Hello I recently noticed this small drooping piece of bottom cheek/neck, please see foto. Is this a sign of him being over fed and he has gained weight on his face?? Or does it indicate he is sick like a cold or could it be any other illness? I do plan on calling to make him a vet appointment...
Helllo, I heard Tortellini making clicking noises while he was sleeping at night. I stayed for a minute and they were constant every few seconds. I am not sure if it is normal sleeping sound like a snore? It seems in other threads tortoises make the noise while eating but I haven’t heard him...
Yes he has had it before and did not have any issues that I noted. I found it strange that he made noises, did not want to continue eating it, and that he walked a little funny afterwards like uncomfortable :/
Hello,
Today I am concerned with tort I took him out of his enclosure and offered him a succulent he took one bite and then did not want to eat the rest even though I kept hand offering it. He began to make these snapping/cracking mouth sound. He kept walking and started to walk with a slight...
Question. Why does the water level have to be at this point? Is it bad for it to be higher than that, and if you can explain for what reason please? I have been doing deeper baths so I am now concerned how it can be bad for my tort. Thank you!
Awesome! Yea I already bought these so I am just trying to use them now. I didn’t even know there was horse pellet options I could use so definitely will keep that in mind when torti is bigger as well. Is there a particular seller or brand you recommend for the horse pellets?
Hi everyone, I know we say that babies do not eat hay since it is too large and tough to bite into. My tortellini is now 1yr old and I had bought 3 bags of 5lbs each of various hays when I got torti last year and saved them. Now that I have fed him the baby kapidolo farms dry toppers. I came up...
Hello, I just realized these shows were happening I am attending the Pomona reptile show on Aug 13th. If you are attending please let me know and feel free to recommend booths or any certain plant/food products. I would like to also meet and ask questions to TF members! Thank you in advance...
Yes sadly I think that is what happened and he relaxed a little and that’s when I was able to get him out. The vet said all looked good with him and it’s been a few days now and everything has been normal Tortellini behavior, eating lots and good poops.
Yes I definitely understand the dangers especially when that never crossed my mind as a potential hazard. I always watch over him thinking that would be safe but this was still not the case. I let him out to walk around for excercise.
How do you recommend I get excercise time into his...
