I was told that i need to increase the humidity in my setup and int he greek forum i was suggested that maybe i need to change substrate. Currently i am using plain compost, sand and oyster shells for my greeks. where i live i cannot find topsoil or cococoir, so I went around the internet and...
Hi all,
I feed my one year old torts twice a week soaked komodo and a daily varied high fibre, rich calcium vegetable diet. I am getting obsessed that my torts are starting to pyramid.
Over here we have a high humidity and rarely it is below 60%. Apart from the ambient humidity i soak them...
Hello again.
I am a bit confused on whether i should be giving turnip leaves to my greeks. some sites recommend it and others mention that they can be an inhibitor to calcium absorption. What is your experience with it? Do you feed it? in this time of year it is very abundant here and i'm...
Once i posted pics of some hatchlings which i suspected they were nabeulensis. (tunisians) Some asked me to provide pictures of the parents. so here you go..i think this is mummy!
Can you confirm it is a tunisian, and that she's a she!?
thanks to all
I am planning to transfer my greeks in my garden and am a bit worried about the cats that roam free. have you ever experienced any attacks from cats on tortoises?
I have these weeds in our garden. Can somebody identify them please?

This is plant 2: (the big plant in the middle of the mint)

Plant 4:
Plant 5: Again this weed has small yellow...
Hi,
One of my greek hatchling is still 24g whereas the others range in the region of32-34g. Do you know where i can find a table indicating what the proper weights should be?
My graeca is probably a tunisian.
Your feedback is welcome.
thanks again!
For the last couple of weeks i noticed that one of my greeks (hatched September 12) is not eating as much as the other two are eating. yesterday, when he woke up, i noticed some mucus on his left eye. i used some saline water drops to clear it away and placed him in a hospital box with tissue...
Hi there!
During this period we have a lot of this weed. it is very much similar to stinging nettle, but it does not irritate your skin. Anyone knows what it is and whether i can feed it to my greeks?
Thanks again for your help ;)
Hi there,
Can anyone be so kind to tell me whether this plant is safe to give to my greeks? I was told it is a form of cacti, but i will not give it to them if i'm not sure that it is not poisonous.
Hi there.
I have two sliders but have little information on which type they are. my guess is that they are either cumberland turtles or a hybrid. Can someone help me? They are two years old. Can you recognize their sex at two?
Thanks to all for your help!
Anyone can recognize the subspecies for my Testudo Graeca?
So i was given two tortoises recently from a guy he had absolutely no idea which species they were. This man had bought some tortoises when he was younger. He kept them in his garden (in Malta EU -climate is very similar to their own)...
