Reading up on RF. Theyre supposed to like a list of things including cuttlebone, did I purchase a (sorry) defective (sorry) RF? They don’t act or do RF things I find on this forum. •they don’t act sick, no bubbles, no goop from any places, no shell rot, no pyramiding. Humidity is high, I got new lights (prev thread)
I’m lost. I hope they’ll act according to the book

I just put Speedy on the scale (very first weigh in since adoption on May 19)
1.25 oz - I have NOTHING to go off of.
I’ll take weight in a few days time to make sure they’re not dropping
I saw your posts about having a closed chamber for baby tortoises. My question is, at what time is the tortoise a juvenile and not a baby anymore? I have a hermann's tortoise born in 2023, it weighs 23g and is like 2 1/2 inches big. Does it still need the closed chamber with 80% min. humidity or can i move him to a open top? Thank you!
Hey bud I recently rescued an approx 45lb sulcata tortoise about 6 months ago.. I was curious if you had any tips for cleaning the bottom of thier shell, I have read if you flip them over it’s really bad on their intestines and lungs. Do you have any tips? We are currently just trying to spray underneath with a hose while they walk
Hi Tom,
I was curious if you have any male Burmese Stars for sale. We only have about 20 sq ft for an indoor enclosure so I want to get a male to maximize their space, but I am having a hard time finding one for sale that is over a year old and can tell the gender. Would appreciate any help or insight, thanks!
Wow!!!! The biggest poop from Speedy. I had to help get the rest out with a Qtip. Then a nice soak made the difference. No wonder his/her eating was slowed.
Had a little LMAO moment today! I’ve been reported and blocked off the tortoise friendly community groups on Facebook for recommending to some users to use the tortoiseforum for more credible, useful and friendly advice
I was wondering if you could help me out with any information or suggestions on this:
My step daughter’s adult male Russian tortoise has been living with us, however her mother has gotten a job placement out of the country and we are now looking for someone to rehome him to. We are in Indianapolis.
Greatly appreciate any help or suggestions you may have.
Also, so sorry for everybody who keeps seeing this it’s primarily being used for myself as a journal
