    Oops

    Well, we had been told that Myrtle was a girl, but apparently we were told incorrectly. I got 'flashed' tonight after soaking.

    Relieved

    After we first got Myrtle home, she would poop piles of pellets, then had some diarrhea, then nothing now for a week. She has been peeing regularly, after about 4 days of chalky urates at first. She finally pooped today! A lot. "Turds" this time. Sorry for all the details, but just trying to get...

    What's normal for poop? Do they go every day? I was just soaking her and got a bunch of white stuff, instead of the black/green she has been having. We've only had her a couple of days, but I want to make sure we don't do anything to hurt her.

    Hi, new tortoise owner

    Hi all. I rescued a Sulcata tortoise today. He was dumped in a tub, along with two Red-Footed tortoises, outside my work. I did some reading online and talking to a co-worker who knows reptiles, and decided to bring him home. Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Since we live in...
