RE: SEX MY 5 WEEK OLD GREEK FOR ME DANNY!!! Looks like a male to me. How old is it?

I am curious how they are doing now.

I am curious if my Greek tortoise will be puppy-like or a very cool guy. He hides in his pots maybe 22 hours a day. But he is just so young, and recovering from some health problems, so I try not to shake him up except for meals and outside time. He now trusts me, eats from my hand, sometimes...

What is the optimal humidity for a 4 month old Greek tortoise? Many people stress the importance of not getting too dry, but is it like the damper the better? My tortoise is shedding skin. Relatively large pieces from the skin close to the shell. The new skin under it is lighter in color. I...

I am so confused. In the wild, during the night, the air gets cooler than the ground (because of its greater heat capacity). The heat actually comes from underneath. I think using a heat mat in the night makes a lot sense than using a heat source hanging from above.

Came back from Vet's office. She said it is normal that 4 month old tortoise is not as firm as adults. She said the noise he made when breathing is not sneezing, it is only the sound of head movement. She also said his breath rate is fast so she prescribed 14 day's doxycycline for that. She...

Don't place mercury around animals.

Thanks for your reply. He doesn't bask. He eats when I wake him up and as soon as finishes eating, he buries himself in the substrate and spend the rest of the day just sleeping until I wake him up again for dinner. I don't know if this is his personality or his young age or stress of re-homing...

Haha, they don't know each other's existence. My rats are vegetarians, I don't feed them animal products.

I am also sometimes confused when people talking about tortoise diet. "Romaine really isn't ideal. I recommend a fresh diet of weeds and greens." But, isn't Romaine one of greens? I am very cautious of feeding dandelions, because here in the America, people hate dandelions. They use all...

My first tortoise is a 4 month old Greek. I just found out, the top of the shell is a little soft, and the color is a little lighter than the rest part. I did not notice until I pressed the shell a little harder with finger nail. It's like wood, not stone hard, you feel you could make a mark on...

This is my first tortoise. It's a 4 month Greek

Hi, everyone, I am living in North Carolina. I have 0,0,1. It's a 4 month Greek (normal color). This is my first tortoise. I am a bit nervous about this baby, I hope he will be happy with me. I have learned about how to keep a tortoise as pet for about 2 months before I finally made a...

Thank you all for so many quick responses. I am now a bit relieved. I do occasionally hear a sound when he breaths, especially after eating. But not sure if it's from the nose or the beak. I suspect it's rubbing beak. In the night, I use the dimmer to turn the CHE down at low level. Now I...

I posted a couple days ago about my 4 months old Greek tortoise. Here I added pictures so please point out what exactly I can do. It arrived by mail-order on this Tuesday morning. The first I noticed is that it constantly moves its head and forearms back and forth. This is my first pet...

Thanks very much for your quick reply. I will upload pictures soon.

I just received my first tortoise – a 4 month old Greek tortoise – yesterday. So it’s been with me for 24 hours now. It hasn’t eaten anything. It doesn’t show the least interest in the food I provided. It hides in the substrate all the time. It’s not...
