Oh my gosh, starting to panic here. I've had our male leopard in with our female off and on since the summer and it looks like she's going to lay eggs. She's been ravenous lately and has started digging in her enclosure. Just a few minutes ago she also let go some mucous. I've gotten my hands...

So I'm wondering does anyone feed their torts unsoaked hard Mazuri kibbles? Our 5 year old leopard has been ravenous lately and last night I gave her 2-3 hard kibbles just to see what she would do. She enhaled them whole, no crunching them up at all. Is this what they do? and is it okay that...

Hi there, I was wondering if someone could suggest some excellent books on tortoises. I'd really like a good book on Red foots and another on Leopards. Something that has everything in it and quite up to date? I have the run of the mill books offered by pet stores but I find them lacking. I...

Well we're about a month away from having a hard killing frost, and wondering if other people use multivitamins in their tortoises' diets? I'm specifically wondering about the Rep-Cal Herptivite. I'll be having to feed ALL grocery bought greens and also whatever I can manage to grow this...

I'd like to introduce our new Leopard Tortoise. We're assuming he's a he and so named him Luka. He's approximately 3 years old, measuring 6 inches and weighing 560g. I'm tickled pink that I have had the chance to find this guy, he's absolutely gorgeous and such a nice temperment. We've...

We're just coming into our planting season and so the greenhouses are full of beautiful plants. Can someone tell me how long one should wait before feeding any of these plants that are grown at the greenhouse? I'm sure there's chemicals used and tonnes of fertilizer on them. Thanks for reading:).

Well it's been a little over 2 weeks since we brought home our little redfoot baby and all I can say it's been enjoyable to say the least. I still haven't settled on a name yet, had decided on Dozer but threw that out, just didn't seem to have much class to it. Anyway I have a few...

Hi there :), just wanted to tell everyone that we finally got our baby tort. I had been researching Leopards and had my heart set on one but alas there are none available here at the moment. The enclosure was all setup and ready. We just had our local reptile expo and as it ended up we came...
