Hi guys!! This is what I have so far, and it is definitely a work-in-progress. I’m very open to suggestions!! Thank you!!

I looked at the underside of my 7 mo a marginated tort and was curious why there’s are indentations along the tummy. Could someone please give some advice of why this might happen? Thank you!!

Thank you so much for your response!! I really like that website now :)

Hey everyone, my tortoise is getting a little bored with the mix of foods we are giving them so I’ve decided to plant some edible plants for Oakley (7 mo) to graze on in the enclosure. I will plant them on the cool side -along with the buckle weed and succulents I already have planted- and am...

Okay! I got three bags of the fine kind and I will only use real soil if my plants need it.

I would like to add that the heat pad is not a main source of heat and it barely does anything. I have it there and it doesn’t heat that much so I will take it away once I get all the other things set up. I read the care sheet for marginated’s and I think I’ll put the orchid bark on top of a top...

Thank you all very much!! I trust this info way more than Reddit and I am just trying to gather as much info as possible on all platforms. That pyramiding BS did make me laugh though.... anyways, I’m on my way to get some orchid bark and I am planning to order a lot of new supplies as well. I...

I read the entire thread and I’m going to use this week to change the enclosure and order better substrate and dried foods that are better than what I’ve been doing. Does anyone know the best way to cover the top? I could make a hinged lid out of plywood or metal. I will also look into all of...

Thank you!! I got him recently so what should I do to reduce the start of any pyramiding?

Here is the enclosure. I used to only have the pot under the light and uvb but then I put the log there too because I want to mist it to get the humidity up (which is something someone else said needs to happen). I want to redo the entire thing and get plants that would do better than the ones I...

Hi everyone, I am back again with an update and questions on my tortoise’s health. If these pictures look unhealthy in anyway could you please give me any tips on enclosure or diet changes? Thank you tortoise lovers!!

Okay thanks so much. I soak once a day is that enough?

Woah that’s so accurate. Because I found out I got it at 3 months and I’ve had it for a month

The picture doesn’t look to great, did you notice anything wrong with him before today?

Thank you so much!! I’m still learning and I’m happy to have found this forum!! I appreciate both of your guys’ help so much! Have a nice day!! Oakley enjoys bok Choy already which is good!!

Good idea thank you! Is it safe to feed this? I don’t want to overdose the calcium

Thank you for your response! I noticed that the nail had a large extension of nail which was not the quick which is why I chose to trim it. My tort seems happier because would often not be able to walk well with such long nails and I was worried it would scratch itself. I feed mostly green leafy...

So true omg. I ended up leaving it because I didn’t think it was worth the effort to try to fix it. Glued some moss on and called it a day. It was very hard to apply for me too but I think I also got the wrong one and then had it outside in the rain for a day -whoops. That probably didn’t help.

Hi tortoise lovers!! I have a baby marginated tortoise around 5 months old who is a good eater and very active most of the day. I am not concerned about their health but I have a small question. I clipped their nails a few days ago so they weren’t too long, but I am wondering if anyone ever...

Definitely a redfoot tortoise!! Easy care for it would be feeding greens like kale or spring mix from the store. They have to be soaked In shallow water so they can be hydrated. Try to keep them warm or out in the sun for at least an hour. Try posting on a neighborhood website or even Craigslist...
