Hiya all, My adult female “Golden” Greek had worms (I saw roundworms and fecal at the vet showed rounds, I think hooks, and giardia). Vet prescribed panacur - granules, 4 doses to be given 2 weeks apart. She’s due for dose number 3 this weekend. Before dewormer, she weighed 890 grams, now she’s...

I need advice on whether and when to take her to the vet. She just this morning blew one snot bubble when I walked in to feed her. She has a water saucer and access to some chopped hay mixed with dried herbs, so I don’t think she had eaten or been in her water before I went in but I can’t be...

Ugh, I'm going crazy. I have a Greek (newly rescued) in an indoor tort table - nearly 3'x6' (with a new larger table when I can find something bigger to repurpose or find the supplies to build). She'll likely spend several of our wet/cold/rainy months inside every winter and even a good portion...

Mesopotamian? She's at least 3 or 4, old enough to have laid eggs at least once. 840 grams and 16.2 straight carapace length. If anyone has ideas as to what's going on with her eyes, I'd love to hear them! Here is a link to the health thread I posted...

Hello! This is Penelope, our new "Golden Greek" - I'm going to post her pic in the Greek threads too, to see if I can find out what subspecies she might actually be. I suspect she's a Mesopotamian Greek... Anyway! Age is uncertain, but she's old enough to have laid eggs at least once. We're at...

(I'll apologize ahead of time - for some reason I can't see many of the pics in the thread with pics of toxic and edible things... I get some kind of photo bucket error message. I'm on my phone at the moment - I'll try later on the desktop.) Anyway! I've been tromping around my yard looking for...

Hiya all! We live in Western Washington and I first joined a couple of years ago when we got our hatchling Dalmatian tortoise - we loved him so much! Sadly, he passed away suddenly earlier this year. We were heartbroken. Just recently, we had been thinking about adding another tort to the...

...a hatchling Dalmatian who is arriving tomorrow! I'm about to freak out with the waaaaaiting..... I've done my diligent research and listened to (and bugged the crap out of!) the breeder and this is what we have: Please let me know if you have any suggestions! It's a 50gallon Rubbermaid...

I have been reading and reading and just can't decide... I've narrowed our first tortoise choice down to a Hermann's or a Greek. Seems to me like there are a lot of similarities in personality and overall care and general health/hardiness. Just wondering if anyone has any insight that might...

I'm new but have been avidly reading for a few weeks - our family is about to acquire our first tortoise (many questions in the appropriate places are to follow). We're getting a tort "for our son" for Christmas, but the reality is my husband and I are probably more excited than my son will be...
