Toto has a variety of hides available to her. She chooses not to use them though. She prefers to simply bury herself when she is ready to go to sleep at night. During the day she mostly basks with all 4 legs, and her head, stretched out. :D The hides take up a fair amount of floor space and...
So, miss piggy is also quite picky, we've found. She LOVES lettuce of all kinds and everything that comes in spring mix (including radichio and frisee). She will also eat bok choy and endive. Sometimes I give her some veggies too- like cuke or zuke. But, that's pretty much it. She turns her...
I know this is a frequently asked question but I'm having a hard time discerning what is "too long" ToTo appears to walk on her nails, rather than (what might be considered) the balls of her feet, in front. I know that they can be cliped (or dremmeled) and to watch for the quick... but I am not...

We have a large tiled bathroom where the tiles are heated. We can close the closet door and toilet door and it's just a big square room. It seems like...
We're just getting started with setting our tortoises up. I placed an order for a 100w mvb and a 100w che. I am now wondering if I went a bit overboard. While awaiting their arrival, I'm using an old heatlamp of the style often used in bathroom fan/light fixtures. It is 65W. To keep the temp in...
My name is Sara. I live a bit outside of Seattle with my husband, daughter and our great dane, Sally. Husband and daughter arrived home with two russian torts today. Luckily- I've been socking away tortoise enclosure items just in case... (already had a tub and substrate and we are using found...
