Hello I am building an outdoor enclosure for my tort, I was wondering if anyone had any tips?
I have built "hobbit hole" for my tort. I have dug a hole a few feet down into the ground, I have used fence posts that are notched out, together in an x shape. I used chicken wire and wire fencing...
I have been looking for a breeder who works with marginated torts. I have been looking for a mate for my male for the last year or so with no luck. I have been in contact with garden state torts and chris was helpful but due to restrictions at the Border, he is unable to help with the...
I have just noticed on my little guys left front leg that there is a red mark. His skin looks to be really irritated I assume from his shell but I am wondering if there is at home remedies or should I take him to the vet. I don't want him in any pain and want him back to healthy so whatever I...
I am looking to provide my tort with the best functioning enclosure I can possibly give, would anyone have suggestions on attaining this? The measurements are 4x4 and as of now am using a cypress substrate big enough chunks that he won't ingest. Any tips would be much appreciated on decor or new...
Would a male marginated and female spur thighed tortoise have a possibility of mating? And if they did would there be a possibility of hybrid babies? I assume it wouldn't work I'm just curious
Hello I live in Canada and am finding it extremely difficult to find my male marginated a girlfriend. If there are any breeders who are breeding for female I would love to acquire some babies, juveniles, or adults.
I usually feed her Belgian endive, kale, baby boc Choy, escarole, swish chard, collard greens, and nappa cabbage. I want to add some more diversity to her food but don't know what else to add. Anyone who has any ideas on what else I could add would be much appreciated. :)
I have had my female for a few months now, she's about a year old from what the pet store told me. I was wondering if the introduction of a smaller female marginated into the same enclosure would be a be a good idea. I don't want to stress the one I already have out or have my girl kill the...
I took a close look at her eyes she seems very aware and not in any discomfort. It could just be a piece of dry skin below her eye but I like to be safe rather then sorry.
As she decided to be camera shy today I couldn't get a clear picture but the other side doesn't look like that it's clear...
My marginated has been digging herself into the bottom of the tank and just making a tunnel from one side of the enclosure to the other all morning is it normal?
I've been feeding her a mix of collard greens, kale, endive, dandelion greens,Swiss chard, Escarole, napa cabbage, and the supplement powder at every other feeding. I also feed small amounts of carrots and fruits. What could I be doing to give her everything she needs? Thank you
