Hello tortoise forum! Long time no see. Recently I was giving my Tort a soak, but then she started opening her mouth and heavily breathing. Then she proceeding to yawn and make a sound similar to steam being released, I don’t know how to describe this. Is this something I should worry about?
Thank you, yvonne warned me that cutting a hole in the greenhouse would cause a chimney effect, which wouldnt be great. Heres the link to the greenhouse Greenhouse link
I recently got a mini greenhouse for my tortoise to have proper temps, and humidity. However something dawned on me as i got the greenhouse. How am i going to make sure all the electrical things can run due to the greenhouse obscuring the outlet? I really wanna get this greenhouse set up, so any...
another update incoming.
the greenhouse has come in the mail, but i realized something when it came in. How am i going to make sure all her lights and the CHE and more, will be plugged in with the greenhouse obscuring the outlet?
Everything has been well otherwise. She's been...
Thank you so much! I will get that greenhouse soon, so the heat nor the humidity escapes.
However, the dry skin does not seem to be bothering her at all, she still acts the same.
Another update, here goes.
snappy has been doing fine, and has been much more active and less lethargic. However she has been still, sometimes not eating all the food in the bowl, but sometimes gorges the whole thing down on her own, but always eats everything when i handfeed her.
Snappy has...
The thing is, the amount i have been feeding her, which is usually around this size. Is roughly her own size or a bit less. But for the most part shes eating a meal nearly her size.
Update here!
Snappy has been doing well, shes back to pooping and soaking nearly day. However she still doesn't eat everything on her plate despite it being quite awhile since i gave her egg, should i be concerned? Also, shes still a tad bit sleepy, but shes been getting better and more curious...
Update here
Snappy has been getting better, and has started approaching me whenever she sees me again. But i may have hardboiled an egg wrong(im not the best cook), and i wanted to see if she could eat it or not. Heres a pic, the egg is a tad bit runny, and so is the yolk.
I know this update came a bit soon, but i don't think shes constipated anymore because shes recently just passed stool, and a fair bit of it. Shes being soaked right now, and im glad the constipation if still there, has lessened.
alright, i returned the CHE to where she used to bask, should I worry abt her not passing stool nearly as frequent? she's been going days without passing it.
Also, i will replicate the husbandry to the best i can do. Also, Im pretty sure the winter cold isn't stealing the heat as the heat has...
