    Dimensions for a full-grown male Russian tort enclosure??

    Hello! I have a 2 year old Russian tortoise. He currently lives in a zoo med enclosure but he has been full grown for a while now and it is too small. We were working on getting a custom enclosure made but that fell through so I’ve decided to make one myself. I was wondering the minimum...

    Questions (misting and swollen eye)

    I agree with you! The glass thing is not a myth they cannot see it and although they may not get seriously injured from walking into it it’s still not good for them! I have a similar enclosure and my tort loves it (he’s growing out of it so we are going to expand it some) but WOOD IS BEST it’s...

    Questions (misting and swollen eye)

    Before the zoo med drops I didn’t have drops to give him but with the zoo med ones I held the bottle above his eye so it didn’t touch it and let a drop roll down into his eye

    Questions (misting and swollen eye)

    I mist his substrate daily and I sometimes mist my tort if I haven’t soaked him as much as normal. Diet and soaking frequently should definitely keep him hydrated but as far as I know as long as the water and mister is clean and has no chemicals or anything in it it will do no harm! :)

    Dented Tortoise Shell

    Hello you should definitely research and probably get advise from more experienced tortoise owners then myself but I figured I would respond anyway. I’ve had a tort for a year and a half now I’m not sure what it could be but one thing could be calcium. Proper calcium and uv lights are one thing...

    Questions (misting and swollen eye)

    Hi! I’m a relatively new tortoise owner, about a year and a half, but my Russian tortoise had a swollen eye a while back and I was recommended zoo med turtle eye drops! They are completely safe and work wonders. I used one drop a day per eye and it was healed in a few days. Also with misting...

He has also not been pooping for a few days I’m starting to worry and have soaked him (he always poops plenty in the bath) but this time he isn’t at all. I’m not...

    Feeding!! Roses and cucumbers

    Yes in general I just give him a little bit as a treat once in a while and he loves it but not to much or to often:)

    Feeding!! Roses and cucumbers

    So I have been giving Koopa Cucumbers and I’m pretty sure that is alright but I just like to double check. I also saw somewhere that roses are ok for them to eat and I was curious about that so that’s all he is a Russian btw so let me know about these foods thanks!!
