sometimes when i’m in a room i’ll let my tortoise walk around a bit to get some roam time, and i usually have one or two articles of my clothing on the floor ( i’m a teenager it’s a usual thing) and for months i’ve noticed my tortoise prefers to sit on my clothes then actually roam, he will sit...
thank you !!! i will try all of these things! i assumed he was still healthy after monitoring him because he still moves around ( he got a little excited with his rocks yesterday if yk what i mean ) and he still eats and has good urates, so i’m trying different foods to see if any will help him out
i moved his lamp a little to make it warmer but it’s well over 90 normally in his basking area and that’s usually where he sleeps bc he makes little holes to sleep in, i moved it because he has been more active lately so maybe he wasn’t getting warm enough to poop bc of that ? im not sure to be...
hello again
i post on here quite often because i’m always concerned about my little guy, but he’s a year and a half eastern hermann’s tortoise, and well i haven’t seen him poop in a couple days, i don’t know the exact amount but i know he hasn’t since christmas day, i can’t remember before...
no, but he does like to climb around a lot and usually gets himself into sticky situations, the one thing i could think of his maybe he scraped his head against the wooden hide ?
hello!
i have a year and a half old eastern hermanns torotise and i’ve noticed a white spot above his ear, that isn’t normal, ( i’ll ask pictures) not sure if it’s an abscess or skin, i will make a vet appointment as soon as it’s open again ( holidays right now ) but i wanted to see what...
okay i’ll try, uhm he’s been staying ab the same but has been getting up super early and then sleeping a lot but will run and walk around a bunch when he’s not in his enclosure ( i took him outside to eat today ) is that normal? he’s still wheezing and sneezing, wheezing is sometimes consistent...
any advice to getting his enclosure to 85 degrees at night, without an fans or ac or anything ( i moved the room i sleep in so i can keep his room warm) it’s staying at high 70s at night
uhm i don’t know the exact name of the tops stuff but it’s like little wood chips and then the bottom is coconut choir, i thought so too ab the dryness but i just recently changed the substrate so it’s still very damp, i try to keep it as damp as possible but i’ll get a timer to run his mister
hello! i have a one year old eastern hermanns tortoise and lately i’ve noticed only when he goes to bed he sneeze and i have heard some wheezing come from him. i’m really concerned and am convinced it’s a URI i already have a vet app set for his one year checkup but the problem is the closest...
he’s not even 5 inches big and he won’t grow more than 6 the thats why im doing the two levels and 5 feet, it’s literally impossible to keep him in and 4x8 bc that’s the size of like a normal room
hey guys i’m back lol, my tortoise turned 1 today !! he’s being as energetic as ever and even has started following me around the house whenever i have him walking about ( it rains a lot where i am and sometimes he needs to burn off some energy so i let him walk around it’s totally safe tho he’s...
heyo im back
A lot of ppl told me my tortoise would be stressed out if i took him camping and well, he is actually doing great and enjoying himself ! day 1 of camping went great, he did amazing in the car ride there and had a fun time running around in the grass of the campground eating...
