Cover your enclosure with wirings. I had this problem too, I covered her box with some covers and she never bothered again.

On avarage 25 degrees C (77 degrees F), coldest on record ? 18 C (64 F). I know this is nothing compared to being in the States

Ah, Vietnam. We're in monsoon season :P

She doesn't feel like eating today, prolly due to the cold mornings we have lately.

Yea, she's a little cutie isn't she :D I live in Asia. Usually it's warm/hot here, temperature at night usually reach 25 C (77 F) in this kind of season, 32 C in mid day (89.6 F), although for most day we'd get pouring rain, she loves it, she'd walk around and look for food whenever it's...

Here's a pic of her enclosure, she's an Elongated, she does have a pond for water in her enclosure (Not shown in pic). Thing is, I don't know if anything might grow in the enclosure. Much of the dirt has been used by the tree roots (So far she doesn't eat any of the leaves). I never tried to...

I'll have a vacation next week. I'd be gone for 7 days, I'm a bit worried about my tortoise. His enclosure is outdoor, but I'm the one who brings him food. Is any kind of staple that lasts long for a whole week for tortoises ? I have my father, but sometimes he forgets. I don't want to be a...

Here's my Enlongated tortoise shell, I've had her since October. Recently I've noticed her growth marks feels a bit narrow. Is this signs of early pyramiding ? What should I do ? Her main diet consists of elephant ear plant trunk (She seems to grow tired of them recently), lettuce, cucumber...

Simple enough... But i really don't know what kinds of food my Elongated is willing to eat. I want to grow some plants and flowers in her enclosure, so she might interact more. and maybe she have some food to eat when I'm not around.

I can't remove the screws from the wood, the only option now is to cover them with bricks and dirt (Which i just did). The substrate is temporary, so I should change it net week.

I moisten the substrate about 3 to 4 times a week (They evaporate so quickly !). The light that she's having is a uvb bulb (No heating lights yet). I do have some thoughts about raising temperature, maybe a combination of a heating bulb for heat and a plastic wrap to trap the moist air in. I...

Here's my elongated home... what do you guys think ?

She'd get a spray every 3 to 4 times a week. She is a wild caught tortoise and haven't had her fecal checked yet. The inconvenience is that reptile vets here close to non existed, so i can't get her a check up.

Thanks for the reply ! Now I don't have a thermometer to have an exact measure, but her entire enclosure is about 29 degree C or 85 F in midday. I think that her basking spot is not warm enough, so that might be the cause for her wheezing. I can't buy a heating lamp yet, since every pet shop...

This is the first time I own a pet tortoise and she's been with me for 5 months now. This lately, she's been making some worrying wheezing noise. She's still eating properly, but not very active like the first time i brought her home. There's no mucus on her nose, she doesn't breath through her...
