I tried making an outdoor garden area for my tortoise to roam around in for a few hours a day, but it turns out the soil I bought had some tiny little pebbles in it. My tortoise will go for these pebbles as soon as he sees them and then sniff them and try to eat them. He swallowed one once and I...

Found it! The henbit is toxic, but deadnettle is safe.

Wow, very cool. One of the best indoor enclosures I've seen. Wish I was more handy, I just used a bookshelf lol. I need to add a 2nd story.

You could always get a cheap heat lamp with a UV light and grow some clover/italian dandelion inside.

I just wanted to check and see if these weeds are ok for my russian tortoise? http://imgur.com/veTh3Cl,tDw7eSl#0 I think the stuff on the left is henbit and the stuff on the right is deadnettle. Not sure though.

Hello, I'm just wondering if there are any dried pellet foods that are good for russian tortoise hatchling? Mine is about 4 months old. I feed it spring mix, kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, a bunch of seed mixes I've bought online, supplements, and aloe for a snack. I was thinking about...

Does it matter what time of the day you feed your tortoise? I am not able to feed mine until around 2-3 pm and I have to wake him up to give him a soak everyday and then after he eats he goes back to sleep. I soak him for about 10 minutes everyday and he eats good. My lamps are on from 8 am-8...

The one from carolina pet supply has a ton of grass in it which torts won't touch for the most part.

Hello, I believe these are purple henbits? Are they safe for a russian tortoise hatchling to eat and if so how often? Thanks. http://imgur.com/LUfLhcI,fYCpuVH http://imgur.com/LUfLhcI,fYCpuVH#1

Yeah, I bought a few off there. I found a ton on amazon, but not sure if they are safe for the tortoise to eat.

Hello, I am looking for a safe place to buy some cheap aloe plats, hen & chicks, or other succulent plants that weren't grown with fertilizer obviously. If any of you have other plants you would recommend growing for a russian tortoise please let me know! I already have plenty of seed mixes for...

Alright, thanks guys!

Hey, I was wondering if these succulents would be ok buy just to have around for my russian tortoise hatchling to add to his diet? If so, how often should I offer them? Thank you...

Thought so, just wanted to make sure since I saw there is stuff that looks like it which is bad for them. I bought some new zealand white clover seeds, but they are taking forever to grow inside haha.

Are these types of clovers ok for a russian tortoise to eat? http://imgur.com/Gwgp9wo

Yeah, mine was a pain to try and get to fit together correctly. I got one for my russian hatchling just so i can have him outside a few hours a day in spring/summer and make sure he is safe.

Yeah, I bought the russian mix and it is almost all grass which my tort will not touch.

Hello, I am looking for some seed mixes for my russian tortoise. So far I have new zealand white clovers, dandelions, chicory, and a russian tortoise seed mix from carolina pet supply. The dandelions take a very long time to grow and the russian tortoise mix seems to be only growing grass. I've...

I've read on here something about feeding them pumpkin as a natural de-wormer. You might try googling that to check it out.

I've heard you feed them as much as they will eat within 10 minutes instead of 20 like adults, but you soak them more often as well. I like to feed my baby russian a bit of seed mix I have growing in my windowsill in the morning to get him going and encourage him to come out of his hide and then...
