Thank you!

@kathyth correct me if I'm wrong, but are you on the Avian Avenue forum?? I think I've seen your username a few times.

I currently have a green cheek conure named Baby. I've owned 2 african greys and a cockatiel in the past. Baby came home in early June and he's 5 months old now. We had him clipped but I'm going to keep him flighted once he molts.

it's better to get as much info as you can and be well prepared rather than bringing home a new tortoise friend without getting enough knowledge first. check out the care sheets like @johnandjade said, they have plenty of info :) Hermann's are little bundles of personality. You won't regret it!

Summer, my little Hermann's does this and it's very cute. It's only happened once but it was quite funny. Ollie my adult RT on the other hand doesn't care about food that much.

I've read somewhere that it's best if the tortoise cannot see the outside through any clear material because they will try to go through it and it will stress them out. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong.

I know is is late but petmountain is good. I haven't bought things for my torts but I bought parrot supplies and I am satisfied with their service and quality.

Hello everyone, I have an important question. It's bird-related but involves the lighting I use for my tortoises. I recently brought a new parrot home and am very concerned. Birds are extremely sensitive to PTFE and PFOA (shortened versions of the compounds used in Teflon) and I read that some...

plenty of those! I take the seeds and sprinkle them over the (to be) outdoor enclosure so they can grow and take over that spot.

we keep food in her enclosure also because she eats all the time. usually several types of leaves from the weeds in the garden. She is an absolute eating machine, it's crazy! It's mostly my RT that we feed at certain times of day. but thank you for the advice, this is my first baby.

I bought a baby Hermann's from one of the breeders on here, but make sure to ask specific questions such as: what are they raised on/substrate diet age what does the breeder guarantee where are they shipping from experience etc. you are purchasing an animal that is not cheap and you want it to...

I got Ollie on April 12, 2014. 7 months later we bought a little Hermann's, but she doesn't belong in this thread. ;)

my gorgeous boy, Ollie.

Went outside today and I'm positive there were at least 30 dandelions blooming. First thing I thought.... tortoise food!!! Ollie and baby Summer are chomping away. Ollie decided to go sleep behind the couch, so I'll have to go grab him after Summer is done in dandelion heaven. We feed the torts...

thank you so much! is there anything I can do to help it heal or should I just soak him as I usually do, if not more often?

Hello everyone, I checked on my RT today and noticed a reddish area on his neck (not pink) and I became worried. I soaked him just in case and it looks sort of like a burn, but his basking spot doesn't go higher than 90 degrees. Here are some photos, I'm really worried. I've had him almost a...

hello everyone! I already have a RT that I've had for almost 7 months now, but we are happy to introduce our newest member of the family! she is a 2.5 month-old eastern hermann's tortoise from gbtortoises. (he incubates at higher temps so there is a 4:1 chance it's a girl, I think.) look at her...

ill most likely test him again at his next checkup in april.

got ollie tested today and surprisingly, he came out negative! i took some nice solid poops for them to do the fecal with. (at the time of the photo he was transitioning to some other foods, and we were using romaine hearts to tempt him). thanks for the help!

just read a bit and I will take Ollie in to get the right dosage from the vet.
