hi everyone, I'm new to the group. I posted last week about our new RF we got last Sunday. I was a little concerned about some of the things he was doing and didn't know what was normal with him being our first. Today I had the vet come check him out and he has been diagnosed with a RI/pneumonia...

HE CAME OUT ON HIS OWN!!!!! I just glanced over and he had come out of his hidey hole and was eating. I'm so so so so happy!!!

Awesome! Thanks so much!!

I just got home from the reptile shop. I invested in an automatic mister for him. I will update later on how it works!

Ok thanks! I will do that. Here's an update: when I went to bed last. Ugly he was sitting under the basking light and when I woke he was in the same a lot. Didn't move all night. I made him breakfast and put it in his tank and put him in his fish and he's devouring it. He just doesn't seem to go...

Here he is eating dinner.

Thanks everyone! I've always wanted a tortoise and loved the size of the RF. We names him Gordie. Like Gordie the Torti. LOL. I made another post asking a few questions on general stuff. Would love to hear your opinions!

Thanks everyone! Randi, do you have a humidifier in her tank at all? I'm wondering if it's worth the investment. Ok so his name...lol...is Gordie the Torti. Bahahahahahhaah. My husband and two year old daughter came up with that one. Since he ate he's moved over under his basking light. He so cute.

Here he is eating.

I took him out from his hidyy hole and put him in his food dish and he's eating lots again. I wanted to look at his eyes and see if they are ok. If he was hungry why wouldn't he come out on his own to eat? Should I kee bringing him out a few times a day to eat?

Thanks, I will give moving the light a try!

Thank you so much! I did have his food in a little dish and then someone suggested spreading it out as they are natural grazers. I will put the dish back in. How do I keep the temp up? I bought a heat pad and it's not making a difference at all. Should I continue taking him out once a day to...

hi everyone, my name is Jessica and I'm from Airdrie, Canada. Our family just bought a juvenile RF. We are unsure of gender but thinking he's a male. He's been in his new tank since Sunday evening. We've used coco husk as a substrate and have a warm end (85-90 degree) and a cooler end (70-80...
