I am afraid the vet did not agree with Daisy’s prognosis. And made me surrender her to a rescue.
She said she was suffering from liver failure. And a rescue needed to take care of her. Every time she moved, her skin would flake off.

She was out growing her shell and that was very painful. All because she hasn’t hibernated in who knows how long.

The toenails and beak were the least of her problems.

I was reading a comment and lost it when I was trying to login.
It was concerning the health of my inherited three toe. I will look for a vet for it tomorrow. I have more photos to share.

3 year old sulcata, 12 inches

Hi, I was wondering if you know of any breeders of radiated tortoise in utah or California, Washington state ? Thank you

Tom, Adopting a young Redfoot in Colorado. Will have an outdoor enclosure but the tortoise will be inside too. Would your 4X3X3 enclosure doubled meet her space needs as a full grown Redfoot? Current pricing with shipping (80526) and availability? We bring our RF home on 03/19. What approach is used with your enclosures to be sure the humidity is at the right level?

Happy!

Juju the Tortoise is in need of a new home. :'( Please visit Juju the Tortoise on facebook to see how well grown and loved he has been for the past nearly 10 years. Looking to rehome to a more appropriate climate to someone who will care for him and love him for the long term.

I have question for Tom.so I have been a good tortoise father lately and bathing Milly for between 1-2 hrs daily and she loves it.So my question is about her pyramiding ….I can see that she has it but it seems to affect the front half of her shell more than the rear half. Is it because I’m finally doing things right or do I still have something wrong?

Hi Tom planning on buying grass seeds or seed mix from groworganic.com, i want to add to all of my 3 outdoor enclousures (sulcata, leopards(babckoki and giant) and aldabra) a mix of grass seeds(maybe bermuda, orchard, rye or timothy) or the horse pasture mix that you recommend, my question is should i buy all of the above and make a mix to all 3 enclousures?

Hi Krista! Looking at your habitat and thinking of making one like yours. I can only find 24 inch x3/4 x 4’.

Is yours made with a (2)8’ sheets?

Thanks!

Absolutely awesome tort name!!! 100 out of 100!!!

Tom hope all is well, going thru some really cold weather . I have my adult Indian stars in a 8 ft enclosure in my garage. I have 2 che’s and 2 heat lamps and a UV bulb. When it gets really cold I also have a heating unit in the garage. I want to get the heating and lighting correct once and for all. What should the heating temp be on both sides and should I be using a thermostat to keep the temp consistent ?

Hi Tom. These days whenever I hear the news about California floods and bad weather I always think of you. I hope you and your torts are safe and doing well.

3 female Sulcatas
3 Leopard Tortoises
5 Burmese Stars
1 Aldabra
Endless love and care for them all

Tom, you have helped me so much in the last 10 years and I just wanted to say THANKS! People always chuckle when I tell them that I learned all about caring for Samson from Tom The Dog Trainer, also from this forum. So thanks again and have a wonderful New Year!

Happy New Year from Little Dude and I.

Hi

Thought I would show you a IKEA Knoxhult cupboard (£65 ish) with b&q perspex.

Morning Mark, just asking some advice if thats ok, unfortunately i'm not able to purchase a uv meter at the moment, but when do you suggest changing the bulb on my T5 unit? it's been in use now for approx 1 year and i'm worried my tort isn't getting enough uv, it's winter here in the uk so we have no natural sunshine.
kind regards
Karen
