Vinny is in the hospital. He is severely dehydrated (he was soaked 15-20 min/day) and they thought his breathing was heavy. I posted earlier about the black mold under his house. It was suggested to get rid of it, but I did a cleaning and disinfecting. No mold visible but I think it was in the...

Thank you. By waiting near his bowl this morning, I was relieved thinking he was ready to eat. However, he ate very little. I did not watch him eat thinking he may eat more without me there. His bowl looked full to me. I only gave him softened tortoise food - no greens. He likes it, but usually...

By regular bulb, do you mean the 65W flood light in the cage? Thank you, Jill

Ty is the dog with the fur balls!

Thank you. The exotics vet at our regular vet practice did not look into his mouth. As I had said before, after his soak and the ride to the vet in a box with a facecloth, he had perked up. The vet saw him a few weeks ago, and said he looked great. We do have a hairy dog (Ty), and I have...

Thank you. I am not sure of his age. At vet, he weighed 500g and she said 6 years old? Saw the vet because of his eyes. I had just given him a soak, so he was great at the vet. He was given to me by a family that did not want him any more. He has a wooden Zoo Med Tortoise House 3’ x 2’. The...

Thank you. I will start a new thread. He has water. He soaks every day. I am so confused about lights. It was too cold so I added a flood light 65W. Heat went up. He has that light, a ceramic heating light, a light for UV? and another heat light. Too much. What do I take away? In the picture...

I am totally confused. Vinny, a Med Hermanns, is not doing well. Rubbing eyes, not eating. I am frying him I think. I know I need a new enclosure. I know you will ask for a pic.

Thank you Tom.

Waltham is in Massachusetts. Does anyone have pictures of a good inside habitat?

I have a Hermanns, and he is not himself. I was given the tortoise by someone who did not want him any longer. He came in a ZooMed Tortoise House. Given the humidity needs etc it did not seem like the correct habitat. His house is on the floor in the kitchen which is above the garage so it can...
