Ok! I will get some coco coir and use that instead!

I caught one of my tortoise eating on the plastic mat substrate as I got home today. He/She has never done this before, and although I pulled a chunk out of his/her mouth, it appeared that a small part of the mat has already been eaten: The tortoise is well fed and so far has not shown any...

Pineapple bun & walking pineapple bun?

These two cute fellas are both about 1.5 years old and are doing great, but about a week ago I started noticing some really small pyramiding: They are in a sun bathing box by the way their enclosure is much bigger than that. They get a soak for 20 mins everyday and I sprinkle water on their...

Grumpy kid?

I had a pretty hard time persuading my little guys eating plantain, since it's fiberous and they are both like 6 months old which can't bite them off easily. I don't know whether your 4 year old one will have this issue but my tip for persuading them is cutting plantain with whatever they likes...

Thanks, but it’s not easy to get that here(radicchio included),I will see if I can stumble upon one in the future. For now, my two hermanns eat Pak Choi, a kind of smaller version Pak Choi, Asian hawks beard and plantains.

Thanks!

Okay. How should I determine when to turn it on?

Ok. I already bought a basking lamp, when it’s too cold(it’s still like 31degrees at night now), I will add it. I am on a search for their big new home now, but I will have to persuade my parents for taking up the space,ha! Also, should I be worried about the dent on the back of one of them...

Poor ladybug found itself confronted by a tortoise:p

Well......That is the about the size of the biggest enclosure sold in the store. I was thinking about using a part of the balcony as their enclosure, which is surely big enough and has plenty sunlight, but can young tortoises be outside?

No......it seems like I have a lot of problems! This is their current enclosure, which is about as big as their home at the pet store(which housed 15+ hatchlings), and is about 21x13 inches: According to your care sheet, it is too small, the substrate needs a change, and they need to be...

So I should just stick with the other foods and the pellets?

It's been a long story, but basically, since I got these two cute critters, they have been eating Pak-Choi. In fact, they were eating Pak-Choi when I first saw them in the store. I have tried feeding them with a variety of other plants, but they rejected them all. My attempts include: Plantains...

I’ve checked them out. They are so detailed and awesome!

Hi, everyone! I am new to tortoise keeping, but I have been keeping geckos and skinks for a couple years prior to this, so not that of a noob:D I currently own two Eastern Hermann hatchlings, both about 5cms in length. Would like to learn more about these fascinating animals and receive advices...
