Oh I see. This is what the Vet did though?

Well, here's the freshly clipped Puck

Thank you both and Hi *\:)

He says thank you :)

He's like a spider on a hot plate - his legs and head never stop moving lol Yes I will. Just on the phone to the vets now to ask them to add on the nail clipping :) Really appreciate all this help guys x

Oh ok thanks. I'll leave that to someone else to do, I hate cutting animals nails and he's not the most cooperative of torts haha I've got him booked into the vets for Tuesday morning so I will see if they can add on a nail clipping as well as beak filing - thanks for all the help :)

Thanks. I thought it was overgrown. We'll get him booked into the vets next week when we're off for a file :) He already has slate that he eats from but I'll try the cuttle bone

I will try and grab one later. I did have one on my phone but can't find it. Will keep digging

Thanks Gillian. In all honesty, he's never actually managed to bite me but he likes to attempt to through the glass. If you hold your finger there he will go mad trying to get at you. Silly little thing he is lol

Cheers buddy :) x

ahh ok :) just thought he really didn't like us pmsl

This is a good site with info about yacht varnishing melamine vivs: http://www.theroyalpython.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5330

Hey I would suggest using a yacht varnish to make it water proof or some kind of pond liner (that's what we use). Melamine, however is quite good with regards to humidity, and as it is royals you are keeping there is not much humidity needed at all. In fact, my two royals I keep pretty much...

He's a little beggar for it! But my niece and nephews find it hilarious!

Is it also normal for a tort to try and bite you? lol as in, if you leave any appendage, finger or toe, in front of Puck, he'll happily try to bite it off for you lol

Wow ok - you learn something new every day - I just thought he was a very miffed off tortoise (he's always done it, even when we're holding him and he's aware we're there). Ok - I'll have a look for some cypress bark to put on top. Thanks

He just seems more grumpy than usual, if that's possible for a Russian tort? He's miserable and hissy at the best of times but he seems really annoyed at the change. I can't explain it but you know when you know how your animal appears to be feeling lol if that makes sense? He has his dinner...

That's why I changed to eco earth because of the advice on here but he's really not happy. I know how he usually is and he seems really peed off at having this damp substrate now. I don't mind about keeping his enclosure clean in the sense that the substrate is loose. He's just not happy with...

Sooooo I've tried the Eco Earth and I now have one fed up tortoise - he hates it! I've pressed it down firmly but it keeps coming loose and getting into his water bowl and his food. He really doesn't seem to be happy with the new substrate so I'm going to change back to the pellet substrate he...
