I have looked through some cmments. He did not die from anything with his food and was actually a very healthy tortoise. My other tortoise was very territorial. She split a very big 75 gallon tank in half, hers and his, him having a smaller half. She wasn't letting him do anything and I was...
Thank you all for your concern.
I don't think I will be doing this much longer. I did seperate them, but I put the one being bullied into a smaller space, basically setting him up for death. I killed him.......
As I wrote in my last post I went to florida for a week. Yesterday we started driving home, me my grandma, my mom, my grandmas friend, and my little brother. We stopped at a rest stop, and I got a call from my dad. My 2 1/2 year old tortoise has died of unknown causes. I cried for 5 hours...
I found that somehow my tortoise is acting better than yesterday, I took her outside and let them do what they wanted and they have been good ever since, not even really noticing that eachother was there. I think that she has just been a little weird because she didn't like to be here. I'm kinda...
I wasn't sure what category to put this under so I'm hoping people can still help me. My female tortoise has started to build boundries in my 75 gallon tank. There is a limited amount of space in the tank and I don't want them to havve limited roaming space. My female has taken the side of the...

So this morning I woke up and looked over at my tortoise tank (it is in my bedroom). And first thing I did was go over and turn on the light and I saw that my male tortoise was already out next to his log, and he was just stairing at the glass. I put my hand in there and pet his head and he...

My tortoise has really long nails and I was told by people at my local pet store that I should just let them grow. I have rocks in there enclosure but they don't seem to be doing anything to the nails, I wanted to file them a little with a delicate nail file that I have. Should I do it or just...
I would be sure to perfect her diet because I know that is sometimes the cause of it. And you are right that patience is the key to everything in the hobby. I know I will use all of this as advice for when mine are ready! :P
My boy "taz" is by the little red bowl near the front right corner, and my girl is going into her log in the back left. Hope you can see my picture! :P
I hope to finish my enclosure soon because I want to post pictures, but I have an open top 75 gallon tank, 2 heat lamps, a large log, potted edible plants (I double checked), a big water tub with a fountain and cleaner(no soap), with plenty of roaming space and rocks to climb on, it is a 18"...
I live in northeastern ohio. I have 2 russian tortoises, its only 2 of them and no I cannot keep them in an outdoor enclosure because I live in an apartment. I believe that they have enough room, I keep them in a large 75 gallon container. I am not keeping them because I want to breed them, I...
