    Turtle or tortoise? What is this?

    Awesome! Is the turtle safe in a garden? There is no pond and it was 97 degrees outside today.

    Give your torts as much space as possible!

    That's clever! Sheldon would SO try to climb out of the bridge though. He loves heights and he never gives up once he decides to climb.

    Yep, two of 'em glued together. I'm so bad at building things that I actually panicked the full 24 hours that wood glue was setting. I was shocked and relieved when it held together perfectly.

    I could probably manage doing that on one of the covers. He actually likes to sleep in the dark room on the right, though. He's always enjoyed dark places, maybe he's a bit moody!

    I guess it seems obvious, but until now I had my tortoise in 6 sq feet because that's all I had room for. He spent most of the day sleeping. Now, I'm no carpenter (in fact I can't even hammer a nail straight), so I bought a couple of those pre-made houses and doubled the space my Sheldon has to...

    [free] once-opened bag of mazuri

    Mazuri changed the formula to smaller pellets. Sheldon won't eat them any more! It used to be his favorite food. I will mail this bag to anyone that wants it. Otherwise it's going in the trash.

    At what age do Russians stop growing?

    I got my Russian tortoise back in 2011 and I measured his shell, and it was 4 inches long. When I got him, he was very sick. He had worms, and the vet I took him to overdosed him with antiprotozoans and nearly killed all his gut microbes. So I had to feed him probiotics for months. After 2...

    Sphagnum Moss - safe to use?

    Well, I watched him for a couple days and he didn't try to eat it, but he's a strange tortoise because he only eats things I put on his plate. I thought he might be scared to find his room completely filled with this stuff, but this morning I found him there digging it up :)

    Sphagnum Moss - safe to use?

    I got this by mistake from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019J2MA2/?tag=exoticpetnetw-20 I got refunded and they told me to keep the moss as well! Which is cool, if I can use it. Will my tortoise be safe?
