Hi guys! You all seem like a friendly bunch and I love looking at the pictures of your tortoises! My special little guy is called Dimitri and he's a 3 year old Horsefield tortoise... Here's some pictures of him just being generally adorable:')
Hello welcome to the forum I would switch your substrate pellets are not good for them for many reasons you could go with cypress mulch, organic soil, coco coir
Welcome to the Tortoise Forum!! Dimitri is a real cutey-pie. Looks like he might be captive bred rather than wild caught. I agree about the pellets for substrate. Its awfully dry, and hard for little tortoises to walk on.
What would you like us to call you?
...and may we know appx. where in the world you are?
thank you for all your positive responses i feel very welcomed! and to answer the substrate question this is just a temporary measure until I can get to the pet store tomorrow and I'm in the uk here's some more pics of 'Mitri (when he was in the garden this morning)
