Thank you for the reply. My temperature is always above 29c. Does the 80 to 99% humidity rule also apply to adult stars?

Hi, can someone advise me? What should be the ventilation % be ? My current opening on top is 50%, humidity is at 60%

Is the above picture Mustard Green? And is this suitable for star tortoise?

Hi John, may I know what humidity % do you keep it at? Is it always at 99%?

I bought zoo med grassland tortoise food and my tortoises have been avoiding them for 3 days. 🙁

I only feed them the 2 pallets I had posted. I don’t know what natural foods are suitable for them. I tried giving them endives and Timothy hay before but they ate the pallets instead.

I currently feed these 2 pellets to my stars. Can I add in zoo med grassland tortoise food? What about Mazuri Tortoise diet LS, is this suitable for them also? Thanks.

I will add 1 star in and upgrade the tank size. btw when u give yr tortoise their daily soak, how do u keep the water warm? For me I will put them back into the tank so the water can stay warm.

Right now they are still small. yes I know they need to be separated or I will add one more in.

I decided to stop injecting them with the Enrofloxacin. They look alright to me. No more wet or bubble nose.

I started by adding the medicine to their mazuri pallet. They smelled it and avoided the food. i had no choice but to use injection.

Yes this medicine is supposed to be given oral but my tortoises are too small to force them open their mouth. I went back a second time to the vet to purchase the injection method. I could see my tortoise in pain after the injection. It just lied there with its head out, eyes closed and...

I have a ceramic heater inside the tank. Night temperature with heater is 31c. Without heater is about 27.8c. I covered the top of my tank with acrylic, humidity is always at 99% No aircon in the room.

Can someone please advise me what to do? my tortoise nose has bubble and is watery. It’s been almost a week. But his eyes are open most of the time, eats a lot and his poop is solid. What does this mean? Does he need to see a vet or he will get better after some time?

Both tortoises have it. It happened a few days ago.

My day temperatures are correct. at night time it’s around 27 celcius and 99% humidity. is it because of my night condition that’s why my tortoise have watery nose?

Can star tortoise catch respiratory infection if my humidity is always at 99%?

Tom?

The thermometer is at the bottom on the right side of the tank in the centre. Its below the wire on the right side, blocked by the spider plant. Yes I soaked my tortoises every day. I dont think I can increase the height of my substrate if not the distance will be very close of the UVA. My...
