Thanks Chris!

I'm unable to get anymore photos of the little guy yet. I was pretty sure he suffering from MBD which is the other reason I posted the photo for someone else to confirm this. My next question. Tortoises with mbd, how is it treated and managed? I've dealt with this a lot in various different...

Hi again everybody!! One of the girls who I work with has rescued a tortoise ... although she has the best of intentions, she's not brilliant when it comes to caring for things properly. (I'm still fighting a loosing battle with her to put a basking spot in with her bearded dragon but that's a...

Hi everyone. I've posted on here a few times about the two Leopards I've rescued. Both have obviously been started dry due to their size and the faint pyrmiding on their shells. From what I got told about the pair, I cam estimate that one is 12 months, and the other 13. Tetley, the smaller of...

So a quick update on little DG! She went on a hunger strike for days, hid away and refused to come out. Weeks later and you'd think she was a different tortoise. She's so active, her fatty lumps have almost disappeared. We're still having a few arguments with each other regarding diet. I didn't...

I've used it before on a guinea pig. I can't quite remember the problem, but it worked a treat :)

Here are my two! Soon to become a trio! Kenko (the darker of the pair) and Tetley (the "blonder" of the two)

This is her as we speak! Haha

I don't plan on continuing the diet she was on, as the rest of it, alongside the pinkies, isn't brilliant! She's been a little shy but tonight has been much more active. She likes playing hide and seek under her soil and whenever I look in she's in a different place! I've had a good look on...

I'll be quickly changing how much protein she's getting, oh, and she's home! :) http://www.tortoiseforum.org/index.php?threads/108971/

Oh and I had just woken her from her nap, she was still groggy when I took these photos! :)

Meet my newest arrival :). Currently being called "TBC" (Too be confirmed), she is around a year old so I'm told and weighs 180 grams. I've never kept red foots before so any pointers or general hints and tips wouldn't go a miss, oh and any name suggestions would be also appreciated! A quick...

What do you feed them for protein? I've read some people use pinks, some rehydrate a dry low fat high meat cat food, some use raw dog food. Just trying to work out what would be the best for her :)

Hi everyone! I've caught the tortoise bug and in a few days I'll hopefully be a new mum to a yearling red foot tortoise :) My main question is diet. What do you guys feed your red foots? I've read tonnes and tonnes online but it's always nice to hear from current, experienced red foot...

She's most certainly not being fed anymore spinach by me! She does love clover and dandelions, I was worried that I may have a problem getting her to eat but that doesn't seem to be the case so far :)

Thats reassuring to know! Thanks Phebe! What lovely little torts you've got! :<3::tort:

I should of really commented on the setup I've got her in now! :oops: She's now in a 6ftx2ft custom made enclosure, with an Arcadia D3 bulb and a ceramic heater. A 50/50 mix of top soil and play sand. The enclosure is fully planted, she constantly has access to fresh grass, weeds and we're...

This is amazing! :<3: What a beautiful tort!

Oops, copied the wrong link for the photos! Lets try again! Her first soak. Weight

Hi everyone! I'm a newbie to the forum and like I mentioned in my introduction post, I'm a proud owner of 2 beautiful Leopard torts! The second of which arrived last night. She's a rescue case, And I'm sure is going to present me with a whole world of problems! Tetleys story: She's been...
