I removed the Nandina from Dozers pen. He loved to hide under it, but I was not sure it was safe. I cannot find it on the turtle table database, nor nothing mentioned in a search here. Does anybody know if nandina domestica is safe? He has a large outdoor enclosure I would love to put some...

Dozer is 4 and 18.5 lbs. He had been outside for over a year now. We just built a new bigger house. Insulated walls, radiant heater, smoke detector (just in case) back up CHE's. Heater is on a digital thermostat set at 70 degrees now that the weather is cooling down. It's working great. We...

Dozer is 3 years old and 10 lbs. Yesterday I notices these faded areas on his shell. I touched it with my nail and it scratched easily. Fungus? If so, which antifungal is advised?

I have two sulcatas the same age, 11 months old. They are both doing great, but one has scrapes on his/her neck. This particular tortoise's gular goes up where the other one sticks out straight. I am wondering if the neck fold is infected, or just swollen? It is big, and as I mentioned has...

Dozer was out sunning and nibbling on grasses. I caught her tasting this and didn't know if it was safe, so I did a search to find out what it was, then checked it with the Tortoise Table website. This is what she ate!!! http://www.itsnature.org/plant_life/vegetation-plants/spurge/ And it...

Good Morning. I thought I would start a thread for Dozer, much like the ones for Sully and Bowser. We purchased Dozer on 7/3, on a whim. I thought it would be easy.... I set up a 20 gal tank with Timothy hay, a heat lamp, screen top, flagstone for basking and a saucer for water. 7/4, I...

Hello. My name is Chantel, and we just purchased a hatchling Sulcata Tortoise. The idea seemed easy and great at first glance. Just throw a heat lamp over a tank filled with hay. So I did, then I picked up our baby tortoise. Then I found this site. All this happened just yesterday. So I...
