Only a loss of appetite a couple weeks before but we didn’t think much of it since we kept the temp & humidity on the correct levels. Maybe my tort was sick and didn’t even know it :( Thanks for your reply.

I got it 10 years ago when it was a baby. Thanks for the info and your reply.

I figured. We kept the temp and humidity on the correct levels though. Thank you for your reply.

My tortoise just passed away. He was about 10 years old. Wondering what’s the average lifespan of these tortoises since I thought they’d live longer. My dude didn’t seem ill, but just noticed a loss of appetite the last couple of weeks. So it seemed like it was a natural cause of death.

Thank you everyone for your kind replies! Just an update on Lychee: I was able to take it to the Vet (the Links Road Clinic) and Doctor diagnosed those "neck wounds" as bilateral ruptured ear abscess. As a result since the ear, nose and throat are all connected, my little Lychee has developed...

Nope, there's a divider/wall in my tortoise box that keeps my two torts separate and I haven't taken them out for play dates in a while

Something is wrong with my youngest tortoise Lychee. I only noticed it today as it was finished eating. I picked it up and and noticed that there seems to be an open wound on both sides of its neck. When the neck folds you don't really notice it from afar but after closer inspection it looks...

Tortoise owners who reside in Toronto, Ontario: Where do you take your tortoise for a check-up?

Thanks everyone for your replies! It was actually my fathers idea of getting an additional little one and has done a ton of research on breeding tortoises. What he, and admittedly I, failed to do was search up if two Yellow Foots would even be okay together (currently kicking myself in the butt...

I've had Kiwi, my first tortoise, for 5 years now. I recently just got another tortoise named Lychee just three days ago. Depending on the sex of Lychee I'd definitely be interested in breeding them as soon as Lychee is mature. I've been keeping them in a separate enclosures for now. I don't...
