So, recently my two year old Russian suffered an injury to his shell. Other than that he seems to be in good health, and I am now playing nurse! But obviously now I'm behaving like an overprotective mother, and worrying about everything. My little Bertie has never been a huge eater. He is fed...

Bertie is a little horsefield. He is roughly two years old. He was outside in his enclosure today and when I went outside to check on him he had escaped and must have had an accident. I'm 100% sure my other tortoise didn't do this, and my bunnies didn't do it either. I've uploaded a picture...

Hey :) I just thought I'd check in and get some opinions on my Sulcata Barnie. We adopted him age three (according to his previous owner) so that would make him around four now. We adopted him with significant pyramiding, poor thing! Basically, he lived in a small rabbit cage, filled with sand...

Hey everyone! I have a male sulcata who's just over four years old. We adopted him a year ago. He had pyramiding when we got him. I have improved his diet, humidity and temps so hopefully his new growth will be a little smoother as he gets older now! My issue is that he is SO dirty. He is an...

my year and a half year old horsefield is usually really active. Lately he's constantly sleeping, and not eating. He refuses to go under his lamp to warm up like he normally does, so I think it's pretty safe to say he's getting ready to hibernate. My only issue is that the breeder I got him from...

Barnie, my sulcata. Does everything look ok?

Hi, Just a quick one. My sully is coming up to four years old now. I just soaked him, and he was charging round and splashing about. I just took a quick look at his rear end, and I'm not one hundred per cent sure, but I think he might have flashed! What I want to know is, when they do flash, is...

Ok, I know there must be numerous threads asking the same question, but I just want to make sure I get the right specific advice for my tort! Barnie is a three and a half year old sully, and I want to make him a new indoor enclosure which is bigger, and with more plants and rocks to entertain...

Just a quick one really. After adopting a three and a half year old sulcata named Barnie a few months ago, I noticed he was pyramiding and he was very quiet (but healthy apart from that). Since acting on a load of advice from the tortoise forum, Barnie has really perked up! He's a lot more...

I have a roughly one year old horsefield called Bertie (the breeder old me he was a boy because he holds his tail to the side when he walks where's females don't?) I was just wondering at what rate horsefield grow. I know they don't grow very large, but I haven't seen a change in his size. He's...

Hello there! We adopted this fellow about two months ago. His name is Barnie. His previous owner no longer wanted him. He told us that he was a male and aged 3 and a half. Since getting him I've started him on the correct diet with calcium and UV (based on his shape I'm assuming his previous...

Hi, I have a 3-4 year old sulcata named Barnie. We adopted him from his previous owner who no longer wanted him - he's now very loved and very spoilt! His previous owner told us he was a boy, although I don't know how he was so sure (he wasn't an expert). I know he's still pretty young, but he's...
