    Vitamin supplement

    The vet didn't say why the other was better. Yes he sells it. I bought it from him. He said my tortoise is healthy. He did have worms. But that was all. He gets the last dose of worm medicine tomorrow.

    Thanks guys. Since his first dose which was last week he didnt get all the medicine in him it was more on his beak. I decided to clean his cage and disinfect everything today.

    I did some research online. It said tortoises can only get mites externally. So no wonder why the vet said "i dont understand why its in his poop". So either the vet had a dirty slide, hand, or the mite ran off the shell into the poo lol. I dunno. But i guess they are very hard to see on the...

    So the worm medicine he gave was good then? I gave him a dose just now on a leaf. He took a huge bite then was like what is this! Haha. 3 tiny little doses doesnt seem like much but if it does the job then good. So do i change the dirt after treatment or durring treatment? And should i worry...

    Mazuri food?

    Awesome. I will order some. I am not sure what to do about keeping the beak down. Maybe just a carrot twice a week? I cant think of anything else hard enough to chew on :(.

    Mazuri food?

    I offer the bone but he will not touch it at all. I keep it in his enclosure tho just incase he decides to have some one day. Yeah i read you can mix the hay in with the food not by itself. I just saw on a youtube comment some one said their russian had a piece stuck in the throat. Usually put a...

    Mazuri food?

    Hi i heard this food is great for fiber. I give my russian all sorts of greens. But i never gave him this food. Should i buy it and just put a little next to his greens? Or do you think the greens alone are best?
