    TurtleStuff.com (AKA TurtleCafe.com) Customer Reviews

    First things first, here is my proof of purchase: SO, having placed the order on August 20th, and not actually RECIEVING my order until 3 days shy of a month, I'm sure you can understand the frustration. What made this particularly unsettling is that Turtlestuff.com would not respond to the...

    Question, help- pretty please~

    How durable do you think this cage is? http://www.bigappleherp.com/260-Gallon-Reptarium-Complete-Startup-Kit Would a sizable tortoise be able to push through it, do you think?

    Baaaaaaaaaad day for RES

    Holy crow. . . .its been a bad day in South Dakota for a lot of RES- on the road. I will admit though, I had to question the level of intelligence. . . .when placing torts off the road and into the ditch- SOME head back for the road *cmon' now!!*

    Zoomed (metal) clamp light fixture

    This is the only product thus far that I've been dissappointed with. I purchased it along with a 20" light fixture (a metal stand). The stand has a little hook on the end, which the light fixture rests on. The metal hook burned THROUGH the light fixture. Not only could this have started a...

    supplementing

    Just read on a website that supplements should not be used (calcuim, reptimin, D3, etc) on tortoises under 6 months of age. Is this true?

    Tasting? or biting?. . . .

    Well. . . .I'm not sure if he was simply seeing if my finger was a food item, or if he was unpolitely telling me that my presense was no longer needed- but Sonne attempted to bite/taste me. . . Has anyone here ever been bitten by a tortoise? What is the proper thing to do if they actually latch on?

    Carapace- hatchling question. . . .

    More than likely I'm just being anal retentive. . . .but this is bothering me. My leo hatchling is 3 months old- and its carapace from looking straight on- appears lopsided to one side. I'm not sure if this is normal or not. . .I keep trying to look up information via google, but feel like I'm...

    Handling- how often?

    Just curious as to how often you all handle your tortoises? Do you believe there are any legitimate negative consequences for handling? What do you feel the benefits are?

    Hatchling- gulping?

    Alright. . . .so Sonne arrived yesterday via UPS. He is quite small, in fact- I can see where his embilical (sp) attachment was. Yesterday after a warm soak he was pretty bright eyed. He ate good yesterday, but today has slowed down a bit in activity (still eating good, and drank some water...

    Beginner questions. . . .

    Bear with me please ;) Are radish leaves, red leaf lettuce, and cilantro safe for a leo tort? And should I be cutting all the various greens into tiny bite sized pieces? Also, should a baby torts shell be pefectly rounded? Or is lopsiding normal? thank you thank you :D Pete

    Question about bedding, mites possibly?

    I ordered Cypress bedding from turtlesupply.com and it arrived in a box. . . .I put it in Sonne's enclosure, where there are several forms of substrate (sand, sphagnum moss, fake grass) and upon moving around the cypress area (to situate my food dish) it looked as though the small chunks of wood...
