Hello, I have a 4 year old tortoise named Morla and I'd like to make his enclosure a little more interesting. I was wondering if anyone had simple decor ideas and a list and safe plants I could add. He has stomped all over an aloe plant I had once and flips himself if he has tunnels, so I was...

Yeah for sure I'll try that, he doesn't even seem to notice so at least there's that :P

His nose whistlys from time to time and when I tried getting it out he kinda ran around in circles for a bit all upset at me lol but hes eating still, still active so idk

I doesn't have any nasal discharge and can still breathe through his nose fine. He dose breathe heavy every now and again but I've already had him checked out by a vet for that. Ill for sure keep a close eye on him though. Thanks, at least if it is something serious Ill know what to do

I'll give it a try, I'll adjust his heat tomorrow and spray him really well. Thanks for the suggestion :) hopefully its an easy fix :P

Morla seems to have a blocked nose, its like shed but covering almost one nostril completly. I soaked him hoping it would help but I'm not sure what to do now. Any ideas? Thanks

I have a tube light for uv I beleive it is a 12.0 if im remembering right it covers almost the entire length of his enclosure. And his hot spot bulb is off to the side and it stays around 90°-93°. And for the entire enclosure itself I have a heat pannle so it keeps everything around 80°-84° and...

Fair enough:P i figured it was probably something foolish like that haha. Just wanted to make sure it was sorta normal and not something I could prevent or fix:) thanks alot :)

He usually bites my blankets which are grey or my fingers or toes with or without nail polish and any cloths any colour im wearing haha black, white, grey anything.

He eats a mix of leafy lettuce, collard greens, curly kale, dandelion greens, occasional squash and berries. And when he's outside clover leaves and flowers, plantains. And I use a calcium supliment and super veggie :)

No no, he doesn't roam the house when I have him out I always supervise. It's when I have him out and I glance at my phone for example and he runs up and bites my leg or goes after my toes:p:D

He's a hermann:) I thought it might be that too, cause he also does that when I bring food. He goes a bit bonkers:D

So my tortoise has rencelty started biting everything. Blankets, cloths, bags, me! Anything he's near really. I was wondering of this is just curious behaviour and something I can train out?? If that's an option. Or if its because he's missing something in his diet or he's bored or something...

Its a little hard to get his full enclosure haha its 3'×4' I use cypress multch and cocohusk. Has 2 hides ine food bowl and a water bowl with a ramp :) he made a bit of a mess haha just finished munching I guess :P

I now have a bearded dragon and he eats alot of squash, I was wondering it my hermann can also have some. I cooked the squash to soften it but now I'm reading that raw is better. I have spaghetti and acorn squash. Dose it matter that I cooked it? How often can he have it? Thanks :)
