    Good Morning, From a Swimming Tortoise :)

    I am the proud new owner of a red foot and soon as I brought her home I soaked her I some warm water and had to walk away for a minute so I asked my husband to keep an eye on her.

    growth rates

    I have two sullies that are the exact same age and can both fit in the palm of my hand but since I started feeding mazuri within the last couple months one of them has almost doubled the size of the other. Is this normal? They are both very active and eat at the same time and the same amount...

    It sounds like your baby has a respiratory infection. I rescued an adult box turtle that was so infected it was blowing bubbles and both of its eyes we're swollen shut and pus filled. BUT the good news is I got her out of it very very fast and it was very simple. Make sure you feed them properly...

    Thank you everybody for your advice I will use all I am given. And I just ordered some mazuri to try and see if the babies like it.

    Hello I have two approx two year old sulcata tortoises and they seem very small for their age by what I am reading. What would be the best thing for them food wise to help them grow healthy and at a good safe rate? I live in Midwest Illinois and feed some grasses and I buy red leafed lettuce...
