Thank you everyone for your comments. I ended up taking him to the vet and they saw his beak was a bit long and trimmed it. Apparently he had some food stunk under it, which was causing him some pain. He is now back to his old self. Apparently he was just hungry and couldn't tell me his...

Hi Everyone! I am fairly new, although I do troll and learn a lot from everyone :) I have a male Russian Tortoise that I have had for over 6 years. He is a healthy guy, gets lots of UV/Sun, has a varied diet and gets out of his enclosure to roam in his outside enclosure frequently (when the...

Hey Everyone, I have a sweet Russian Tortoise that can roam the house a few hours a day and I also have two messy parrots. I noticed that my Russian Tortie likes to hang out underneath the parrots playstands and eats a little bit of the fallen pellets every so often. Just to be clear....he...

I'm so sorry!

Thank you for posting this question. My russian is peeling like crazy right now. I have been bathing him daily and it seems to help a little bit. I got super worried. Based on the photos he is all good !!

Thank you for this. I was positive that kohlrabi was a NO on the list of approved foods. Lindsay

THANK YOU all so much. I am going to try all of these suggestions. I got the pellets at Petco. They have so many different kind. Mazuri is one brand he would NOT eat. WOW, he is really going to test my patience with this plan..lol. I am afraid that he is not getting all the nutrients he...

How can you get your tortoise to eat the pellets? I have tried and he wont eat anything. I have a RT and he will only eat kale and carrots. I just adopted him so I am working through his small "issues" :) Any help would be appreciated!!

Can a Russian Tortoise eat the leaves of a kohlrabi plant? I read somewhere that they cannot?? If they can then I am planting some....I just didnt want to hurt my little guy! Thanks!

Have you thought about adopting one of the kinds of tortoises that you choose? I just adopted a Russian Tortoise, and after a few months he has been such a joy and a pleasure to be around. I would also research a great exotic vet in your area. I made sure to get mine checked out, just to be...

Here is a cute photo of my yoga tortoise LOL

Thank you all so much for the warm welcome!! I have read some of the documents and I am really starting to learn a lot :)

OMGosh...too cute. My RT sleeps in weird positions too. When I first got him, I thought he had died the first night because he looked like it. We now laugh because it looks like he drank too much and passed out near a wall or some other structure. It's hilarious. Some days it does still...

WOW this is truly amazing!!
