Charlie is one year old now and something has changed. First he now like to really climb, He is so large he can't turn back over when he flips, and I recently had to give him a larger hide and he won't go in it at all. Now I can't seem to get him to poop. I soak him twice a day , 30 minutes each...
I have 2 Cherry head red foot tortoises, Once a month I give them live mealworms. I used to have a mealworm farm for my Sugar gliders. Anyway, I learned that if the tortoises don't eat all the mealworms, the worms go down into the substrate and turn into the mealworm beetles. I was feeding my...
I use the one shown from Amazon about once every two months, to my two Cherry heads, they love the rub down. But what i love the most is the little TINY bugs don't bother there shells anymore. They have stopped invaliding them. I know the bugs are harmless, they just creep me out. Both my babies...
I use an Areo garden and grow my own dandelions, lettuce and other seeds my tortoise loves. I know there is no soil issues as it is all hydroponic. I love it and they get very fresh greens every day. I live in Connecticut. The investment was worth it.
I use a paper towel and gently rub it in on the top shell and then the bottom. then I take another paper towel and wipe off anything left. I then give then a goof soak
I use coconut oil om my Cherry heads, it works great and I noticed, my babies used to get little tiny bugs on there shells, Haven't seen any since I started the oil. I do it once a month, they actually like the polishing, they. seem to love the petting.
I have had them a long time, they used to be my husbands, they have never been used and he said he bought them for construction, but didn't use them. I love the fact they fit perfect in the green house.
They live in two separate large Black 4X6 foot tubs under a encased green house. I keep the heat and Humidity at 85. I have a regulator that keeps it set. They can't see each other at all. I soak them in separate tubs twice a day for 30-40 minutes. Other than the finicky eater, they are fine...
