I have been feeding him any greens I could find. I went to the asian market and found things I couldn't find any where else. Not only has he been eating the dirt, but last night he started eating the repti bark. I set him on the floor and he tried to eat something there. Not his food though. I...
I've written here a couple times but the computer is not my friend so I hope this finds the right people.
I have a Russian Tortoise that has stopped eating. After analyzing this forum I have made some significant changes but it seems to not have been enough.
He now has a 4x8 tortoise table...
Do I keep posting here on this thread with various questions, or start anew?
Anyway, I would like any referrals for a ceramic heating element on a thermostat. I am becoming overwhelmed with all the choices and the one stars that accompany everything. I am going to home depot tomorrow for a...
I don't know about the white web but am very curios. I didn't know you had to bake the substrate before you use it. Is this something that should always be done?
Thank you much for the info. I went to the hardware store today to find the 45-65 incandescent flood lights that the care sheet recommended and although they do sell them individually not a box of 12, the man at the hardware store said they don't give off heat or uv. Is the purpose for just light?
I now have more questions that maybe I should already know. What is a Carrot bath? I could have miss read but the visual I have is ridiculous. What soil do you use for a dig box? The only sterilized soil I know of is seed starting soil and that has other stuff in it? I am getting ready to build...
Thank you. I did just that. Someone, somewhere made a mistake. I drove around and bought 7 of them. I used one bag in Speedy's cage and when I build him a bigger one I suspect it will be 2 or 3.
Good Afternoon
I posted here a week ago with some questions about care for Speedy and was told to read the care sheet. Very Informative. I now have additional questions I'm hoping I can get answers for. I feel like the little guy has been cheated the last few years by my care.
I have been on...
Thank you for the info, I will find the care sheet and read it. I read someone else's post and they said make sure you dry them off everywhere, he seemed to be bothered by that. If you live in Chicago, are you not worried about all the skunks, raccoons, coyotes and fox that are very wiley and...
Hi, I'm new to this forum but have had Speedy, a Russian tortoise for a few years now. I feel like I should be doing a much better job than I am because the vet has given me much information,but the poor little guy isn't eating much and if I add the calcium or vitamin d that is recommended he...
