    HELP PLEASE! SHELL ILLNESS

    Something is wrong with his shell. I suppose it is because he eats too much. What should I do? Have anyone had such kind of problem?

    Tortoise not getting up during the day or eating

    Hi, something similar may have been asked before, but I'll ask anyway. My young horsfield tortoise (just under a year or so) has always been an active climber, eater and digger; but the last few days, he has not been getting up at all during the day, and consequently not eating. I left it for...

    Bilbo’s New Home (pt. 2)

    Bilbo’s old owner never bathed him nor cleaned his tank so I’ve been bathing him every three days and have made what I believe to be a bioactive terrarium with night crawlers and redwigglers to help reduce the amount of waste in the tank I have to clean.

    Bilbo’s New Home (pt.1)

    Bilbo is my first ever tortoise. He is just over 2 years old and I adopted him 4/9/20 from someone off of Craigslist. Bilbo seems to be in good shape but seems a little timid. He hasn’t eaten in front of me yet but every other day I set out fresh spring mix in his bowl and keep his water dish full.

    Tortoise’s pee is brownish red, help

    Here’s my tortoises pee, she eats a lot of dandelions but the past two days she’s mostly eaten kale and collards so I don’t see why it’s so red. Is it time for me to find a reputable vet?
