Thanks Tom Yea due to his new found affection for it I'm going to start reducing it in his diet . He seems to only want to eat the BokChoi and I'm sure too much of anything isn't good . I love pizza and tacos but I don't have them every day . Mmmmm pizza and tacos !

I did a small controlled test , well I guess you can guess which plate had the BokChoi on it a d which one had the organic spring mix . I'm wondering what it is about BokChoi that these guys love so much ! Ernesto seems to be healthy and growing well so I'll keep feeding it to him in...

Thanks Wellington ! Here's the most recent pic of Ernesto , he's grown quite a bit since our last post on the forum . Right now he's 37 weeks old and weighing in at a about 190G I noticed he's been getting a little peaking of the skin on his lower jaw area . This area is usually dark with...

I started adding a little baby BokChoi into my Tortoise Ernesto's diet recently . He absolutely loves this stuff !! So much that if I put some in his food area and he's say chillin in his house , he will come out and devour it ! Only seconds later to look up at me with the "what I didn't see any...

Took Ernesto to the Vet this morning , I found a great referral in the Vet listing . The Doc took a look a Ernesto a d the first thing he comment on was that he was a bit chubby at 47g at 4 1/2 months old. The did a fecal check and it turns out he did have parasites . The doctor suggested a...

Laura Yes I'm taking a sample in for the vet . He haven't been eating allot of cactus , only about 2-3 big bites a day . He still prefers squash and baby greens .

Here's a really good pic of the kind of Poo I'm referring too . Please if anyone knows what's causing this let me know . I'm honestly getting worried about the lil guy . Taking him to the vet early next week just to see . [hr] Here's the photo

Thanks for the info He really seems to love the white centers of the yellow squash . I changed out the lettuce plant in his tank to a wheat grass plant and I've noticed increased snacking at night so hopefully this might add some fiber to his diet . I've also chopped it up and added it into...

I've noticed over the past 2 weeks my lil Sulcata Ernesto has been having very green dissipated diarrhea type poo in his bath . When I first got him he was for the first 3 weeks having more solid stools . I've tried varying his diet from spring mix / dandelion greens to more wheat grass Carrot...

Thank you for all your compliments and kind words about Ernesto . I love the last pic as well , it's now my avatar 😊

Wow those two look amazing !

Thanks Jay ! Lil Ernesto took to hand feeding right away . Last night I tried to give him some squash and he like any good child took one bite then turned his head . Now if I could just get him to stop playing in his poo , but that might be a different post altogether .

I wanted to change up my Tortoise Ernesto's diet a bit , as I think I might be over doing it on the spring mix / Arugala and kale . Today I introduced him to Carrots , patty pan squash and zucchini . Here are a few pics

Tortle Thank you 😃 I guess I'm just overly worried about the lil guy so I spoil him .

Today I walked in on him high sided on a rock asleep . For the most part though he has house trained himself to sleep in his hut once the lights go off . My last dog never learned that , so I'm guessing these guts are pretty smart .

Thank you !! I such a excited new parent . As for taking the header, I think he was showing off for me lol Yes he's very adventurous , there's a slanted rock in his tank that he's figured out how to belly slide down. He seems to really like it :)

I'm still not having any luck posting pics to the forum . If anyone uses Instagram ( brad4130 ) you can see pics of my lil guy up there . Today he did something that pretty much gave me a heart attack . In his tank I have one of the wooden hide a log thingy's from the pet store . I watched...

I saw my lil guy Ernesto flipped over today for the first time . As I jumped up to help he flipped himself back over without trouble . This filled me with a sense pride for my lil guy . He's exploring and learning new things !!

My lil guy devours the organic spring mix from WholeFoods with a few dandelion green thrown in .

Thank for welcoming me to the Fourm I'm looking forward to learning allot from everyone . I've been posting from my phone using the app. I'm not sure why the photos are not uploading . Over the past 24 hrs I've gotten the heat zones dialed in . Lil Ernesto has been eating regularly and napping...
