this? What is causing it? How do we treat it?
Thank you!
