    Fecal Impaction, substrate dilemma!

    Coco coir is the best for consumption I have heard. However my usually lively little girl is acting the same way and this post has me worried she might be impacted as well. I use wood chips on the bottom for absorbing purposes, then about 3-4 inches of coco coir on top. Their food falls in it...

    Tortoise Sanctuary in Florida?

    If my neighbors reported me and did to me what they did to y’all ( I live in the country so no neighbors) I would make their life hell. I’m talking saws, loud music, barking dogs, gangster rap the whole 9 yards! I know it sounds petty but make them regret it! Do it for squirt. People suck!

    No urates

    I have one baby (4-5) month sulcata that I have never seen urates from. Then the “ female” I bought that’s close to a year gets rid of them daily in her soak. Like a lot. Same conditions. More gooey but sometimes a little gritty. What adjustments should I make for king and queen Koopa? TIA

    Hay isn’t a good little nesting area under the heat lamp moistened? The rest forest floor!
