    Need to build a home for Dwight

    Dwight really has grown!

    Its been almost a year since I was gifted Dwight from a friend who felt like I'd have more time for her. She rode home in her little 10 gallon tank with a pokey substrate and a bowl of tortoise pellets. She climbed in her bowl and rode the whole way doing her best to manage the turns and bumps...

    How much should I feed?

    Dwight seems to have a never ending hunger these days. I give him a large pile of greens every morning and probably about 10-15 soaked mazuri pellets and about 10 soaked tortoise grassland diet pellets 2-3 times a week at night. Should I be feeding more? How much and of what should I increase?

    Poop trouble!

    Ok so Dwights poops have never been perfect. Too hard or too soft sometimes not pooping for a week sometimes a few days. It's been frustrating. Now the past 2 weeks she only poops once a week and thats when I soak her. It looks like she struggles to get it out. She stands up tall and puts her...

    Zoo Med natural Grassland Tortoise Food

    Dwight loves this stuff! We picked it up last week and didnt hesitate at all. It comes in pellets that with just a little bit of water expand and make a really grassy aromatic mash. Tortoise approved!
