Hello mr Tom so ive been using the orchid bark and my boy seems to love it but i just cant seem to find the fine grade variant its only ever the bigger chunks i get it in 8quarts bags at Lowes the brand is bettergro
I live in south central Mississippi. I prefer cold weather, so this summer was blazingly hot even for us. I have my first two tortoises, Russians, who have to live inside because of fire ants and minks.
I apologize, I had too many characters in my post and had to shorten it. My question is do I need to add anything else to the floor of the pond and how cold does should the water be for them to hibernate.
Thank you.
Hello,
It was suggested you may be able to give me advice on Red Ear Slider turtles hibernating over winter. I live in Colorado, elevation is 7400 feet. We built a 5 foot pond with extra large river rock on the floor of the pond. The pond is enclosed in a greenhouse, to keep predators out.
Okay, Mali Is over 50 lbs She is a sweetheart, i moved us down to Arizona full time. She is getting a bit hard for me to handle. I think I’ll make some phone calls in the area. If you know (and I mean KNOW !) please pass on if you know someone
Hello NaviCherrios - I'm following up on the hingeback tortoise that you had for the summer - If we could confirm the species, I wonder if the teacher would be willing to consider placing it in a breeding program? It might be an extremely rare tortoise! I could possibly trade back a hatchling of the same species that the class could grow up. Just thinking out loud...Thanks for your help!
So happy to hear the painting helped raise a bit for the forum. What a wonderful place this is for helping each other!
I plan to post images of some of my friends I took care of in AZ
I am ex Air Force, retired, have 3 redfoots Ive raised from babies and might be able to help you. And I will NOT steal your tortoise. Can you supply any pics and give a size please? Thank you.
About two days ago I got a male Russian tortoise who is 3 and a half years old. Over all he seems happy but sometimes he seems a bit bored. If it is possible do you have some advice on how I could play or interact with him? Would you recommend any toys or activities?
My hatchling passed away I took him to the vet here his lungs weren't fully developed due to him accidentally splitting his egg a bit to soon. Does anyone know of anywhere to get a baby box turtle??????? Please let me know
