Mr Randy stopped eating about 4 weeks ago, i have periodically soaked him and finally this week he has decided that being tucked up under his dirt and leaves (indoors) that it was time for a rest, night night see you in the spring x

So Cute

Hiya welcome to the site, it has been a brilliant font of knowledge for us all :-) I noticed that you are using 'cat litter' I have to admit this was something I used at first because I was told it was a good thing to use. Unfortunately it was wrong advice :-( I now use in my indoor house...

I tell everyone i am cultivating weeds :0)

Your enclosure looks so lovely, I am sure when the time is right you will give a fantastic home to a new little tort x

I am so sad to read your news :-(

looks like a little horsfield boy to me. He is very lucky to have found you, good luck and enjoy him. I have turned in to a total tortoise addict since my little boy joined my family :-)

I have thought about this lol but I would be definitely be watching all the time .... i think I am a bit of a tortoise addict as it is :0)

Thank you, it has been a two year work in progress so far

I work full time and I never seem to see 'Randy' Andy out of his house or eat at all without pulling him out of his bed before I go to work...... so on Sunday on a rare day of not running around like a mad woman, I spent some time in the garden and thought I would wait and see :-). To entice...

He is such a lucky little tortoise :-)

Hi Amar What a lucky little tortoise to have been adopted by you, I do think 'she' may be a 'he' though :-)

Thank you Rosemary, I will try it is very tempting to keep checking and fussing over him but I know he needs to act naturally and get on with it, so if I can I am going to leave him now and see how he goes on

What a lucky little tortoise

Thank you for getting back to me, at night time it goes down to about 48 - 50 and there has been no frost since mid May at night. I pull him out of the box in the morning before i go to work (say 8.30 am) he is usually cool but would stay inside the box all day otherwise. I will try over the...

Hi I thought I would have had some suggestions about outdoor heating by now We have had a lucky weather break and I have left my little boy outside day and night and he seems to enjoy it at the moment. Although I do have to pull him outside from his box every morning when the sun starts to...

I am having the same problem with my little boy, he is ok once he has warmed up, he will have a good feed of all foraged foods and then goes back to bed! Due to our tiny little heatwave (all of 2 days so far) I have put him in his outside run to get some natural vitamin d and when i come home...

Hi, I am quite new to this forum, I have never posted on a personal level but have commented on a few conversations. I would like to introduce my little horsfield 'Randy Andy' sorry for the nick name but he has earned it. He is one of 3 little ones I rescued from someone I know, who thought...

Wow your enclosure is coming on a treat :-) I have added a outdoor house to mine as of this weekend ... just got to figure out whether to add a heat source to it or not ... UK summers are not the greatest and i do want him to live outside until mid September without having to bring him in every...

Hiya, your little toroise looks very secure in his run, does he have somewhere to get out of the sun/rain? As a suggestion, he could also do with some barriers to climb over or hide behind maybe to give him some stimulation. Mine is still a work in progress (as they always are :0) ) I attached...
