Ditto, people just give me a blank stare when I talk about how cute they are or something funny they did :s lol
He is still very lethargic but managing a few nibbles a day and tiny poops, just very sleepy but a little better. Mike??

Yeah mike is the same. He's sleeping in weird areas. Just falls asleep in his food or random places in his viv :s I'm hoping it's the time of year and current climate. Fingers crossed! How old is yoshi? And what kind of tort is he?

He is a 10month Russian, he is so small which makes me worry more!

I'm seeing more and more people with similar posts so I'm starting to think that even if their temps are maintained they can sense the climate change somehow. I could be way off though.

Do Russians grow big? Mike is a western hermanns, which, I do believe and I have read, grow smaller than normal hermanns, so fully grown they only measure between 4-6 inches. But I know what you mean, the issue date on my papers is the date in assuming he hatched, as they're in German. Which means he is 15 months, and probably between 1-1.5 inches. Yes so have I, which is putting my mind at ease slightly. I just hope I don't fail him, as many young torts tend to fail easily.

It's all good then. Mike has a really nice color. Do you need to pay more for that? Cause we have similar color here like yours, and the price is more expensive.

Thankyou. And not that I'm aware? He was £149.00 but he was already microchipped and came with papers, so that's a reasonable price I think. He's a western hermanns, I think they all have that coloration, as the other torts that were with him, all had same colours on their shells.

Very cute. However, the little white things in the enclosure, I think you need to get rid of them. They look like either little stones or the fertilizer stuff that comes in planting soils. Either way they it needs to go or could/will cause problems.

They're limestone particals. It's incase he eats some of it, they contain calcium and it doesn't cause impaction
