Our Little Torts.. who we thought was one female and male...
Turns out to be Hot blooded MALES!
We found out one day when they were soaking... and we were a bit concerned when one "flashed" us. We thought it was his anus.. and was frantically trying to figure out if anything was wrong...
One of our torts seem to enjoy mounting the other a whole lot. They are barely a year old. We don't even know their sexes but from their behavior... We suspect the bigger one could be a male. Any ideas?
Dear all,
My torts turn one in October (pretty long way to go) but I'm already thinking of having a birthday party for my torts. My husband thinks that's a little OTT (over the top) and that torts don't need to celebrate their birthdays. But I was thinking mebbe just a small mazuri meatball...
Hi all,
Noticed that the android app doens't allow posting of pics. A bit weird cause it's perfectly fine when it's done though a computer.
Could this be a bug?
Thanks!
We read alot about how sulcatas and russians tend to be destructive and push, rearrange things in their enclosures.
We stacked three mini pebbles on top of each other right smack in the middle of the enclosure to test what they would do.
They have walked around it.. and totally avoided...
When I let my star torts out.... They look for dirt, sand or small rocks to eat.
I usually make sure none of this is available.. However sometimes they manage to get some dirt in anyway. I know a minimal amount may be good for digestion, ps. They poop daily. But today one just swallowed a...
Does your torts wag their tails if when they walk?
This happens to ours sometimes. I think it's a way they are happy!
each step the tails moves right to left, in a swinging way.
Hi!
I read in a closed topic that bell pepper stems may be poisonous??
I think my stars enjoy eating red bell peppers. But I also gave them the stem.
I just took it out after reading the statement that the stems may be poisonous. (my little one had a bite at it earlier).
Can I find...
It seems that my torts are hooked on Mazuri. We feed them every other day.
They ignore the vegetables we give them and wait for mazuri. The vegetables get soft and disgusting and we have to throw them away. They are still little babiess... I'd be so guilty if they didn't have anything to eat...
Is fit bark chippings ok for 6 months old star tortoise? Does it hold moisture? I spray the substrate twice daily. And it is starting to be soft.
If I change to coconut fiber, will it become dusty and bugs will grow?

We decided on a jungle theme so we put up ferns as a backdrop. We affixed it with hot glue gun. We hope it stays.
Then we put the accessories such as the hut and other stuff like grass and rocks, water dish..
They loved it! totally...
Just wondering if tortoises get bored? our current enclosure doesn't have much things to explore. It's kept quite bare for now. But we noticed that whenevery we introduce new things.. they love to explore it!
That and when we took them out to the garden for a bit during a hot afternoon, they...
Hi is it normal for star tortoise to excrete lots of saliva all over the leaves that I placed on the food tray?
It isn't easy for them to eat some of the leaves as it lies flat on the tray
