Just seen this on Craigslist. Don't know if this is the right section to put this in. So frustrated. This poor guy on cedar shavings in a 10 gal tank. Makes me sad https://newhaven.craigslist.org/pet/5841862343.html

Can anyone recommend a probiotic for Greek tortoise? Gus was on Baytril for a few weeks, he has since recovered but only eating very little every few days. I'm thinking the antibiotic did a number on his belly. He is drinking and I'm still soaking him everyday. Thanks in advance!

Quick question. Gus had his antibiotic switched today to Baytril for URI. He is now on .15ml Baytril injection every 5 days. Is it usually spaced that far apart? I've read sometimes every 72 hrs but not 5 days apart.

Gus has been on antibiotics ( Fortaz) for 2 weeks now for URi. At first he had wheezing and what sounded like a cough. That has cleared up but now he has clear nasal discharge coming out of his nose which he didn't have at the beginning. This just started about 3 days ago. Is there something I...

Just a quick question. I'm treating Gus my Greek tortoise for URI. Do you think it's ok to put him outside for a bit today or should he stay indoors. It's 90 here in CT today!

Gus my 6 yr old Greek sounds raspy. I took the opportunity the other day while soaking him to completely clean out his indoor enclosure. I replaced his substrate ( organic top soil/ Eco earth/ cypress mulch) cleaned all the rocks and his hide. He has been eating like a champ. But just stopped...

I had to share I don't think I would eat it but stare at it all day! Lol This is just amazing! https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=434230236772220&id=313288625533049

A friend of mine sent me this pic she found on some site. I had to share!

Nothing makes me happier than Gus having a messy face!! After a few weeks of having the cold weather blues Gus has been eating for the past three days. A combination of cold weather and I believe a bit of dehydration he seems to be back to himself. Soaking him twice a day, giving some treats of...

Gus my 5 yr old Greek Tortoise seems to not be interested in eating much lately. He hasn't been able to go outside in a couple of weeks now since it's just been to cool here in Ct. I've kept his enclosure warm 95-100 in basking area and about 75-80 on cool side. I've been soaking him every other...

Gus my Greek tortoise is outside for the day. I bring him in at night because there is too much wildlife in our yard. Today as I was bringing him out I notice some scraps on his underside. Could it be shell rot starting or fungus?

this is growing out of my Tortoises pen. It's about 4 ft now. Could it be a type of Mallow and is it edible for Greek Tortoise?

Had to share this. After supper tonight I went outside to water some plants. My neighbor came over and said" watering the flowers, there coming up so quick". I said no I'm watering the weeds for my tortoise! She started laughing at me! They are all outside digging up dandelions, killing the...

Thought I would post pics of Gus outdoor enclosure. Stuff is finally starting to grow! It is 10x6ft. I have hostas, butterfly bushes and all kinds of weeds that are growing in there. Also planted some seed from Tortoise Supply. Do you think I need to add anything or make any other improvements...

When I was bringing Gus outside today I noticed these spots on the back of his shell and some along bottom. I might just be a nervous nelly but wanted to make sure it isn't the start of shell rot. They are smooth and not rough. His shell is really hard.

Quick question. It's about 62 outside here in Ct today. Is that still too cold to bring Gus my Greek tortoise out for a bit of sunshine today?

We are welcoming our new boy tomorrow! A 3 yr old male Greek ( Testudo Ibera) from Chris at GARDENSTATETORTOISE . Very excited! After our loss of Cleo, our 8 month old Ibera last week, we decided on an older tortoise. I've set up a new enclosure for the new guy. I used an old wardrobe we had...

First I want to thank everyone that gave me advice on my 8 month old Ibera Cleo. For the past few weeks she has be battling an Upper respiratory infection. She had her ups and downs. In the past week she started eating again like a champ, started gaining her weight back and her runny nose became...
