if she is supposed to hibernate than she will hibernate, i wont inturupt instincts. i just worry that she will starve >< this is my first tort and i know nothing about the hibernation process personally, ive just read up on it. and we live in Indiana, its a place where it can be sunny and warm...

the other animals havent really posed a threat, they sniff at her and thats about it, but we recently rescued these two ferrets and they didnt know any better, honestly it was my fault because i wasnt thinking, which will never happen again. but shes fine, back to doing her torto stuff, scraping...

so i wasn't thinking the other day, and i had my tort out walking around the house, with her little balloon taped to her shell, and i also had my ferrets out wandering around the house. i look over and my dog is going nuts in a corner with the balloon so i thought maybe Venus got her self tipped...

thanks, i knew that they shouldnt have alot of fruit because of the glucose, but i didnt know if they could eat cranberries.

i have a russian tort and im not finding much on any of the care sheets about cranberries, but i remember seeing it somplace before.

does anyone live in Warsaw Indiana? im just generally curious

she has gotten alot better, she seems to be sleeping alot more than normal, she eats normally and i still soak her but she is burrowing into the dirt under her log a lot more than normal. it is fall here would that have anything to do with her behavior?

ok so i got my tort a kiddy pool for a new enclosure, (i did have her in a 10 gal tank) and now she wants out of the kiddy pool. she isnt very big and ive been told that she has enough space but i dont know what she wants from me T-T

Hmm I might consider that. She's had that bowl since I got her. But I wanna get her one that she can fit in easy

I found a nifty rock... Bowl thing specifically for torts that I'm getting next week

I got venus a kiddy pool today and transplanted dandelions (i hope they dont die :oops:) but she seems happy, i also sifted through the dirt so theres no chunks of anything harmful, and i dont know if i should keep worms in there or not so i took them all out.

oh my

she eats still twice a day, and she soaks herself..but she has been sleeping...ALOT.

yes she is healthy, i just worry because she has been doing nothing but eating and sleeping this past week.

my russian tort seems to be sleeping and eating alot..i read up on hibernation and it is fall here in indiana, is she going into hibernation? if so what should i do for her?

its getting really cold here and i cant keep her outside for very long.

ill have to find the box and take a picture for ya but yes it does both :)

i can expand her habitat, but as this is my first tort im still learning on what needs to be done to support her needs. i found a blue day bulb that doubles at both a UVB and heat bulb, and she gets fed twice a day, the only issue im having is trying to figure out how big her habitat needs to be...

indeed, i think im going to go with the kiddy pool idea, until spring comes back to indiana, and i can finish building her outside enclosure.

i will have to admit that this is my first tort, ive always wanted one, but i did do alot of research on the topic before getting venus, but im happy for all the help that i can get lol
