Auswickia

Hello, I wanted to know if Greek or the overall testudo family have the chance of being infected by this bacteria.

Yes, there was a post or thread not too long ago. It has spread into most if not all species.

Austwickia chelonae - New Information & What to do if you see it

OK guys. During the past year I have observed/treated tortoises with Austwickia and documented the results. I have also discussed this disease with several veterinarians at this point and it's time for a data dump. General information on the disease: 1. The "yellow bump" disease is caused...

I think my yearling Sulcata could have this disease but be mostly un symptomatic, I also have a subadult Greek and although they live in separate enclosures its still in the same room. I will have to move the greek to another room, but the current enclosure simply do not fit in the space I have planned so I browsed through amazon and found this: GUTINNEEN Tortoise House Indoor Tortoise Enclosure Habitat Wooden Turtle Cage with Lamp Holder Raised Detachable Legs https://a.co/d/9gOQF6b
Would this be appropriate for it to stay for a couple of months? 4.8 inch carapass.

That is much too small for a 5 inch tortoise.

Like Tom said much too small. Those are not good enclosures even for a hatchling because it's too open top.

Yeah what I thought too, even if they walk less than common russians.
