I didn't intend to hibernate her she is doing it on her own and I dont no how to stop her. She hasn't eaten for 3 days and has taken herself to the cool part of her tortoise table. Can she hibernate like that and if she is should I turn the heat pad and basking lamp off?

I have a 2yr old hermanns tortoise and for the last week or so she has not been eating properly and some days I find her buried in her substrate in the cooler part of her enclosure, could she be trying to hibernate?

I had a tortoise mobile home i made. It had everything needed for her but she got stressed out when I used to take her away so I dont do it any more

I have bought some prickly pear pad and am endeavouring to grow them and also a weed garden which isn't as easy as it sounds

Thanks guys, my grandson is at home to keep am eye on her for me. While I was away I went dandelion picking,my great grandsons thought it was really funny, but it is her favourite. I feel a lot better now and hope she gets back to her normal self because the last thing I want to do is anything...

Hi guys has anyone here tried this food with their tortoises? I am trying to give mine a varied diet, she has all different leaves dandelion, curly kale to name a few, tomato occasionally, komodo pellets. I did buy some of the pre alpin food and soaked it as suggested and excuse my language but...

Thanks guys. My lighting and heating are on a timer. I was just worried about leaving her for 2 days with only fresh food on friday. I normally feed first thing in the morning and give fresh at lunch time so she always has fresh food. Am I just being silly. I love this forum and the advice you...

I have had my Tiddles for about 3 months, it is eating fairly well but I am not sure if it is suffering from stress. I have a tortoise table setup at home but I go to either my son or my daughter at the weekend. I am recently widowed, 6 months ago, so that is why I visit my kids on the weekend...

On the food question my 16 month old Harmanns tortoise loves her Kimodo Tortoise Diet Pellets. I give her a small amount in the morning, soaked and soft. I give them plus assorted greens. When I got her on 18/10/19 she weighed 83gr she now weighs 146gr. I do weigh her every friday. I was just...

So sorry to hear of your sad loss. My little Hermanns is 16mths old and I have had her for about 2 months. Even after that short time I would be lost without her.

Ok, I have just bought a 2tkg bag of the topsoil and mix but I think it needs to join the dirt in my front garden cznt risk the health of my tortoise. I will order a bag of cypress mulch. The ks for your input.

Not sure about navigating this forum but hopefully someone will read this and tell me if I am doing it right. My Hermann tortoise is 16 mths old. I am about to clean her table and change the substrate. It has the top soil and sand mix on it at the moment and I was going to change it for the same...

I have 1 lot of food from Komodo, 1 from Habistat and 1 from Step into pets world. I have fed Tiddles the first 2 but not the last one. I give them to her after soaking and also give dandelion, curly kale, rocket, water cress not all together obviously. I weigh and measure her every week. There...
