    Question reading posts that say olive oil or coconut oil is safe to treat shells. Now although I would do this I want to make sure my Russian tort isn't going to be harmed by doing so. However, the reason I'm reading these posts is his shell is looking bleek. Dull and bumpy. So first is it...

    Am I Murdering my Tortoise

    I feel bad so many people being sarcastic. Getting your tort out of a petstore was heroic! They end up sick and suffering. I have spent over $700 getting my Russian well. Your doing right by him, good for you and him. We unfortunately learn as we go. All I can say is read everything you can...
