Just wanted to post some photo updates of my baby Burmese Star I got from @Markw84 He/She is doing great, eats all the time, and is very active all day!
I just wanted to give a huge shoutout to @Markw84 on his craftsmanship, dedication, and attention to detail with his Smart Enclosures and the way he cares for all of his tortoises. I had the pleasure of meeting up with him a couple weeks ago to pick up my Smart Enclosure and just received my...
It is a shame that false or unreliable information is allowed to be posted online and made available to others, but unfortunately that’s just how the internet will always be. I know that if I had never found out about this forum, I would have kept him in an open topped table with low humidity...
Age: Unknown but presumably very young(1.5” shell length from base of tail to base of head)
Weight: 15.95g a couple days after I got him. Now he fluctuates between 14.5-15.5g depending on when I weigh him.
I have had him for a little over a month
I purchased him from Tortoise Town(before I...
Hi Chris,
Thank you for the response. I have read your care sheet in its entirety, and it has helped me quite a bit when it came to setting up his enclosure. I have gotten mixed feedback from a variety of sources regarding night time temperature and the presence on high humidity with colder...
I think every day would be amazing to live his easy life and not have to worry about anything haha I do have a CHE for him, but I haven’t been using it recently since I have been able to keep the ambient temperatures in his closed chamber at 75-79 every night without it. My room is always hotter...
When I got him, he was 15.95g. Now he fluctuates between 14.5-15.5g depending on when I weigh him. I haven’t poked through any poops, but he usually goes during his soak, and I do look at it to make sure everything is ok and I haven’t seen any visible worms in it at all. From what I can see, he...
Hi everyone,
I have posted a couple times in the past about my hatchling not eating much food, but over the past couple of weeks, he has started to eat much more every single day since I moved him into a makeshift closed chamber. He will be in the makeshift closed chamber until I can pick up my...
I wouldn't be surprised if TT had clamp lamps lining the rim of their open top dry bins with CFL's in every one all pointed down at the babies. I wish there was something I could do to get them shut down for good.
Thats what I thought, so I never combined the two of them together. I am just keeping my fingers crossed that he can start eating more and grow up to be a big and strong Greek!
I will be sure to give this a shot for him. The Zoo Med flower topper has 5-6 different kinds of vibrant colored flowers in it, and I feel like he enjoys the colors of those also.
I know, it is unfortunate that businesses like that are allowed to sell tortoises online or even raise them in the first place. I didn't find out about this forum until after I had received him, or else I would have gone through Tortoise Supply or Garden State Tortoises for my Greek Hatchling...
Alright, thank you for all of your help, Yvonne! I will give that a try and keep my fingers crossed that he will eat more for me! I have also been trying out different soaks for him. I have tried putting Gerber carrot baby food in the soak water and I have also tried putting liquid bird vitamins...
It's hard for me to identify exactly which foods he likes because I chop up the pieces so small and mix them all together for him. Do you think it would be beneficial to mush up all of his food in the food processor for him so when he takes a bite and actually bites into the food, I know that he...
