After giving my tortoise a bath i noticed a piece of his scute had flaked off and into the towel. His shell is hard but theres pieces of his scutes that seem flakey. He has been this way since i adopted him. The top of his shell especially has a lot of pieces missing. I bought him that way...

Troubles usually eats an organic spring mix or herb mix. Ill sometimes mix in kale, brocolli, or zuchini. He has tried tomato and mango once or twice but doesnt really seem to want to eat usually. I thought it would b nice to change things up but he doesnt seem to want to try anything new? Any...

I live near downtown chicago, in an apartment, with no yard but we do have a rooftop deck. Since tortoises are known to be great at disappearing I thought it would be safer if I made a playground just for him on our roof. Im using a large storage box, soil, coconut coir, sand, rocks, and a...

Hi everyone! Sorry this is so long, I just felt like I had a lot to explain. I just got back from my 5 day vacation. I posted a thread earlier that asked if I should get someone to babysit while I was gone. I had to ask my roommate to check up on him at least twice. I didn't really want her...

I have had troubles for about two months now. It has been really to cold to let him play outside or I have been busy with school or work. But this last weekend it was finally really nice! and I had a whole day off. So my boyfriend and I took Troubles outside and let him roam around freely...

I am going out of town for 5 days and 4 nights. I have bought a timer for my russian tortoises lamps. he has a pool to swim in and places to hide and sleep. Do you think i need a tortoise-sitter? Or should I just keep him stocked with a lot of food. Troubles never seems to over eat...
