I'm one of those sort of people who are constantly worrying something is wrong even if Im not really doing anything wrong.. In a way, its a good thing, because it means I'll look into it.
Here's how I care for her.
Diet: Mazuri, (safe) weeds, endive (for when I run out of weeds)
- She is...
Rhank you! Didn't know that the care sheets are generally terrible, I do have a humidifier that I turn on for a few hours to make sure that the humidity is at least 70% (I have a gauge) and I spray the inside of her hide with water just a tad bit. And she does get soaks everyday in the morning...
According to A website "Progeny of lawfully held desert tortoises may, for 24 months from date of hatching, be held in captivity in excess of the stated limit. Before or upon reaching 24 months of age, such progeny must be disposed of by gift to another person or as directed by the Department...
I believe people can own one but you need a permit. And that is really expensive.. I dont want to get in trouble but I live in a low income family that can barely afford food, so I need to wait a bit.
I actually found her outside a few months ago and thought I should take her in since I'm pretty sure it's not natural for her to be out in a neighborhood where there's no place for her to actually live (live a desert space). Later found out she belongs to a neighbor who lost two (other one was...
My delivery of cypress mulch came yesterday, which was great because it meant I could set up her new enclosure (it is much bigger now). Didn't think she (my tortoise) would care too much, but she actually burrowed underneath the substrate some time ago. It scared me because I couldn't see her...
Thank you and to the others who replied also. I'm not sure if it would make a difference but I now think "stringy" is the best word I can use to describe it. I understand from my experience from pulling hair out of her mouth that it could be wrapped up in something inside her (you shouldn't do...
I do provide water, I bathe her everyday so that she can get some water since she doesn't seem too fond of the water that I have out for her. Forgot to mention but the reason why it was hanging from her but is because she ate a hair sort of thing, not hair itself, thicker but in the same sort of...
So I picked up my tortoise (she's like 5 months old so she's still small enough) in order to bathe her and I noticed that some poop was hanging from her butt. I thought it was just sticking to her so I tried pulling it off, but it turned out that it was inside her. I tried my best to pull as...
So I'm thinking about getting the Mazuri Tortoise Diet bag since people seem to recommend it, but I look at the ingredients and the second one is ground corn. Somebody told me that ground corn is bad when I asked about another product. The tortoise table also says corn is bad.
So, forever ago I made a post about the identification of a succulent, I didn't get any replies but thankfully I found out myself.
It's apparently called a 'sedum nussbaumerianum' or coppertone sedum, although I can't find anything about whether or not they can be fed to tortoises.
Anyone...
So my parents had this one plant for quite some time.. I'm having a really hard time identifying it. I want to know if I can feed it to my tortoise. And sorry if tortoise forums aren't really the place to post a question like this, I saw someone else did so I hope it's ok.
And you so much! I'll remember to avoid that brand. I didn't even look at the ingredients.. pretty sure corn is on the no-no list. And thank you for the links, I'll give them a read^^
And yeah, I did post it on a Amino.. but I saw that the Amino wasn't very active and thought I wouldn't get an...
So I have a desert tortoise, who is at least less than two months old (got it from a neighbor..). My grandpa got me these dietary supplements for her, although I noticed that it says juvenile and small adult tortoises. Would it still be ok to give her it (according to directions)? Sorry if...
