Hi. About 2 years ago when we moved in we sprayed the entire garden with weed killer as it was so overgrown. Would it be ok for my little dude to eat what's growing there now?

Thanks. He's been having baths every day for about 30 minutes. He's outside as often as the weather permits and has a uv lamp for when it doesn't.

how often should a baby horsfield poop? He was off his food for a a few days but has been eating normally again for about a week. He hasn't pooped in two weeks. I've tried giving him aloe plant but still no movement. The vet days not to worry yet but advice from torty owners would be much...

Hi, I have a Russian and he is on sterilised top soil. Should I be keeping it moist? Also, is it possible to give him too much calcium? He has calcium powder every other day and a cuttlefish. Thanks

He wasn't near the rocks. He was next to his water bowl which is shallow and I can't see how he would fall off it...

Ive just come in to find my baby horsfield upside down on the cool side of his table. I last checked on him 5 hours ago so he could have been like that for 5 hours. I've put him in his bath and he's moving around in there. Will he be ok and is there anything I can do to help prevent this...

Hi! Can my little horsfield eat red and green kale, red cos, green Batavia and mizuna please???

Thank you :-) I think maybe it's me he doesn't like.... He always stops what he's doing to glare at me and goes into his shell whenever I go near him....he will learn to love me I think because I bring the food, lol!

Thanks :-) I thought he hated it. He often sits like that under his basking lamp too. It makes sense now! Thank you :-)

hi, I've been giving my little Russian tort a bath ever other day to keep him hydrated but when I put him in he looks like he isn't liking it and also points all his limbs out straight right from the moment the water touches him. Is that normal? I've been testing the temperature with my elbow...

Cheshire, England! 5 degrees is warm to us! Lol! It's warmer in the day...freezing at night...

My lamp is a bayonet fitting. I can only seem to find those bulbs in a screw fitting :-(

Hi, I've just changed from a red basking lamp to a white one as I'm told this is better for my baby Horsfield. I was wondering what the best thing to do at night is? It gets pretty cold in my house, probably about 5 degrees Celsius, and I don't want him to get cold or hibernate but I also...
