    Soaks for new torts

    Daily soaks have been great for my little guy. It's almost like he's potty trained. Everyday he pees and poops during his soak, rarely ever in his enclosure.

    OVERWHELMED!!

    If she is still small a kiddie pool might work nice?

    is the internet wrong about russian tortoises?

    I do have very cold winters. My indoor enclosure is more of the permanent home with playtime outside during the summer.

    Does your Russian tortoise eat commercial tortoise food?

    My guy hated ZooMed so much he decided to burrow underneath his food, get it on top of his shell and flip it all over the enclosure.

    is the internet wrong about russian tortoises?

    Would keeping your Tortoise outside for long periods of time make it harder for them to get used to their indoor enclosure?

    What do I Keep and what do I throw away

    I cleaned and disinfected all my stuff but still was very nervous. So I just made a new enclosure with all new stuff. I did keep all of the old things. So maybe they can be used for a new little guy???

    what’s the best way to deal with tortoise death?

    Sorry for your loss. My first Tortoise died very suddenly. With no signs of anything. I got him ready for his soak and that was it. R.I.P. After getting over the shock, I made him a nice grave on the side of my house and still go back and lay dandelions on it when they are in season.

    Kale, A good food choice or not

    Is Romaine a good choice? How about about spring mix? Do the weeds and grass grow in coconut coir or do you add top soil to the enclosure?
