    Russian in need of home, VA

    From the best of our vets knowledge Dante is a actually a female but we liked the name so we kept it. We are looking to rehome since she seems miserable in her tortoise table and spends all day trying to climb the walls. This could be mainly our fault since we let her spend the warmer months in...

    I'm off to the hardware store today to pick up a few flowerpots to add to her outdoor enclosure thank you for the advise! Unfortunately I can not help her find a mate :) unless she would like to make love to one of my many plush turtles LOL

    Two Bridged tote indoor enclosure

    I agree with Tom about the sand. I used the same mixture of cocoair and playsand when I first did my set up and didn't like the results at all. It was always getting stuck all over his food and I felt he was ingesting way more of it then he should be. If you don't want to replace the substrate...

    Bad Bug Infestation

    I think I might give the fruit idea a try. It seems to work unintentionally in my hermit crab tank because since I change out the food everyday,, the eggs they might be laying in it don't have a chance to hatch.

    Lost 20 grams and very active

    I actually cleaned out Dante's tank this afternoon and he acts the same way. He will go a bit crazy for a few days before settling back into the same routine he always has. I moved one of his hides and added a bit of repti-bark(a new substrate for him) so hes not to sure what to think at the...

    Modified Zoo Med Tortoise House build thread (Lots of pictures)

    I love the stone tile idea for a hide. I purchased just one of them for a basking spot for my Russian but I love the idea of buying some more and creating a house like you did. Bravo my friend!

    Bad Bug Infestation

    You are not alone! I have also had this exact same problem! At first it didn't bother me, it was only a few of them and they didn't seem to bother Dante. After about a week though and a failed attempt at apple cider vinegar mix, a alcohol, mix and when I started to get desperate a mango kool...

    Target- tortoise shell

    That is pretty awesome! I could see myself using it as a canvas of sorts and maybe painting something on it as well then hanging it.

    Can torts hear/feel music?

    My tortoise light goes off at 8pm and around 8:30 he is normally settled into bed for the night. I try to keep my music and noise at a minimum past this time because I feel I would be annoyed if I was trying to sleep. :) Although this could just be me giving to much human characteristic to a pet...

    Eating Problem

    I'm no expert but the foods he is eating outside (grass and weeds) are probable a lot better for him anyway. I bet hes on a hunger strike till you take him outside again :)
