sick

Hi Everyone, Thanks for taking your time to read my thread and offering your help and advice! I got a new baby russian tortise, Yoshi, on 5/16/2018. He was suppose to be 6 months, but he was really small imo and only weighed in at 22g. His weight progression has been steady. One week later...

So, I saw a post on a page about an owner willing to get rid of his torts. They are Indian star tortoises, and they do not look like they have had the greatest care. Before we even get started, please do not get your wheels turning about biosecurity. As soon as I get them they are going into...

it’s been at least 3 days now and all she does is burrows. We’ve finally i think gotten the heat/humidity right, but she doesn’t seem to want to go back to eating.

hi guys! My name is Danielle and I’m new to the forum! I have two 5 month old baby sulcatas that I love dearly! However, one of them is sick! Leonard has been very lethargic lately, he hasn’t been eating, even rejected strawberries. His eyes are now shut and the sides of his shell are starting...

And then I realized he hasn’t pooped or peed the last couple days when I soaked him. He usually is pretty active during the day, but he stopped...

Rusky is a young tortoise, living in a temporary 1 1/2 x 3 ft tank. I got him about a month ago. He was not eating much, but he ate every day. However, he has not eaten for three days now, and has been sleeping almost nonstop, burrowing in different areas around his enclosure. I think he may be...

Hello everyone I have a young yellow footed tortoise. I'm worried I'm feeding her the wrong things because she is so lightweight. She doesn't eat too much either. I just recently held a redfoot tortoise around the same age as my yellow Foot Tortoise and he was about twice as heavy. Can...

Our current Vet for our tortoise is fantastic. But it took effort to find her. Even though we live in a big city and were members of the Tortoise Society, we still went through five vets over the years to find this one. We finally found her through on-line searching and reviews and referrals...
