my plan is to insulate as well. I thought about putting sheet metal across the bottom to prevent them from tearing it up as much never thought about pressure washing it out that's a great idea

ok thanks guys. Just trying to head off any possible problems that I may not be thinking of.

I have a rather unique situation. I am wanting to use a 6 by 12 outbuilding for my tortoises. Wanting to have a fenced in enclosure around it. My question is the building used to be used to raise chickens in. So the floor is covered with dirt and chicken poop and everything else that goes along...

I would like to personally thank everybody for their information and help on our sick little rescue.we have done vitamin shots antibiotics and dewormers. she was in an enclosure that stayed at an 80 percent humidity coolest and of the enclosure was 80 degrees hot and was a hundred. she got to...

I would be willing to take him. My family loves tortoises. right now we have 3 of our own and live on 2 1/2 acres. We are actually starting a tortoise rescue.

I am wrong person to ask on that. Hopefully somebody else sees your post and replies. it may also be one of these plans that goes by a different name as well

another update. She's doing much better! got ointment for her eyes. had a vet tell me to increase greens with vitamin A. He has seen that tortoises that do not want to open their eyes very much have a vitamin A deficiency. Eating enough that we were able to get a fecal. Amazing how you can get...

I have to share! Took her to the vet today. She got a vitamin b shot to hopefully stimulate appetite. I cranked to heat up again to about 100 in the basking area. She's eating!!! Long way to go. But a big step in the right direction! Thanks so much to everyone here. She is making g progress...

out of curiosity how do I go about testing for a bacterial infection on a tortoise when we don't have a fecal to test

thanks again to all my new friends here on this site. I can't thank you enough for all the help you have given me. I feel like a constant nuisance asking all these questions but I'm determined to do what it takes to get this little one better. so with that said here is an update yesterday...

one of the first things I did was talk with the person I had gotten her from to address that. And she said leafy greens is what she fed it. and strawberries. I'm sure I can get her to eat a strawberry but I want to stay away from that if I possibly can. thinking about going to the store and...

okay I will do that. I do not have any Mazuri right now unfortunately live in a bad area for finding reptile supplies I have to order almost everything with that said I do have some on order. When it comes in should I give it to her hard or is it better to soak it.

unfortunately she is not doing any better today. Have not been able to get her to eat anything at all. I need your help guys. What can I do to get this little one to eat?at this point I have tried hey that I have soaked in warm water,collard greens, canned pumpkin, fresh baby spring greens,and...

I've got a pretty good sense of humor unfortunately that's the only since I have lol

I need to watch how my voice recognition interpret what I say lol. I acquired two tortoises from someone who was not knowledgeable about the animal. I have them BOTH on moist peat moss

I live in indiana and I to recently to go on these 2 from someone who is not knowledgeable about how to take care of them. They are in separate enclosures now. The larger 1 seems to be doing fine I have them balls on a bed of moist peat moss.do not have UVB bulbs yet but they have been ordered...

thanks for the input on that thermometer. I wanted to get a digital 1 but we not have any descent pet stores in our area and I have one on order. I figured that would help me at least ballpark it tell the other came in.

that is what I have been wondering myself. Another thing that is come to mind after reading almost every post on this site lol. is I wonder if the move from the other location to my home and a new enclosure where I am able to increase the humidity has stressed her out a lot.
