Thank you. They were previously living in a card board box with no heating or lights when I took them in from their previous owners. Living on hay. Only dandelions as food source. So they're pretty content living a better life now. A lot of variety and warmth now. They love to lay under their...
I know they are Russian Tortoises. The smaller one is Male and the Larger one is Female. They came to me together, not sure if there siblings of the same batch or not. Does anyone know the Sub species of them? I've read somewhere on TFO that there are Sub species of Russian Tortoises.
The weather has been crazy!!! I don't mind the snow, but the ice is a bit too much. Haha. Especially since I'm not used to it. The cold is a bit much too!! Not caring for the cold weather. So glad my babies are nice and cozy indoors. What species of critters do you have?
Thank you everyone. I have a lid on top. It has between 85-95 degree range temps. The hot spot about 100. He is approx. 1 year old. I will put those tips into place. Thanks so much. I don't currently have a photo and I am not home. I am also living in metro Portland area now. Tualatin area. :)
Currently I keep his enclosure moist by mixing in water to his dirt about 1x weekly and spraying/misting it down with water daily, but what are some of the best ways to keep the humidity just right in the enclosure?
Nope. He's in luke warm, baby bath temp water. I feel like it's his way of chirping as if he doesn't want to be in the water. Similar to like a dog whining about something he doesn't like. Haha. Doesn't sound like it's bad.
I'm curious as to why my Sulcata is making small movements with his beak (mouth) and slight noises when it's soak time. It's as if he has a nervous tick when he's in water. Is it his way of "calling out" like he doesn't want to be in the water? He only does this when it's soak time daily. He...
It was very scary. I am very thankful he is okay and doing well. He's ready to be on the run again! I've kept him separated from the others so he could get proper healing.
