Looks like you're having the same issue that I have with my Henry. He just wants out!!!! Today we started be build him an outdoor enclosure. I think he will love it. Be concern I have though with yours is that it doesn't look like the top is covered? I've heard so many stories about birds...

Welcome to the forum! I'm new on here too but had my Henry for a year now. I definitely feel your pain. We've only just got it right 12 months in and still learning! I'm in Yorkshire :) One thing I would say is do not ask pet shops for advice. Although there are a handful of pet shops that...

This was Henry today exploring in the garden on a very rare sunny day in Yorkshire, UK. He is 18 months old now. He is a very cheeky little monkey!

How did you get on at the vets? How is he doing?

We get a lot of rain here so keen to treat it to prevent rotting. I will give it a lick and leave it to air out properly before filling it up

Because he enjoyed it so much we've decided to build him an enclosure for outside. It will only be used in nice weather during the day. I will fill it with soil so he can have a good dig around and plant some of his favorite weeds. This is how far we've come along with it. Is like to paint it...

Thanks for all your comments guys. He is really well otherwise so it might just be him! In in Yorkishire in England. We had a rare sunny day today so I left him have free reign of the garden (with me watching him very closely from about 1 foot away at most). He absolutely loved it. He was...

Thanks for your reply. I've copied and pasted it for her and told her which forum to come to. He really needs to be adopted by someone that knows how to and can afford to care for him. Poor thing.

That isn't a picture of him, she just said his eyes look like that.

So I've been onto a Tortoise protection Facebook page. There is a lady who was very concerned about her friends tortoise as it will not open its eyes, it's very thin, doesn't eat or drink and is kept in a vivarium. She has managed to persuade her friend to let her try and make him better so she...

Thank you for your comments guys. I will keep you informed of how he's doing.

We have just come back from a 2 week holiday. Henry went to stay with his grandma. We set his enclosure up exactly as it is at home a left strict instructions to follow his usual routine. His behaviors started like this during the first week of our holiday and has continued since we got back...

I bought him in June and I was told that he hatched on 5th January 2016 so he is probably about 16 months old now. He was so tiny so I do believe that he was that young. Don't really have problems with him eating substrate, only if some gets stuck to his food but 9 times out of 10 he spits it...
