Is the Belgian Endive, listed as 'Chicory' here in Ireland, bad for tortoises or has it no nutritional value? I thought i had found something nice for my tort... Why would they call it 'chicory' if its endive??
Ya the bowl works fine, he just climbs all over his food anyway.
He gets up when I do (7.30am) but he doesn't really want to. I soaked him 1 morning and the water level was a little lower than usual....he fell asleep for 2 minutes. Just sitting there! Lazy little guy:D:D
This morning Sheldon woke up for breakfast, walked over to his food bowl, had a bite or 2..................and then fell asleep:D:D
His feet didn't even touch the ground. Just hanging there.
I moved him a little so he could sleep properly.
Funny how they will fall asleep anywhere:)
Are there any breeders who know if there is a mating season with their torts? Is there a time of year where they become more sexually active?
Will you have eggs hatching at different times or will they all hatch around the same time?
Just curious. Thanks
Its about 60/40 sand because i had to dry it up a bit. When i squeezed some in my hand, water came out so i added more sand. It makes a ball now but water doesn't come out.
The rabbit pellets don't surprise me. The petshop he's in is the worst in the city and we all know it, kittens in tiny boxes and sliders in an inch of water!
Hope someone saves him soon, don't know how long his shell will stay so beautiful in there.
aktch23, the door is on the left side of...
Ya i have the doors open most of the time. And i have him otside alot to get some real rays.
The temperature gradient is ok [30C in the warm corner and 20C in the cool corner] plus he just digs down into the cool,moist substrate if hes too warm.
Hey count yourselves lucky. I live in Ireland and I can't remember what the sun looks like!!:D:D
Warm and rainy at the same time...terrible!!
Love it though.
It's 2feet by 1.5feet. It has good ventilation but i had to block out the glass sides so he wouldnt be confused:)
His light is just inside, under the screen.
Thanks though, im gettin a better light and was gonna have it above the screen...might just cut out the screen in that corner.
A new pet store opened near me and they had a Hermann for sale. I noticed he was being fed on cucumber.
I know it's poor diet for tortoises like russians.
Is this ok for him because he's a Hemann?
Should i ask them to change his diet?
No no, my entire garden wouldn't be big enough for him. I'm gonna visit it most days till it's bought though! I hope some one who knows what they're doing takes him in.
My fav is where he's sleeping with his head out!!:D:D
