    Picky eater or something more serious?

    You guys are all very right it seems Geoffrey was just being a big brat. He just caved in and began to eat his greens, I'm relieved. Thank you for your advice. I'm a first time owner so I over think things. I just want to make sure I'm giving him what he needs is all!

    How can I prevent my tortoise from flipping over?

    That's a great idea thank you! I'm going to give it a try if I see him continue to flip over. So far the ramp I macgyvered has been doing the trick but it doesn't seem as permanent of a solution as your suggestion.

    Picky eater or something more serious?

    He was enjoying his grass he's just not wanted to eat anything after that hibiscus flower he's had. Today he's taking small bites from his collard greens. I'm worried but at the same time I suspect he's being a big brat. I'm going to be watching him and if I notice anything odd I'll be taking...

    Picky eater or something more serious?

    Just an update it is day two and he still isn't eating, I put collard greens and he took a nibble but then left it uninterested. Activity levels are the same and he pooped during his soak this morning too. I'm going to buy some kale seeing that he loves it just to make sure he is ok. If he...

    How can I prevent my tortoise from flipping over?

    Thank you everyone so much. I took the advice of adding more substrate and making a more permanent ramp. He really loves to dig so it's not only helped with him not flipping over he has plenty of material to dig into!

    Picky eater or something more serious?

    Geoffrey has been rejecting to eat the grass that he loved last week. I ran out of grass due to the fact that I am growing it myself indoors so in the meantime I gave him kale and collard greens. He loves the kale and nibbles on the collard greens. I gave him grass three days ago and he loved...

    How can I prevent my tortoise from flipping over?

    Should I block all 4 walls? And I've watched him climb the log and I temporarily made a ramp out of the dirt unto he log and he's been using it and not flipping over. It's a temporary solution that will give me time to go out and look for something at the store. Thank you for your help!

    First time tortoise owner in much need of advice. Juvenile sulcata

    Thank you all so much! You were right he has adapted to his new home very well and is a happy eater always munching on the wheatgrass I grow for him. He is only ok if I soak him in the mornings before he eats, if it's in the evening he gets fussy and tries to climb out of his bath. Is this...

    How can I prevent my tortoise from flipping over?

    hello! My sulcata Geoffrey is very active all the time other than we he sleeps at night or takes a nap. With this being said he has this tendency of climbing his log and recently I have been finding him flipped over and stressed out. Luckily I have been working from home these past two weeks but...
