I've been looking into getting some pill bugs and worms! If they are an important part of the enviroment, I dont mind having them around. I just didnt know what they were yet!

They are almost impossible to see. They are tiny tiny tiny and white. Does this sound like them? I definitely wouldn't mind adding another bug if it helps get rid of these pesty things. I feel like they are bothering him! (even if maybe he doesnt notice)

i cant seem to get mites to stay out of my freaking enclosure! I find myself cleaning out the enclosure and spraying it down and the whole shabang way more than necessary. Does anyone have any tricks of the trade with this? My substrate is made up of a bottom layer of coco coir and a thin top...

Leonard got to enjoy a raspberry tonight and ended up getting it all over his face. ADORABLE <3 ally&lenny

Thanks for the replies everyone! He seems to be doing fine, but I couldnt get him to the vet today because I couldnt find a reptile vet that was in the office, I called one vet who was supposed to call me back and help me over the phone but i never got a reply. He is still very active and eating...

His foot is the same this morning, and yes underneath the flap it is already healed it looks like, but I don't think he's in pain. He lets me touch it without receding in his shell. Yes, i'm feeding him other thing besides spinach, that was just what he was preferring to eat at the moment. I...

So the past couple days I noticed my torts skin peeling on his leg, I browsed around and found it was normal due to his age. After his soak tonight I had him on my bed and he was eating some spinach, it wasn't till he started walking away did I notice that the skin on his foot was falling off...

Thanks guys! I feel a lot better knowing you are right there with me worrying the same!

ahahahah i know right!? dogs are conniving ;) but i'd never let her near him alone. I love and trust her but those dogs and their instincts! she already thinks any stuffed animal i buy is hers. ahahah

Here is a picture of Lenny getting a warm soak and my dog lily being rather curious! (dont worry, i definitely dont leave them unsupervised EVER and my dog is very very mild manner so as long as i'm very close to both of them, i dont mind some friendly hellos) <3 Leonard, Ally and Lily...
