I think evidence from enough people is proof enough for me they need humidity.

Everybody with any decency does that, how else would we get our egg quota? Besides I can one up that. I feed my chickens chicken and tell them its Turkey. And they like it! Boom!

My chickens are named after chicken dishes. Guess I'm not as righteous of a chicken rights advocate as I thought I was.

Perfect I'll give that stuff a try too! I did buy orchid bark, a bunch, after reading the whole "mulch is terrible and you're a disgusting human being if you use it" bit on Facebook. So, I'll try that next. I'm loading up their house with mulch and coir now and see how they like it. It's still...

I'm finally figuring that out lol. Glad you all set me straight, it didnt sound right......

It's like Leopard Toroise World Wide or something similar. Really a pretty good group and support system, nice people and some helpful info. But also maybe some incorrect and very strong opinions not necessarily backed by science, like the mulch thing.

Guys, we dont talk about eating or sacrificing chickens in my presence. Just because I'm on a tortoise forum right now doesnt mean I'm not a bat s*** crazy chicken lady. ??

Thank you so much! The info on FB and here is so conflicting but I really have confidence in this group so I figured it was worth an ask. Thank you a million you've been so helpful. I'm in the vet industry and I'm aware of all the wrong info that circulates FB about cats and dogs so it only...

Hello group, I'm relatively new to the tortoise world and as many people know the information out there varies GREATLY. I trust this group and I've read many of the past threads about cypress mulch here. Wanted to just confirm people here are OK with some mulch (forest floor specifically) in a...

Well it's not really an enclosure so to speak, it's just my whole yard. But yes I'll get pics of the sides we reinforced and see what you guys think when I get home from work. Hes much improved and even is eating again thank goodness. He feels like a new man after just a few days if meds. Cant...

Thank you! I have been dosing him he fits in my bathtub, barely lol. But I did buy him a pool yesterday so I dont have to clean my tub everyday. Which ofcourse I dont mind but this is way easier. Does the water need to be warm? QUOTE="iAmCentrochelys sulcata, post: 1811788, member: 117612"]...

Exactly! The vet said he was dehydrated today. He got fluids but I was also instructed to soak him. Poor baby hes too sweet to be sick :(

Can I see some peoples enclosures or yards for large tortis?

Thank you! I hope so, I'm so worried I'll mess it up lol.

Hello all! I'm new here and I just got a 40lb 2.5 foot africian spurred. Hes been badly mistreated (I do not believe intentionally though). His shell isnt right and hes already been the vet and received loads of medications in clinic and sent home as well as fluids to rehydrate his poor...
