Hello everyone! I’m on the lookout for a new tortoise table for my little guy, Nebula. I just wanted to know what type of wood is 100% safe for tortoises, as I know the fumes of some wood types can kill a tort. :/ (I know that plywood is safe) and knowing what to steer clear from would be...

Hello everyone. I’ve been really wanting to add more variety to my Russians diets.. some of you have added great lists for me to try! I’ve checked out the Plant ID section of this site and the posts simply say either edible or toxic, but my question is, edible or toxic to what type of...

Hello everyone.. I’m very frustrated about my Russian lately. She has been escaping her (indoor) enclosure and, despite me blocking the pathways, she pushes her way through and then roams around my room.. Long story short, everyone agrees on the idea of glueing walls around the area she is...

I came home today and took out my girl to see how she was doing. I found a piece of scale on her nose that has lifted up?? It freaked me out, that’s never happened before. No blood and she doesn’t seem to be in pain or flinching when it’s touched. (I’m not planning on ripping it off, I know that...

Hey guys.. so I’m a little bit pissed off. The other day I picked up a box of spring mix for my Russians and opened it today to find literally ALL BABY ARUGULA. I know there supposed to be a varied diet and I’ll work on getting them something else, but I just wanted to make sure a few meals of...

A family member was bicycling and found this dumped Russian tortoise on the side of the road. No one else in my family knows how to take care of them except me (I’ve owned my one Russian for nearly 2 years now) so I decided to take the little one into my own hands. Right now I am preparing for...

I was just wondering if my Russian Tortoise could eat Jade and Aloe Vera plants :) Are there any succulents that ARE poisonous to the RT? [emoji848]

I’m gonna make this short and sweet because I’m kind of freaking out.. My Russian tortoise eats Spring Mix and has been eating it. Spring Mix has Romaine lettuces in it.. This might sound stupid, but with this whole E. Coli outbreak, will eating the Romaine effect her?? I THINK we bought this...

Hello everyone ! I’m new to this app but have gotten most of my information and research on tortoises from here, so I trust the community. I have a problem with my female Russian tortoise and would love to get some help or opinions. I have had her for over a year, and just recently she has...
