I'll make sure to soak her more often than I regularly do then. (I usually soak her about once per week, but she always has fresh water available so I'm not sure how much she soaks while I'm away).
Yeaah four weeks might be a little short but I've read somewhere that...
Hello dear tortoise enthusiasts!
As the title says, I’m on my way to hibernate my dear Idamia for the first time this winter. I haven’t attempted this until now because I haven’t had the right equipment or knowledge (or guts) to try it until now.
So far, I’ve been lowering the amount of...
Thanks for the replies guys!

Hi tortoise forum!

Hello all tortoise lovers!
I've been using a 50/50 sand and soil mix for my Hermann's Tortoise for about ten years now and find that my room gets really dusty after a while.
