[JoesMum]

I've finally watched this now I'm at home and not using up my phone's data allowance, I've had a busy day!

He's lovely

I'd get a few stones in their for him to scramble over and maybe add a plant or two for him to nibble on/

 

[sportychick]

Thanks Yes I plan on getting the cuddlebone and some other things to get him working lol.. he is very active as u see. He looks bigger on they video as I'm close up bad using my phone for the video filming.

Dies his shell look OK? I was looking at some shells that are pyramiding and I don't want this to happen it is bad. His shell looks lifted a bit in the back but I think that is normal God I should stop reading lol

 

[sportychick]

Hehe oops btw I realized its called a cuttlefish haha going to get it tomorrow. And can I use any stone from outside for his tank to stumble across?

 

[sportychick]

I'm going to he getting flat stones for him to scramble across and lay.on I pray he looks OK and is dong well..

 

[JoesMum]

How's the shell? It feels hard but the back bottom. Looks a little up (since I got him.) Just want to check again to make sure he's doing well and looking well

Mega lol ill post some tommorow so you can see how ours sleep very cute!! Lol

 

[sportychick]

I just.love the way he passed out. Its cute... awesome can't wait to see urs

He looks good no pyramiding as for age it is hard to tell my 3 WC russians are all older ones except for my female. I would hazard a guess at 1 to 2 years based on how he looks in your hand, But age is impossible to tell without a hatch date. I wouldn't worry to much about his age though, just relax and enjoy him.

 

[sportychick]

Yeah I have a pic here of him in my sons hand also.. son is 4. So its hard to tell.. but if he is.between 1-2 I guess that's good as he seems healthy and he shouldn't be as hard as a hatchling to care for
I am enjoying him..as is my son. He's a big help in feeding crusher

 

[sportychick]

Breakfast yay

This morning he was fed peppers,dandelions flower and leaves and rose leaves. He seemed really interested in the pepper but frustrated at the same time having to bite and pull and fight to get it lol. Since I didn't make it small enough for a single bite

 

[JoesMum]

A very cute sleepy tort. I really wouldn't stress about a few sleepy days. Make sure you soak him to keep him hydrated and double check the temperatures in your viv (warm end, cool end, basking and overnight min).

As outside temps change seasonally, it can affect the temps in your viv without you realising

 

[sportychick]

Will do. Today he was up for about 5 hrs ate walked basked.. he is outside on the balcony in a bigger space enjoying the sun. He is in his hide which is.in shade sleeping b ut I'm going.to leave him there for awhile to enjoy the breezes and sunshine.....
He enjoyed his food today

How's ur tort doing?

 

[sportychick]

Leaving him out there was great he always.kept coming out from his hide to browse around... went to his water but quickly ran from that lol. Hoping that he starts to go soak on his own soon he did not go into his hide for bed until 6 this evening at the end of the week coming we are going to be getting him a bigger space!!! And adding the stones as mentioned! I can't wait! I bet he will love it
