    Dehydrated Geek tort! HELP!!!

    I'm glad I didn't get the Gerber baby food then. I did get an organic carrot baby food and squash as well. Do you think that is high in sugar too? I read the nutrient facts and it said 4 grams of sugar in the carrot one... is that too much? [hr] What would you suggest to try to get him to eat?

    Dehydrated Geek tort! HELP!!!

    Yes, I do not want to feed him anything like fruit or pedialite because of the sugar and give him diarrhea and dehydrate him more. And I do mean he was lapping water, he took about 30 gulps of water and even dunked his head in for awhile while he was drinking, I've never seen any of my other...

    Dehydrated Geek tort! HELP!!!

    I brought home a Greek tort whom I believe is dehydrated if not extremely dehydrated from the pet store I work at. When you pick him up he feels almost like he is hollow inside, is very skinny for his size, has somewhat sunken in eyes, doesn't move too much from the place you set him, and...

    Dorito's outdoor enclosure!

    Looks awesome!! What kind of tort is Dorito?? If he burrows I'd make sure he can't dig under your fence and possibly escape.

    ZEUS might be lost forever :(

Never give up hope because he'll hopefully pop up!! I know this is emotionally and physically draining but...

    Identify This Greek Tortoise (sex, subspecies)

    To me it looks like a female. I don't see any concaving on the plastron which would indicate a male. As for the subspecies I do not know, good luck!! Hopefully someone with more information will help you!

    Is a 42.5 sq ft outdoor enclosure big enough for two Russians

    No I don't, it was an idea WillTortoise's had that instead of dividing the enclosure with a single plank of wood, doing a square within a square type of enclosure. The small square would sit inside the bigger square giving it a "racetrack" look since my Russians might become more territorial...

    Just Finished Outdoor Enclosure for 2 Russians and 1 Greek

    The cover is just a green plastic fencing you would use for like garden fencing and I zip-tied them together to make one big cover and then we put four hooks on 3 sides and stapled one side completely down. I'm going to see how well it works, I'm worried about it being a pain in the butt to...

    I hate petstores.

    I completely agree with you it is so sad :( however I do work for a big pet store chain (granted I would NEVER let this happen to any tortoise under my care) I would love to hear what customers think and feel about any of the animals. Honestly if I were you I would go back and complain about...
