    Have a look at the deep Billy bookcase range in Ikea to give you an idea of what you can purchase here in the U.K. - people do sell them second hand also ?

    Sick Russian Tortoise

    Good luck with your little fella, he’s in good hands now :). Carrot baby food soaks can do wonders, I hope his eyes open soon. I’ve a 6 year old Russian, a little monkey still stomping around despite the cold weather here.

    Does my Russian hate me?

    My Russian did this for the first time a few weeks ago when I trimmed his toe nails, I don’t think he liked having all four feet done in one sitting. I realised he was sleeping too much because I’d moved his enclosure around and he was getting too hot under his lamp, hence he hadn’t trimmed his...

    poorly russian :-(

    poorly russian :-(

    I’m sure help is on its way from the more experienced owners but in the meantime, post some pictures of your little one and your enclosure as this is usually what is asked for so that better advice can be offered. Hope he’s on the mend soon.

    New keeper of two Horsfield tortoises Pippa & Marli

    They hardly move at the moment without hawk eyes on them, I'm just so fascinated with them! I will separate them if need be though. Marli has been so adventurous today, lovely to watch. Unfortunately, we had some pretty heavy downpours of rain, so they didn't go outside today. (The good old...

    New keeper of two Horsfield tortoises Pippa & Marli

    Hi Yvonne, I gave my substrate a good old soaking yesterday and really mixed it up. The difference in Marli today is unbelievable (although it may be a coincidence!!). I took them outside for a good old bask yesterday and plenty of exercise. Both are eating well.
