He is a hibernating species but I don't know if he had ever been hibernated I purchased from a pet store and the folks there aren't worth much for knowledge I'll go double check his temps now to make sure they haven't fluctuated
Hey all, I've had my tortoise for seven months now and feed him every morning and he happily runs over and chows down and maybe leaves himself a snack for later well, this weekend he quit eating when I put his food in but has been going over at night and eating also he doesn't seem to be as...
This guy burrowed in here last night and it's mid evening now he's out looks like he may have done some wandering around today but went back in this is the first time he has completely buried himself
That's awesome the stuff grows like crazy but I wasn't sure about it the tortoise table doesn't have it on their site but I researched it some but still want sure thank you
Just letting you all know I tried an app called garden answers to help me identify stuff in the yard all you do is take a picture and it comes up with several plants that it could be from their database if you don't trust your eye you can ask a plant effort from an extension office and they will...

So one big change I made to my enclosure this last weekend was adjusting the temperature in his enclosure I upped the temp on the baking with the addition of a different light it brought the substrate temp up to 87 degrees under the basking lamp I used my infrared thermometer the other day when...
You can't use turtle wax on a tortoise lol , so a good scrub with a soft toothbrush really cleans them up Thortoise slept for a good hour after a bath might have been a little much for him today
So the first picture is my first attempt at a good habitat for Thortoise which went pretty well for the first month but he quit using his house (I assume because it was too small) the grass in the corner made a nice decoration and became where he would sleep but then he began to crawl on top of...
Picked this up at the home depot for thirty bucks it works pretty well best I can tell you can't use it through glass or through the mesh on the top of an enclosure but gives you a good idea of the temperature at your tortoise level
