Thank you! I will go to the store tonight and look for the cream. Hopefully it clears up

Thank you. If it is indeed shell rot then hopefully someone knows what cream or whatever is needed. He will be coming inside very soon on drier substrate, pretty bad tropical storm headed this way. The Redfoot is tropical and in a tropical environment so I would think the sulcata would have...

Thank you for your input. I do greatly care about the health of my pets and believe I'm doing everything best for them. They eat diets specialized to them. There are different areas of their habitat, to provide them with climates they need. All baby tortoises need high humidity it's been proven...

My baby Redfoot tortoise has something wrong with his shell. I believe it could possibly be shell rot from damp conditions it's been very wet this year. He lives in an outdoor enclosure 8ftx4ft. He also lives with a baby sulcata (no they don't need separated I've talked to many reptile...

He tends to do everything he can to move away from the heat, the uvb light was just replaced a few weeks ago, however where he lays under a pile of hay he doesn't get any of it unless I wake him up to eat. Also I plan on building him an outdoor pen soon (if it ever gets warmer here). Would...

Lately my tortoise has been very inactive, reluctant to eat only eating a very bites if I show him the food, he literally never comes out unless I move him he just stays in his burrow. It has not gotten cold at all and nothing has changed about his cage however I did recently move. Also I never...

How about squash and kale?

I've been on so many sites I've had this tort for quite awhile but while trying to find if he can eat kiwi or not I found he can't have collards apparently then some say it's a good staple?!? I'm so so confused I've been on the tortoise table site 100 times at least and it isn't helping me. Can...

Okay so finally getting my tortoises enclose perfect for him. His temps are good he has a new uvb light everything however when I fed him I noticed a bunch of little gnat looking things crawling everywhere in his substrate! Is there something safe am organic I can use to get rid of them. I'm not...

Right now it's been staying only in the low to mid 70s but I'm hoping by the time I move the end of this month it will warm up for him. He has a kiddie pool with some mulch in it that he goes in when it is warmer but since it's defiantly not escape proof it's only a few hours or so because you...

It's currently on only two hours a day to save money basically my mom makes me cut all my reptiles lights down a lot because of money problems but that's the whole point of moving so it will change soon. I will try to lower the lights and see if that helps and change his feeding to smaller meals...

If I put a piece of plexiglass over it, will the heat from the lamp above it heat the inside of the enclosure if that makes any sense

Okay so I've gone round and round with the whole proper lighting for a Russian tortoise thing. My tort has a 150w heat light in the middle of his enclosure and one side he has a 75w bulb for basking that is only on at certain points during the day, I feel like no matter what I do his cage really...

So I know absolutely nothing about water turtles. My friends mom however has 2 tiny little turtles one is painted and I'm not sure what the other is maybe it's painted too. Anyway one of them has had swollen eyes and sometimes bubbles. When we googled the symptoms it came up as lack if vitamin a...

Other than running around outside sometimes none really. They really only get walks on occasion if it ever cools off. Based on the advice I've been getting I'm going to start walking her a couple times a week and hopefully the vet gives us a few answers

Thank you guys for the advice. We've decided that though it's going to be tough with the money problem right now she needs to be seen sooner rather than later and will be seeing the vet

Thank you guys for the advice. We've decided that though it's going to be tough with the money problem right now she needs to be seen sooner rather than later and will be seeing the vet Saturday. Hopefully all works out

The dog has only recently been snipping at people and dogs. And my dogs get treats and scraps all the time. As a puppy she played rather rough and we never really taught her to not even play bite by the time she was 9-10 months she stopped even playing. She is a rescue who was from an abuse case...

She could maybe have cancer or something. She is really prone to tumors but they always stay small and benign

Any idea how to make her a bit more comfortable for now? Won't have the money for the vet till next month.
