Santa Donny loading up his slay!

Hi guys Just need a bit of advice please, Donny is 4 1/2 now and is an indoor tort. He hasn't hibernated yet for various reasons but his behaviour and activity levels have remained constant throughout the year so far. How ever this year has been a bit different in December he was very very...

Hi guys Donny is only 4 years old and so far for various reasons has not hibernated yet. The upside for us is that he gets involved at Xmas time! It has become a tradition that Donny stars on our card, some of you may remember from last year. Well this year is no different, hope you like...

Hi guys A few weeks ago I noticed I could hear Donny breathing quiet loudly so I took him to the vet. He said it sounded a little strained so put him on a 2 week course of antibiotics. During the two weeks he had his good and bad days, his appetite dropped but he was full of energy in fact for...

Hi guys just wondering now My little man has hit puberty is there anything I should be doing?

So today I had the afternoon off work and got donny out for a run around as I normally do when we're at home, he loves exploring! He was making his tell tail I'm about to do a poop signs (standing on tiptoes and bobbing his head in and out) so I went to get a tissue only to see it wasn't a poop...

So being Donny's first Xmas we decided it would be nice to make him the star of our Xmas cards. So here are a few of my favourite picks from the shoot! He is such a little poser

I wasn't going to put Donny in hibernation as I thought at just over 2 he was a bit young. He is kept indoors and the temperature in his enclosure is constant despite the uk weather turning cold. The last week he has become a lot less active and is eating very little. He sleeps a lot more than...

Hi guys Donny had a large hut in his enclosure that he never went in so yesterday I removed it to make more space and put a low bridge in its place. Straight away he was exploring climbing over it and generally enjoying himself. He has now started almost throwing himself off it! He climbs to...

Hi guys Now the weather has started to improve here in the Uk I am able to get Donny outside a lot more but he is always supervised. I have noticed that when ever out side exploring he would sniff around and try and dig our small pebbles in the soil but today I actually caught him eating one. I...

Hi everyone, I have heard people mention about baby food baths can some one expand on what the benefit of these are? How often you should give them and what type of food. Is the idea that they eat the food? I am very worried about Donny's calcium intake as he doesn't like power I put on his...

When I first started putting Donny on the grass it was a job to keep an eye on him as he blended so well. I then came across this website called mossy tortoise where they crochet shell cosies in cute and funny designs so you can spot your little ones easier when their out side. Here's Donny in...

Hi everyone, In an attempt to keep Donny entertained I have mad him a new indoor home out of a large 1m x75m dog bed. The plastic formed bed was a perfect solution as it's deep enough that I could build different layers for him to explore. Anyway as you can see from the picture I currently only...

I have had Donny now for 4 months and he's a happy little thing who seems to respond to my voice now and is not particularly shy or anything but when I get him out for a run around the house he always bolts for dark corners or places where he can hide away. Would you say this is normal behaviour?

Hi everyone I have had my 2 year old Herman, Donny only a week now. I keep him in a tortoise table and have a 160w basking/heat lamp. I keep finding him buried in the substrate is this normal? I'm worried the light might be either to hot or not hot enough. Any advise?
