    My tortoise has passed away.

    You can find out what happened if you check my last post, but it was really late and most of the lines we rung were closed, my family were arguing and wouldn't help me find something, I went down early in the morning to check on her and she was just in the exact same space, and when I checked...

    My tortoise is gasping/choking?

    Please help, she's been doing this for about half an hour now, directly after she ate food (food she usually eats) she opened her mouth REALLY wide, so wide I could see down her throat even though there was nothing there. She made these squelching noises and now she just puts her head down on...

    Two females or a female and male?

    I currently have a five year old marginated female, and we're definitely prepared for another tortoise, especially since our local reptile center is travelling to Germany to bring in more reptiles, and they said there are marginated tortoises there but they won't be bringing them to this country...

    Hibernation

    She's five years old, marginated, lives in an enclousure with uv lights, I don't know whether to try and get her to hibernate in winter because everyone seems so shocked when I say she doesn't hibernate, but I don't see any point since her enclosure is always 20+ degrees? I mean sure if she...

    A bit of my tortoises beak came off?

    Earlier I was feeding my tortoise a dandelion, and she took too big a mouthful so she started making weird head movements, I helped her out a bit by pulling the dandelion out of her mouth incase she choked. She calmed down a bit, then carried on doing the weird head movements, then FINALLY took...

    Are strawberries bad for my Marginated tortoise?

    Hi, so I've been wondering for a while now, are strawberries bad for tortoises? Is it bad to feed them strawberries often? If it's good for them in any way, how? I've been searching, and everybody has something different to say so I'm really confused... If you're wondering, I have a 4yr...

    Should I get a second tortoise?

    :tort: Hey, so I have a four year old Marginated Tortoise - Girl. I've been thinking of getting a second tortoise for a long time now. Mainly because I am ready to take on a new pet, and also because I want my tortoise to have some kind of company, instead of living on its own for the rest...

    My tortoise's eyes keep bulging?

    My four year old marginated tortoise randomly bulges her eyes and is otherwise healthy. Her eyes look normal when she doesn't do it, the whites of her eyes are white, and her eyes are just normal black. But when she's eating and takes a break, or just anytime really, sometimes she puts her...
