Tortoise Forum

Hi Carol,

I’m interested in a Russian Tortoise hatchling. I’d love to chat with you about owning one. Wondering when the next available batch will be! Thanks

Hi, I just got a red foot yesterday from a local pet shop. He actually still had a yolk sack last week.
This is my first tortoise, the guy at the pet shop told me just to put paper towels on the bottom of a glass cage for right now and not have a water dish in there but to take him out once or twice a week to soak him for 10 minutes. He said not to mist his tank right now. Can you help?

I had a question about snapdragons, everywhere I read it says there’s no known hazards and is safe to feed as a varied diet, I just want to be 100% sure before feeding to my sulcata. Has anyone fed there’s snapdragon leaves or even flowers?

Hello i new here and i dont know much about Tortoises. I only made this account because our female laid eggs and we have a male with her so i assume they're fertilized. we had originally planned to keep and help the eggs but now we cant. If anyone near Pomona, CA would like some eggs to hopefully have some tortoises soon please reply.

So my Tortoises only likes lettuce he hisses at me if I give him anything else! What can I do.
