    Tortoise Problems (doesn't eat well, sleeps a lot)

    I've had good luck with endive, escarole, watercress and dandelion. All can be found at the grocery store. I mix in different things to try and add variety to that list, but to date mine just picks through and finds what she wants. If I offer things she doesn't like, she simply won't eat it. If...

    Adopted Russian Tort. not eating

    I have a pretty picky little kid, and she took awhile to settle in and really start eating.

    To tank or not to tank...

    My RT is about 4 months old now, and I am following the caresheet written by @Tom for russian hatchlings, where humidity and hydration are primary factors.

    Dietary Health & Shell

Here is a pic of my baby's shell, born in late June of this year :) Thank you for posting yours! It really helps to see and read feedback. She's my first, so kinda...

    The scary part is that was probably a main feature at someone's wedding.

    How am I looking?

    What a great tip about tracing around the shell to keep track of growth. If I can get my little wiggle worm to hold still long enough, I am going to give it a try! Thank you!

    Yellow Sticky for fungas gnats?

    Thank you both :) How do you have them attached in your enclosures? I am using a tub at the moment, and getting ready to transition to a glass tank. In the picture, it shows them held up by one of those ring clamp things...I'm guessing on a post. Trying to figure out if a holder like that...
