Ah, this exactly. Thank you, this was very touching. R.I.P to Leroy as well.[hr] Sibi, what a beautiful tort you have, he reminds me a bit of my Iggy. I'm waiting eagerly for his news, I hope all will be well, though I am sure it will be.

Thank you very much, I keep telling myself she's okay now, that she's not in pain to ease some of my grief, and it really does reassure me with that fact. We buried her in her favourite spot in the garden this morning, and it's somewhat relaxing to know that now she's somewhere she loved to be...

Thank you all, she was so sweet, I'm glad she's not in pain anymore.

I had a beautiful Marginated girl in 2007, sadly I don't have her anymore.

Wishing she was still here with me, keep all your tortoises safe.

Thank you all so much. It's been a hard day, I keep welling up at the thought of her. It's hard to convince myself she's really gone. Rest in peace.

You can find out what happened if you check my last post, but it was really late and most of the lines we rung were closed, my family were arguing and wouldn't help me find something, I went down early in the morning to check on her and she was just in the exact same space, and when I checked...

I'm traumatized to say she didn't make it, the lines were closed and in the morning when I went down to check she had sadly died. Thank you all for your help. 1st July 2007 - 16th September 2012

I can't believe it's sunday tomorrow, and that it's night at the moment. :( Thank you very much for replying

Thank you very much! I suspected a respiratory infection :S

Please help, she's been doing this for about half an hour now, directly after she ate food (food she usually eats) she opened her mouth REALLY wide, so wide I could see down her throat even though there was nothing there. She made these squelching noises and now she just puts her head down on...

Here's a picture, but she spends about 30 minutes each day out of her enclosure (not necessarily outside), and thank you for the replies so far!

Thank you very much all of you, very helpful.

I currently have a five year old marginated female, and we're definitely prepared for another tortoise, especially since our local reptile center is travelling to Germany to bring in more reptiles, and they said there are marginated tortoises there but they won't be bringing them to this country...

Thank you! Very helpful answer.

She's five years old, marginated, lives in an enclousure with uv lights, I don't know whether to try and get her to hibernate in winter because everyone seems so shocked when I say she doesn't hibernate, but I don't see any point since her enclosure is always 20+ degrees? I mean sure if she...

Earlier I was feeding my tortoise a dandelion, and she took too big a mouthful so she started making weird head movements, I helped her out a bit by pulling the dandelion out of her mouth incase she choked. She calmed down a bit, then carried on doing the weird head movements, then FINALLY took...

I fed her a TINY bit yesterday, it was adorable she came running after it, but yeah I think I'll only give it to her occasionally, thanks guys :)

Hi, so I've been wondering for a while now, are strawberries bad for tortoises? Is it bad to feed them strawberries often? If it's good for them in any way, how? I've been searching, and everybody has something different to say so I'm really confused... If you're wondering, I have a 4yr...
