I feed her mixed lettuce! I find it hard to find other things for her to eat! She has been off her food lately though. My main concern was that it would be either parasites or worms!

Hi guys, I'm looking for a little bit of help, my tortoise did a strange looking poo today! (See picture) any advice what could be the problem? Thanks.

So the day temp is about 37 degrees and the bulb is off at night so temps drop to around 21. I can't do a poo sample as there is no poo!

No this problem is still ongoing. I have a mercury vapor bulb i think it is this one... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Exo-Terra-PT2192-Mercury-Vapour/dp/B00101JIFG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1456132750&sr=8-1&keywords=mercury+vapor+bulb The bulb is about 3/4 months old. Diet consists of mainly lettuce...

I'm having this problem too, my tort completely not interested in food and the vet has no idea what's wrong with her! She also can't open her eyes! I'm bathing her twice daily

She definitely isn't eating, she hasn't touched her food in a week now! Getting really worried about her. Could it be that she is wanting to hibernate? I know this usually happens earlier than December though, and advice?

Hello, My tortoise has not eaten for over a week now, she hasn't opened her eyes and if it wasn't for me getting her out of bed on a morning she would probably stay in there. I have been giving her a soak every day (sometimes more than once) She has been weeing and pooing normally. Once she is...

Russian tort Her eyes are getting worse! And she hasn't pooed for 2 days! Please advise!

Russian tort My tortys eyes have got worse :( any suggestions?? [hr] Could it be lack of humidity? I have an open top table so looses humidity easily? Maybe a change in diet? Substrate? Just want to make her better :(

Russian tort Yes there is a plant dish filled with fresh water every day! I use a bulb like the bottom one but it's not a mercury vapor bulb

Hi everyone :) I have a horsefield/Russian tortoise and live in the uk so due to the weather we keep her inside! I keep her in an open top tortoise table and use coco coir as substrate with straw/hay type thing for when she goes up to sleep! Lately she has had really sore eyes, she keeps...

Here is a pic of her eye...

Hi Yvonne, I use a 60w basking spot lamp (attached a pic of the box and the lamp) Should I bring her to the vet? Thanks, Sarah

Hi everyone! So my little Russian/horsefield tort had some eye problems, sometimes she wasn't opening them and she kept rubbing them as if they irritated her! I thought it was because her substrate was too dry so I changed it so coco coir! She seemed to get better and back to normal until...

Thanks for the advice! Is the attached picture the correct coco coir? I will bath her everyday to get her health up too [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

What substrate do you suggest?

Wow that's a coincidence! There doesn't seem to be anything in her eyes, just look sore and she is always rubbing them! It must be the substrate! In thinking of putting some plain top soil on top of all that, what do you think?

Hahaha this is the best!

I know what you mean, I live in Yorkshire! A lot of the people here live in the USA and can put their torts outside all the time!

Thanks! Yeh she has been having some eye problems lately too, rubbing then quite often and sometimes I see her and they are shut! Like the pic below! :( Is that due to substrate being too dry and humidity not being as high as it should be? I do bathe her at least twice a week! Thanks again...
