Hi everyone, not been on for a while due to being ill and Easter holidays. My tort is growing well. She's adapted a rather teenage like attitude to life but that's fine as I didn't get her as a pet to be handled. I prefer to watch and only handle when I need to weigh her or bath her or to take...

Just checked there is a totoise table app on iTunes and its free

There maybe one on there but I don't have an iPhone so not sure what the equivalent is to Google play store on iPhone.

My tort is in a better mood today. After all I said she's back to what she was like when I first got her. She's actually wanted attention Today following me up and down her enclosure. She's been climbing and I've rearranged her enclosure and made some tunnels for her and she's shown real...

There is a Tortoise table app on android. You can use it for free to find out and check if a plant or flower or cacti is safe. If you are interested.

Wow those links are amazing. I am doing everything I'm meant to. But I think I might need to be more hands off. She/he does respond when I'm near tank talking and usually will wonder over. She has water dish with stone to get out, she has a hide I use top soil, I moisten tank. Goes outside when...

Hi I need some advise. I have a Russian tortoise who is 7 months old and is female. When I first got her she was very active and quite socialable. This week she's been very moody and not very active apart from easting then she sleeps alot. When she was ceryy active she would do things like -...

Wow really using athletes foot cream works on a tortoise shell? Would never of even thought of that at all. But good to know.

Oh that's a shame you have had to do that. I'm sure your tortoise is happy enough. Though I was thinking... You can buy these bridges that your able to bend into shape. If you get one big enough to straddle the log then it might be OK. I have added pic of the log I bought from pet shop. It's...

Hi Wow that doesn't look good at all. I would take to see reptile vet get advice. There maybe something they can do to help. I. So sorry that this poor tortoise has not been looked after. Thank God you've got it. I don't know if this can be reversed but it can't get worse. Sorry if I've not...

Hi How's is everything with you? Have you managed to stop your tort from flipping over? Well houdini seems to have made her own routine now. She does as she pleases when she pleases. And all of a sudden she has stopped climbing her log. She now eats, sleeps eats, sleeps dig, sleep, bask, paddle...

Oh no that must have been very scary for you. I would have panicked if it was me. The log I have is curved and smooth. I have got a plank of wood leaning on it so houdini has a way up or down. I would make sure there is things about that will help your right it's self if it does it get into...

Hi Thank you for your advice, sadly the pellets were put in before I realised and was told otherwise. I shall be changing it when it's time for a clean out. Houdini seems happier on the soil if honest it's more natural and loves to dig. Pet shops clearly have no clue apart from making money from...

I respect all opinions and can see all points made. Thanks for the welcome everyone has been very helpful and friendly.

Ooh what apps that as I would be very interested so I don't pick wrong thing x

That sounds good. Normally houdini is up about 7 am and goes bed at 5.30pm. This is by self choice. I feed houdini on mixed lettuce from shop. It consists of chard, spinach, kale ( houdini's fave) and something else I can't recall. This is OK to give but I also feed dandelions, clover. Still...

Oh wow! Yes I can't wait to get mine out doors either. Mine has currently decided she's had enough today and has now gone to bed under log. I'm leaving lights on as she may reappear as it's to early for her to be I bed it's normally 5.30pm. Your run sounds awesome but make sure it's got lid so...

Yes I found it very helpful and I've learnt alot from there

That's awesome. Yes your right you don't need it to cramped but a log is great. And when it's summer if your able to get a rabbit run for out doors then you can take tort outside for natural uv rays but still make sure one end is shaded. If your able to go outside in a vert top or t-shirt then...
