Lol I guess he wants to eat without us watch jaja!!
Sorry for al the forums I am just excited to see him more active!He doesn’t seem to like anything..green I gave him!
Ima try strawberries!
I’m probably gonna head out to sprouts now to get him some more stuff!
I gave him organic spinach and red chord just in case he wants to try something!! Now he’s just under the light like before!Well, and my redfoot doesn't like cilantro, but my leo does. I think its a bit 'spicy' so it might take him a second to like it.
I think most people forgo the vet with torts until there is something seriously wrong only because most vets aren't very knowledgeable about torts. There's no course on them in vet school and so they just assume they are like other reptiles and give them shots and things that could really harm them... if Tom or someone else says differently though, go with Tom lol.I gave him organic spinach and red chord just in case he wants to try something!!

I wouid like to take him in for a vet check up! What would be the recommendation vet here in the western area of USA!
I’m definitely gonna get those for my little guy!

My leo likes to bask too. Hes just warming himself up now that he has the chance id bet. Both my torts love both dandelion greens offered at sprouts and escarole and endive. I never have a hard time getting them to eat those. They also like the arugula.
Ok for the first time he’s actually cooking himself...what???
Thank you, Mark! I never even considered a marketing ploy, but it makes sense.This is a correct incandescent bulb of the type we recommend and should be good for the tortoise.
Many guarantees are sales generators. They know from research that most folks do not bother with guarantees after a year or so on a small $ item. The added sales from a long gurantee outweigh the few people that will actually use the guarantee if a bulb fails in 4 years or so.
If you have them, try Albertson's. They're not cheap, but usually have a good selection of greens, including endive/escarole and radicchio.Lol I guess he wants to eat without us watch jaja!!
Yes, Im actually on my way to sprouts!!If you have them, try Albertson's. They're not cheap, but usually have a good selection of greens, including endive/escarole and radicchio.
Yes I’m actually checking out sprouts now! Once he’s all settled in with his substrate and hopefully a higher basking thing..I will definitely take more pictures!What a cute name!
Once you receive everything, we’d love to see some more pictures. Also, just as a reminder (not trying to be redundant), kale, spinach and chard aren't great food items, but not toxic. For now, it’s okay to feed since you are still figuring/sorting things out, but later on, if you must use grocery store greens favor endive and escarole. If possible, you can also get dandelion greens, mustard greens, cilantro, turnip and radish tops, bok choy, wheatgrass, and collard greens from most grocery stores (like Sprouts I believe). Make sure to rotate each item out every day to provide a variety. You can also check out Kapidolo Farms for dried foods and Tortoise Supply for some seed mixes and other supplementary food items.
Recommendation for dessert Tortoise?? I’m in website now and checking it out!!What a cute name!

Alright I got mustard greens, bok choy, turnip, dandelion Greens and collard greens and endive !Ok so the thermometer comes in I believe tomorrow or something! What’s funmy is the light fixture came with fish tank thermo ??
since I am probably gonna keep the tub for a little while longer before getting something bigger...should I get a second thermometer/humidity or just an extra F?
