    Bugs!!

    Bug eggs??

    Hello everyone, recently I have found tiny white-ish brown coloured balls in my tortoise’s Grassland and Mazuri mix. I’m not exactly sure if it’s part of the pellet or something else. I’m also really worried that it might be bug eggs.

    I have been told that my 1 and a half year old sulcata has begun to show a slight bit of pyramiding. How do I stop this? Here’s a picture of him/her: (His/her blocked nostril is just some food, it came out after a soak?)

    Good diets for Sulcatas

    I currently feed my 1 and a half year old sulcata around 5 mazuri pellets everyday along with a handful of greens (kale leaves). Is this a good diet? If not what would be a good diet for him/her?

    Dark coloured urine

    Hello everyone, tonight my sulcata tortoise was bubbling at the mouth and nose, and released some dark-coloured urine a few minutes later. He recovered from an Upper Respiratory Infection a few months ago. Is this something I should be worried about? I’m soaking him right now.

    Urgent! Sick baby sulcata

    I took my one year old tortoise to the vet and he was diagnosed with calcium deficiency and an upper respiratory infection. I have been giving him calcium soaks twice a day, however he barely eats anything at all. Is there any way I could force feed him?

    Baby sulcata sleeps all day and doesn’t eat much

    Hello! I have a 1 year old baby sulcata who now sleeps all day and barely eats anything. It’s also winter here but in the beginning of winter, he still ate a lot but now he barely comes out at all. I’m not sure whether I should take him to the vet or not. Any advice would be deeply appreciated...
