She only really nipped once during my 4 hours of observing and as it turns she just up and laid eggs?! I doubt theyre fertile or viable she is only about 5 inches. But thank you everyone.
So 3 days ago I got a female hermans tort who had been tanked with a male her whole life because the previous owner believed she was a male too. But her little stubby tail and lack of shell flaring alluded differently.
Well, now for the past 3 hours shes been running nonstop and biting our other...
I've had cats nearly all my life. Right now I have, Mufasa, June, and Mama Cat. When I first brought my tort, Tiny Tim, home the cats didn't notice him. Then one day I let Tim explore the kitchen after a bath and each cat walked right up and sniffed him. Mama Cat was shy and ran away after her...
I soak him for 15 minutes 2 to three times a day and only a small amount of white urate has been produced since treatment but there was no urate or poop before and extreme lethargy before treatment. Now he's got snots but at least he wants to eat and has produced any urates. And thanks for the...
Tiny Tim's RI seems to have gotten worse now since his third dosing of Amikacin hes showing his first snot bubbles. He released some urates but still no poo. And he was hungry again for the first time in about a week.
Thanks today he stood up for the first time! His cute little butt was all the way in the air! I'm so happy to know he really is going to be been able to walk again someday!
I really hope it does too he hates the needles
And the only symptoms of anything we saw before we took him to the vet were that he refused to eat was having troubles pottying and then the bloating. Over the course of 4 days he started bloating which the vet said was air?
They picked him up and...
Sorry for the delay guys I took tiny tim to North Star VETS and they said he had a respiratory infection and gave me Amikacin to inject daily in his front legs and hopefully eveything should sort workk its self our... and I cant peove or deny north stars diagnosis to give them my personal...
RE: Something is wrong!
Going to the herpatologist tomorrow at 10 am and he does hurt he let's us know it hurts its very sad. I'm so sorry for him previous owners claim they never even noticed he didn't like to use his back legs... how do you not notice your tortoise can't walk and is covered...
RE: Something is wrong!
Hes got a ubv light now and i should have it back tomorrow any idea what could help i also give calcium drops on his food every 3rd feeding
So I've posted about tiny tim before and have since changed his bedding to coir and he eats spring mix and carrots and stuff and no spinach and I gave him cucumbers a few days ago mostly for the water content because his previous owners had never bathed him or gave him water. He has an obvious...
So i've posted before (several times) about my newly adopted tiny Tim. His previous owners had no idea what they were doing. I've had him for going on two weeks. He has started to use his back legs a little bit I'll see step here or there but I've come to notice he barely moves at all. He sleeps...
The new growth is cool i get it is just he has strange little white dots that dont come up as well on camera as they do in real life and he was owned by negligent people since he was about 6mnths old but is now about 5 years old
[hr]
And one of his scutes is peeling in a thick dry brittle layer
Thanks i'll get more coir and do it over again but does the fact that his bowl isnt in the sand mean anything? He doesnt get any sand in his food or coir either? I mean i just went and bought all this stuff which was a litttle more expensive then was expected and the fact that we drove 5 hours...
As I was bathing tiny tim today and I noticed he's had a few weird spots on his shell. And dr. Google of course always shows the worst thing possible first. But is there really a dry shell rot does? my buddy have it? I took lots of pics his edges are a little see through and his undercarriage...
Re: My poor Tiny Tim!
Well to be more exact his "sand" is walnut shells and vitasand mixed before it got to the tank. his tank looks like this though ,I have moved most of his toys out Cuz I washed them but per the handful his substrate looks like this and his tank looks like tht
RE: My poor Tiny Tim!
Well the lack of calcium and the home depot wood chips are both things that would cause metabolic bone disease(not actually a disease) which would make his legs not work and his shell develop wrong also. Its like he couldn't walk anywhere because the wood chips were too...
