Hi Carol. I am new and looking into getting a Russian Tortoise. I have been looking and doing my research to make sure I have the appropriate set up for when I get one. I have heard that you breed them. I live in Pennsylvania is shipping possible here and what is the cost? I am not ready to get one yet but I am working on gathering information and learning all I can. When would you have some available?
I need to remove my 75 pound Sulcata tortoise from Sacramento California to my daughters house in Pensacola Florida. Any suggestions on me transporting him.?
Hello, I'm looking to give away a Russian tortoise who has been with us for about 6 years. My daughter, his main caretaker, is going away to college. Please help find a loving home for our little guy.
Hi Tom, I rescued a big Sulcata from a neighbor. He wasn't being fed/housed properly. He's approx. 15-16?-weighs about 70 lbs. Need suggestions for housing him in winter. We've kept him in the basement the last two winters but looking for alternative, if possible, because of mess and smell. I'm in NE Ohio. Have you suggestions? Thank you, Donna (Tortilla lover).
Archies enclosure is finally set up correctly! He has two CHEs with a thermostat, coco coir topped with reptibark, the greenhouse, and the UVB is here it just needs to be hung up properly!
Hello, Good pellets for sulcata should be low in protein, high in fiber, right? What % should the protein be? Is 18% protein, 20-26% fiber good? I'm confused about what pellets to use, I'm confused between T balance pellets, JGS premium torto food, Zion nutrimax and Mazuri. The composition and ingredients of the pellets I mentioned earlier are good. so I'm confused, can you give a recommendation?
I got a baby red foot turtle. My first time with a red foot.
I feel lost specially with management temperature and humidity in south Florida. Now is very hot, around 93 degrees and I see the baby inside the hiding spot and not too active. IDK, any recommendations on how manage this extreme temps here ? My plan is keep him outside, but now not too sure if this is ok.
Any recommendations.
Thanks!
hi, I want to ask, is it safe to give Rept shine (shell moisturizer) to the torto shell so it doesn't dry out? Because the humidity in my cage is only 40-53 and I can't increase the humidity in my cage to 80 or above. And I don't want my sulcata pyramiding because the shell is too dry. Please answer
