I have had a family emergency that forces me to find homes for my tortoises and turtles because I will be away a lot caring for a family member. I do not know how to ship and would prefer not to. I could drive a reasonable distance to meet a prospective adopter. They are free. I will be keeping...
Does anyone else have trouble posting pics on the mobile app? My phone goes all the way through the posting process and then says upload failed please try again.
I've cleaning out the yard and clearing space and have come across a few wild weeds that have been here a while but now that the torts will be out and about I need to know if they are safe. Here are some pics
I have seen these decimals on various threads when people are talking about their torts and turtles. What do these mean and how do you decipher them? I have seen some that are 2.1 and some with three digits like 3.1.1. Just a brief explanation would be great.
I broke ground this weekend to start my outdoor enclosure. I was waiting until I cleared a lot of fallen brush and decided to do a burn on Friday since it had been so rainy up here. Well the fire department disagreed. They showed up (even though everything was under control) and told me I had to...
I have two russians that I rescued that seem to have overgrown beaks. I did a search on here for beak trimming and there nothing came up about "how to" I did a google search and found most sites say not to do it yourself. They are both eating well. How long should I give them with cuttle bones...
I'm thinking of getting this at amazon
Ambient Weather WS-0101-COMBO-KIT Wireless Thermo-Hygrometer with Three Remote Sensors
It has 3 sensors so I figure one in the hot end one in the not so hot end and one in the hide would be good. My question is on calibration.
It says it can be...
I know I saw a thread on here somewhere that had a big list of edible and non edible plants to grow in the outdoor enclosure but I can't find it now. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Is there any way to gauge what I should pay for an indoor enclosure? I just adopted a sully and the person who used to own him has a 4x4 enclosure with all the lamps and heating pads for sale. I'm not sure what to offer him for it.
His stepfather built it and says it cost about $150 not...
For those of us in the northern climates do you people have luck growing plants in the enclosures during the winter with just the lights you use for the Tortoises and turtles or do you supplement the lighting?
I bought a package of this dry diet for grazers for my russian tortoises and they won't touch it. Is this common? I thought it would be good to have in case one of the kids ate the last of the salad and didn't tell me but if they won't eat it it's not much good to me.
Thought it would be nice to get to know what people in my area do for their tortoises since we are not in the most hospitable climate. Maybe trade info?
Hi, My name is Marcel and I live in NH USA. I just recently rescued two russian tortoises and am researching to make sure I care for them properly. I will be looking up things like space requirements and environmental factors on here. If anyone has specific advice or things to link me to that...
