    Outside Time Causing Stress?

    I appreciate your advice. As I stated above, we know very little about her other than what we were told. I was told by her previous family she had no problem accepting pellets and calcium and greens, but it has come out that they were exclusively feeding her romaine and very rarely anything else...

    Outside Time Causing Stress?

    We inherited her from another family whose son quit taking care of her so we have had to do lots of work and give her lots of love to get her even this active so I am excited to see what a bigger tank will be like for her

    Outside Time Causing Stress?

    Outside Time Causing Stress?

    I have one of those tortoise calcium/cactus block things but she doesn’t touch it. The cuttle bone idea is great I’ll have to try that out!!

    Outside Time Causing Stress?

    Another Peanut update: I couldn’t find any orchid anywhere but did find cypress mulch and changed out her tank. She is able to move so much better now. We also changed her basking bulb to a higher wattage and she is spending much more time moving around and out of her little cave. We had about...

    White Sandy Poop/Urine

    My sweet girl Peanut having a morning soak. She is still pretty reclusive and didn’t eat a lot last night but hopefully a morning soak will get her going.

    also, just for reference, we got her almost exactly a week ago and she had, from what I can tell, a diet of exclusively romaine lettuce.

    White Sandy Poop/Urine

    Hey all!! I am a first time tortoise owner and I inherited a Russian tortoise from my husbands coworker whose son had quit taking care of her. We took her in as our only family pet so she’s getting a lot of attention and love; however, I noticed she hasn’t been eating the last two days and...
