For those who know what I’ve been threw with my tortoise. I am too lack luster to summarize it all, but he passed away at the pet store. I gave him back to them so they would take him to the vet without charge. They didn’t say what caused it, but at least he didn’t pass away in my care. I’m not...

My russian tortoise makes noises I know he shouldn’t be making. He wheezes. I know he has a pneumonia and worms because vomiting and wheezing is not normal. I keep asking for advice from the pet store and on here but nothing is helping. I can’t afforded vet bills so my only options are to get...

No, I read that they can have a little fruit on occasion

If there is something in his throat, how do we get it out?(tweezers)

He is not eating but he drinks if I put him in a soak

The second and third video show strange behavior(watch him close one eye and then close the other and then open one eye and then the other)(his mouth is opened and he cranes his head to hiss while no one is near him)

I made a thread saying insensitive things about my tortoise and for those who have seen them, I apologize sincerely. I made those threads impulsively because I couldn’t get my tortoise to eat. Now I know that my tortoise needs time to adjust and is not eating because he needs to get acclimated...

It can’t be a diet change that caused my torts diarrhea because he won’t eat anything I give him(I’ve given him a spring mix without spinach and just to be curious a small piece of an apple)

My Russian tortoise is about five or four inches long,male. The cool side of his enclosure is humid about 70% and it’s in the 70’s degrees Fahrenheit over there and dark. The other side of his enclosure is bright and in the 80’s including in the basking spot. My tortoise pooped green stuff...

I’m gonna take him to the vet because he has green diarrhea

My tort is a Russian tortoise; the temps on the cool end are in the 70’s then the other end is in the 80-86 degrees Fahrenheit range and the basking spot is in the 86 degrees because my lamp fixture is probably too big and the enclosure is not that huge. But I finnaly figured out that my...
