    Ooo coconut oil - great idea. I have toddlers and coconut oil was the solution for everything when they were infants.

    Shell Rot?

    Yes I’ll order some misters for a timer! We do soaks and have accessible water, but definitely not enough. Thanks!

    Shell Rot?

    We live in Arizona so no bulbs during the summer (still summer here, low about 70, high about 100). But that would make sense that he got too dry. We’ve had a dry monsoon season.

    Hole Digging

    I have had my Sulcata tortoise for 1 1/2 months now. She is about 2 years old. Previously, she lived at my in laws, but they had only a very small space for her (aprox 5ftx2ft). She now is able to roam the backyard freely at my house, which she does on a daily basis. At my in laws, she had a...

    Girl or Boy Russian Tortoise

    H Hahahah! I actually asked for it!! They already have one and didn’t really have a good spot for this one, since they can’t house them together.

    Girl or Boy Russian Tortoise

    okay thanks! The sulcata is 2 years old, just got it from my in-laws. Definitely not a fan of being held, unlike my Russian who will completely come out of the shell when held. The sulcata actually peed as I was taking the photo

    Girl or Boy Russian Tortoise

    yeah we just got the sulcata from my in laws, it’s 2 years old. The Russian actually loves to be held and will be more out of his shell when being held. The sulcata is definitely not used to being held and actually peed as I was taking the photo!

    Tortoise Got Stuck and Ripped Claws Out

    He has the ability to dig into the dirt, but he doesn’t... maybe it’s cause the ground is too packed and hard? Also, had been using the pool to provide more shade.

    Tortoise Got Stuck and Ripped Claws Out

    Good to know about the pool. The wire cover is mostly so my small dog doesn’t jump in! It also blocks where he can climb out. He can dig into the dirt, it’s just kind of hard and firm so he doesn’t.. I will try to expand his enclosure

    Tortoise Got Stuck and Ripped Claws Out

    He can a little. I have hay, dirt, and reptile bedding that is mixed up and piled in a corner. He often burrows in that. Yes I didn’t even see the active bleeding, just the dried blood

    Tortoise Got Stuck and Ripped Claws Out

    he has some cement stones on the ground and then the walls are made from cement. He got stuck climbing on the wall cus one of the bricks started to fall and trapped him (in an up and down position). So he had been using his claws against the cement bricks to try and escape, but instead it rubbed...

    Tortoise Got Stuck and Ripped Claws Out

    Hello, my tortoise lives in an outside enclosure. Sometime within the past 24 hours, he got stuck while climbing. When I went to feed him this evening, he had been trying to get unstuck for at least long enough to either rip his claws out/file them down flat. Most of his claws are no longer...
