Do u mind me asking whefe you got your hingeback? I've been looking for young k Erosa for a few weeks. The website turtlesandtortoises.com had some but the people took two weeks to get back to me and by the time they did they we're sold. :-(. U have some great looking tortoises by the way.
Worst posible news! My girlfriend just informed me that mortish the hingeback has passed on. She went to check up on her to see if she had eaten any of the medicen and she's not breathing and not responcive. :-(
So the results came in from the vet yesterday and the fecal sample showed nothing . The Dr said that it's most likely viral and gave me some pill segments to crush up and make a paste to put around her mouth. Since she's not eating when she tries to drink water she will have swalowed some pill...
some good news today she seems very active. well more active then lately. she woke up at sunrise, sunbathed, drank some water and then refused her food. she then went back to her sluggish behavior. I think she may be craving more sun than i give her. Could this be the issue? Ive red they prefer...
Ive tried wax worms but she wasn't intrestid . she is looking a little better tho moving around a little more and drinking water more often but she still inst eating. im also still waiting to see what the vet has to say about the stool sample
i know there are a few hinge-back owners on here but is there any breeders willing to part with a youngster? i know there a lot harder to breed then most but after the fright i had with purchasing wild caught i prefer to deal with captive bread tortoises. The serrated hingeback AKA Kinixys erosa...
85 is the basking spot the rest is between 70 and 75, her enclosure is by a closed window except in morning when the sun is shinning directly in. I live in Arizona so it getting to cold is not an issue except MABY at night but i have a night light for her. I use to see her soak every day, now if...
ive had my female hinge-back for a weeks now and she seemed healthy and active, but around the same time my male died (the day after actually) her personality and actions changed dramatically. shes not eating barley drinking & moving. originally she loved fruits of all kinds and the male would...
about 3 weeks after i got him my male hingeback tortoise (aka) rigamortis the tortoise passed away last night. its sad to say but i saw it coming. the day i got my tortoises via mail he seemed fine. walking around and exploring but not eating. i noticed he was very light in weight and became...
thanks for all the input guys. i guessed the same thing about the tortoises but i just wanted to check to make sure. its funny because the tortoise that looks like its the female has a deep indented plastron so it was a little confusing.
Thank everyone for the warm welcom. The name nibbler came from the show futurama pluss the little guy just keeps eating. Hahaha I stumbeled upon a picture of a hingeback on the internet and fell in love. I began researching like crazy. Looking for videos and all the picks and info I could...
I just receved my new budies about a week ago and was told it would be 1 male and 1 female but I'm having a hard tim figuering out which one is a guy and which 1 is a girl. The 1 with the shorter tail has an indented plastron and the 1 with a long tail is flat so I'm a little stumped. Your...
