Hi everyone... I have 9 Greek tortoises. They have a pretty free lifestyle... And fend for themselves in the garden. This little guy heads straight for the catfood dish when he sees the door open. He loves it. I know its bad and I try to give him other things like cucumbers and dandelion as...

Hi everybody. İ live in İstanbul and have a big garden where my tortoises live freely in the garden. They have been waking up and showing themselves in the last 2-3 weeks. This young girl is about 5-6 years old. She was perfectly healthy and beautiful apart from a small white shell damage from...

This lovely tort was found by a friend by a main road. It is by far the worst break I have seen. We can not find a vet that knows reptiles who can help. What do we need to do? Please help me with what I need to do? After first aid we will try to take him to a specialist tomorrow.

Zigzag is visiting the new addition to the family :)

Hi guys, my old boy -Hermanii Chris guessed him to be "way up there"- has turned into a serial rapist and tries to mate with male or female all torts that he sees. Even young ones like this young beauty. I move him to the other part of the garden when I see him pestering others, but he gets to...

One of my neighbors brought a new Greek to us. He was living in the garden of an apartment downtown. He is a grown male and is infested with ticks. Insides of all 4 legs are covered with them. I can count more than 30, manually removing them from this animal seems impossible. What can I do? I...

Hi everybody... İ saved this guy from a car park. He was badly wounded and survived with lots of TLC. You can see the marks of the split he had in this shell. İ know he is suffering from shellrot, but it all seems to be dry and hard. And İ don't know what İ can do to make it better? Hope...
