Hi guys! I’ve come back to ask for some help. I’ve been trying to get him to see a specialist but all the vets in my area aren’t accepting nee clients due to Covid. I’ve also recently noticed that he can move his back two legs; just not when he walks. Whenever he sleeps I sometimes find...

Ok great thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much for this. I’ll look into getting all of these available for him soon. I also responded in an earlier comment with what type of uvb that was- Full Soectrum + UVB’ with a UVB output of 2.4%. The basking element, I believe, is a 50 watt infrared heating lamp with a tungsten...

Sadly no I don’t. It’s a shared terrace and many people let their cats wander around it and it’s covered in stones and has wooden planks. I do however have a smaller enclosure but he doesn’t move around it much. Sometime however we do put him on our sun lounger with some food and water and let...

Thank you so much for this. We live in a pretty small house so we don’t have a lot of room. I’ve seen a a few people convert dressers into tortoise habitats. Do you think I could do that here? And make sure he has enough surface area to equal a habitat that’s 244x122 minimum (so at least 29,768cm²).

I believe the lamp is ‘Full Soectrum + UVB’ with a UVB output of 2.4%. I hope that’s not too high or too low.

I'll also update the thread as soon as we return from the vet! Not sure when I'll be able to go but hopefully within the next week or two!

He has a UVB lamp in his enclosure and also a heat lamp in there too which are on all day and I only turn off only at night. I live in the UK so it's not sunny too often but when it is I like to put him outside in a smaller enclosure with some of his stuff so he can relax in the sunlight a...

Oh my god thank you so much. It feels kinda calming to know I’m not alone in this whole experience. I’ll definitely look into the substrate and the calcium so thank you. Also he does have a water bowl but I think it’s just hidden in the picture. Thank you for all the information :)

Thank you so much!! I’ll definitely look into finding a vet for him to help.

Hello. I have come on here for help with my 5 year old Russuan Tortoise. His shell measures 12.5cm x 12.5cm This is a picture of him when we first got him: He now however sadly has a slanted and pyramiding shell which prohibits his back to legs from working properly- he drags himself...
