Thank you so much! Here’s to hoping for an early spring! Lol

Wow! So helpful thank you so much! Tyrone’s vet has been doing the nasal flushes too. In fact we tried to do that on its own before the antibiotic shots hoping it would clear up, but no such luck. He has had two shots of the antibiotic. It’s been 2 weeks and he sounds MUCH better, and no runny...

Yes his enclosure is outside. I think I can just plant the seeds directly in there but he may eat the young grass shoots before they fully grow haha. Well at least I saved half the package in case the seeds did not grow the first time around. Thank you for your suggestions. Everyone on here is...

I’m dead so cute!!

I have an 8 year old California Desert Tortoise. He is currently undergoing antibiotic treatment for Runny Nose Syndrome. By the time his treatment is done it will then be time for him to begin hibernating but it's not good to let him hibernate with the antibiotic so recently in his system as it...
