Hey quick question to all - my little hermanns tortoise has just done his urate and it is blue, like really blue - he did have a purple and yellow viola petals and some red Komoda Tortoise Diet pellets yesterday but I am not aware of any blue food he has eaten that would colour it. I Have read...

Ohh not a bad idea, I will try him with some raddichio - thank you for the food advice! he is still not eating a ton in the morning but tends to binge more in the afternoon. I love the fact that in that picture it seems Zola is as big as his raddichio!

Got the new coco coir laid and the humidity is far better straight away even on a table! Jackjack is now taking a snooze in his new substrate while he basks! Thank you both for your help Zolasmum and Tom! got some plants coming and some material to create a tent to help with the humidity!

Yeah I already about no vitamin injections, I think on another thread - we have a pretty good reptile vet up here but I am a pretty stubborn person and I won't let them do anything other than a general check up, like you would do with a dog :)

We plan to get/make him an enclosure for outside time, right now I am making sure I am staying on top of him while he is out. Right OK, wanna avoid the pyramiding, the coco coir is coming in the morning along with the stuff to make a humid hide for him, I am dampening the substrate regularly...

Morning Angie, JackJack is ok it seems so far, he is still not the most active he could be and is being stubborn and only eating petals and not his greens. Maybe I am just an over worrier and he is trying to manipulate me for more flowers 😂 Waiting on come coco coir being delivered so I can...

Great thanks Tom, I will look at getting some of those bulbs instead and save up some pennies for a shiny viv for him and in the mean time try my hardest to give him the best humidity I can! Hopefully he is just being a little lazy cos when were out in the sun yesterday he was really active!

He is only about 7 months, we have had him for about a month - he is JackJack, I am Benny. We were feeding him on grocery store greens, all the stuff recommended from other places but he has recently snubbed those and is enjoying viola flowers and dandelion greens instead.

Hi Angie, It is Barnsley in the UK yes :) I am doing my best but I feel like we have been given a lot of incorrect advice before finding here! I can only hope I can keep him going!

Thank you Tom, I will change the substrate to Coco Coir and I think I need to take a look at the lighting too as we were given and recommended a mercury Vapor one - when you say “flood” light on your other thread do you mean ones like these? Sylvania 15160-6 120-Volt 65-Watt Flood Lamp Bulbs (6...

Hey All, New here and I have my first tortoise, a little Hermann's (I believe an Eastern) - currently I am using ProRep Tortoise Life Mediterranean but it gets really dry really quick, I have read that Top Soil with play sand and coconut coir is good for helping keeping it a little more...
