Mm I'm disheartened, I was in at an exotics store that's well respected a few towns over today - he was gobsmacked this wee guys made it to 15, I'm devastated to say they dont think hes in the best of shape - deformities from bad care as a hatchling, poor diet, ridged shell where it shouldn't...
Thanks, hes off the fleece...I'm on a store checking out substrate, cuttle fish, food flower toppers and calcium powders...am I heading in the right direction?
Hoping this is what my wee guy is, he's got the skirt style shell, though the upper plates are long dark and yellow interspersed vertical stripes...thanks loads for the sheets!
We live in scotland, I'd kill him in the cold even if I could find sunlight here atm, so hes by the heater with that light...wide awake, kinda pulsing his limbs under the rays. Hes eating and passing fine, just chased the cat away...gees, I'm feeling like a first time mummy atm. I'm really...
Thanks so much for the information, I got him from a colleague that rescued him from a woman keeping him in a rabbit hutch with a desk lamp. Hes always free roamed and never wintered...its guessed hes about 15 years old, 'm not sure this wee guy knows quite what normal is.
Thanks so much again...
Hi everyone! I've just found you all. I recently was given a tortoise to care for - ive no idea what type he is . Can anyone help? I'd be very grateful.
Thanks!
