I understand.

Hello, I just got informed that he actually is walking around and eating now. I use a mercury uva+uvb, orchid bark and a big 50 gallon tub. He has a hiding area, planter saucer dish for water that he also lays in, etc. If it happens again, i will reach back out and show detailed pictures...

I kind of ran into an issue with my russian tortoise last night. I transported him from my parents house to my boyfriends house in Ellenton, FL. He was doing fine, but after i got him settled in his enclosure tub, i picked him up a couple times and since then he hasnt wanted to come out of his...

How is fang doing?

Alright as of now I'm gunna advise my friend not to use it just to play it safe. Thank you guys for responding :)

I have a friend who also has a tortoise that has been having eye problems so his vet recommended the ointment so he ordered it online cheaper than the vet but he said when he opened it that it had a faint gasoline type smell. I've never needed it so I couldn't tell him if it was safe to use or...

When I give my Russian his soaks I put 1-2 drops of reptisafe into the water and swish it around and wait a little bit before I put him in just incase since I use water from the faucet.

He's great! Thank you for checking in on him! He's still having his appetite, little guy sure loves his spring mix and grassland tort food. Also been giving him soaks everyday rather than a few times a week, to keep him hydrated. He's been going to the bathroom as usual but I'm not sure about...

Yeah it was only one bite of a white trash bag that I have underneath his wooden enclosure that I have set up on the floor and I set him on the floor after his bath to grab the towel next to me to dry him off and he went to bite the trash bag so I'm sure he got a bite of it. I have been checking...

Okay thank you guys so much!

Did your tortoise do okay after this happened to you?

Thank you so much. It means a lot. It's the first time anything like this has happened because I've always been so careful to keep an eye on him whenever I'm holding him, etc. He seems to be doing okay, he even wanted to eat more from his food bowl of the left over scraps. I'm just going to...

I was giving Arnold a warm water soak and took him out for only a second so I could grab a towel next to me to dry him and I have two white plastic trash bags under his table top enclosure incase any of his coir or cypress mulch got out and when I placed him on my floor so I could dry him off he...

Thanks everyone for your replies! I am gunna try to order cactus pads and use my nature care potting mix that I use for Arnold's other growing food.
