I understand all that and it makes sense to me. But to that I would ask, how could you say the tortoise is “from” South America or Africa. These animals are captive born and raised. They never had the initial introduction to the microorganisms found in there natural environments. They were...
Hello. I have a redfoot and a Leopard tortoise. They’re both about 2 years of age and have never had any health concerns or any issues whatsoever. I have always housed them separately but i am looking to consolidate some space for a little bit until i can build a full enclosure for them...
Okay guys I’m back for the last time for a while (hopefully).
based on my last posts it’s obvious I’m a beginner in the tortoise world.
I have set removed my sulcata from the enclosure with the leopard tortoise and set him up in an enclosure given to me by a friend. No questions with that...
I am not at the enclosure right now. I’m currently building another one actually so i can house them separately. I had them together for 3 months with no sign of stress or issues at all. They will be separated tomorrow. I have them in a tortoise table. I was told they need to be close...
I’m not noticing any sign of sickness. I’m not exactly sure what bubbles would consist of but i have seen anything of concern so I’m assuming no bubbles. I’m feeding him dandelion greens always and I mix a new green in everytime i go to the store. Currently boc Choi. He’s just not acting like...
Hey guys. I know I’ve asked a lot of questions here lately. I’m just not sure what to do any this point. I’ve taken a lot of advice from you guys. I have my temps at 80 day and night throughout the enclosure and have made it a closed enclosure with much less ventilation to improve the...
I was just asking if it would cause an issue only being used temporarily. Should i remove it and have no heat at night besides in the hide box or should i leave it until the new ceramic arrives
Hello. My night heater for my torts went out and I’ve been using a 50 watt heat lamp at night to keep a higher temp on one side of the enclosure at night until the new ceramic gets here. Is this harmful for the tortoise to have a light on at night it’s not very bright and they seem to be...
Hatchling sulcata/leopard. Not sure who’s gonna go in it! I live in Missouri so it will be inside. They get lots of outdoor time on nice days. They’re little little right now so they don’t need a big enclosure for a little while
