Bless! They always look so serious!!

Thank you! Yours looks great too! We're going to have happy tortoises :)

Thank you!! It's nice to have positive feedback! I have another thread on here about him, he's got a shell deformity because I've been keeping him wrong for a few years (I didn't know any better) so it's good to know I'm doing something right now!

Thank you!! The balls are bigger than they look, at the moment he is too small to try to eat them but I will be keeping a very close eye on him. They may be coming out anyway as my daughter was desperately trying to eat them earlier too!!! Do you think he will be able to climb over the sides? I...

Been out in the garden all afternoon sorting out Chewys patch! He is a 4 year old Herman so still very small. I will be putting bigger borders on it if he starts to climb out. He will also only be outside when I am around to keep an eye on him!

I'm in Birmingham and took my Herman for a check up last week. Cost me £37 to be seen without any treatments won't be going again unless I need to!

S/he is a 4year old Herman

Thank you :) I'm going to have a good go out there next week. Will post pictures when I'm done!

This is my garden. I have a week and hardly any money to help make this an ideal home for my Herman, chuck your suggestions at me please!

That's lovely thank you. She will always be owned by me so the cosmetic factor of how she looks won't be an issue, I just want her to be healthy.

Just so I know, is it MBD?

Thank you! I'm in the process of sorting out an outdoor enclosure for her, I've got some plug plants and weeds that I'm going to plant in there for her too. It's good to know that once I've done that I'll have got things right!

Hi! I'm new to the forum, I've got a 4 year Herman named Chewy, short for Chewbacca! I've had her for 2 years. I'm from the West Midlands in England and Chewy currently lives indoors in a tortoise table. I'm not sure whether she is starting to show signs of MBD, have booked her in at the...

It's about 10 inches from the base of the table, replaced every 9-12 months. I've just rang my LPS and they've put aside a 10% one which I'm going to pick up later on today. I feel so guilty that this has happened :(

The drops are in the drinking water and I put nutrobal (calcium & vitamins) on the food. This is why I think it's the UVB bulb that's not strong enough. I'm thinking of upping it to a 12%

Thank you. I'll measure the temperature and raise the lamp it if it's not right.

Thank you for replying! I soak her once a week, she has calcium drops in her drinking water & nutrobal on her food at least once a week. I'm not sure whether her UVB bulb isn't strong enough.

I've got a 4 year old Herman who I've had for two years. The past couple of months her shell has been growing deformed at the back. I've taken her to an exotics vet who was no help at all. He didn't know what was wrong with her and said to go back in a few months to see if there's any changes...
