I am leaving tomorrow for a 29 hour drive. My tortoise will be with me (about a year old, small, greek). What is the best way to transport him with me in my vehicle and where can I find something to generate heat, like a heat pack, etc? I can't order it online because I waited till the last...
My ibera greek is almost 1 year old. Now that the weather is very warm, I have placed her bin (she is always in) outside to get some natural sun on a high porch with an enclosed screen so animals cannot get to her. She has two hideaways. She never hides in her log when indoors (she does in her...
Lately, my tortoise has been eating the calcium/vit D Fluker's powder off his food and bowl. He is still eating normally and I mix his diet with spring mix, dandelions, mazzuri, etc. but he seems too attracted to the powder. I have been taking him out on warm days for some extra sunshine and his...
I purchased my ibera greek about a month ago from a supplier. My current tort is healthy and active and almost 1 year old. The supplier has some tortoises from the same batch as mine (same size) as well and I am considering purchasing another one while they are still both small (about 2.25...

I never really properly introduced myself...name is Cayla from NJ. I came to the board under some sad circumstances with the passing of my last baby, but happy to introduce the newest Greek member, "baby Apollo born in July 2010". (maybe you all can suggest some better names!)
Here he/she is...
Hi everyone, I posted earlier on how my baby hermanns passed away. We decided to obtain another baby tortoise, but this time are doing things differently. I am paranoid, that I just want to do everything right.
Here is what I have so far...I am reading so much conflicting info on the Greeks...
Hi everyone, after much thought, we have decided to obtain a russian tortoise baby. Right now, we plan on using a large rubbermaid container and gradually increasing the size as he/she gets bigger.
What type of screen should I be purchasing to put on top? There are cats in our household and I...
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I purchased a baby tortoise approx. a month and a half ago. I owned a happy sulcata with no problem for years (who remains in Texas healthy), but this time purchased a Hermanns baby when I moved to NJ.
A few days ago, upon taking her to the vet, they...
