Sooo cute!! I do the same thing when soaking all my tortoises.. I separate each one of them..

They have 4 hiding caves, and under the potted plants i put 2 water dishes.. I'll put more plants tomorrow.. They didn't spend much time today in the outdoor cos it was raining heavily today.. Overall humidity in the enclosure 85%.. It just rained here it went up to 89%.. One of them...

I just checked outdoor temp, it is 91.6F I checked overall indoor enclosure with CHE 60W yesterday 85.3F The eyes not always teary.. and the fluid discharge from the nose happened this morning.. There's only tiny bubble on their mouth but not always there.. You can see at the pictures below...

Update: The swollen eyes actually gets better.. However it's still teary and now i see fluid discharge from his nose and i just saw tiny bubbles on his mouth.. :( So, it's respiratory infection then? I put him outdoor most of the time now.. I put him back to his enclosure when it's dusk and...

Hi hi.. I just tried to fix the enclosure this morning.. It's noon now from where i live.. Changes: 1. I put more fake plants so they have more place to hide. 2. I switched the bulb to CHE, cos now i mostly put them outdoor since i made the barrier in the backyard for them. 3. I put water...

It's beautiful! I use chicken wire.. And making it like a door.. I put hinge on it too so i can open and close it easily..

i used to use thin plastic food container for each of the babies like the ones shown in my avatar.. But then this happened! :D So now i use bigger plastic bowl with higher sides.. much better and safer.. Phewww...

After several times that i thought i lost my torts.. I've decided that i have to put barrier for the torts for their sunning session.. :D I like to watch them grazing around without the barrier, but i have 3 two-legged-children of mine.. So you know how i can get easily distracted. It's 6ft x...

Thanks for the link Angela.. Sure i will always give them varied diet.. Yup.. I just turned off the lamp, and will put the CHE up as soon as possible.. Hope he will recover soon.. absolutely will update here.. Thanks again..

Yesterday, I noticed my indian star tortoise eyes were swollen.. And today it got even more swollen (i guess) and teary. I don't see any runny nose. He eats fine. I give calcium 2x a week. I soak him in warm water 20 minutes everyday. Get about 2 hours each day grazing to get sunlight and...
