I believe it's ragweed, I've always called it Ragweed, and I'm already having an allergy attack from taking a picture.
I looked up Ragweed on Tortoise Table, and I'm now a bit paranoid that it might be Ragwort.
This is also in Arizona
First if all, sorry if I'm confusing. I know I usually can't put my thoughts into words and have it make sense, but I'm also super frazzled today.
I would like some tips on how to get plants to grow in a tort cage. My bulldozer just tramples everything, and plants are never able to get past the...
I know you guys are probably going to say no, but I wanted to be sure. Can my tortoise eat food that has been sprayed with this then rinsed off? It says it is a plant based formula that is safe for dogs and cats.
The active ingredients
Peppermint Oil 0.60%
Eugenol 1.40%
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate...
I just want to know what you guys think of pretty pellets. My tort goes crazy for these pellets, and I've never let been able to get him to eat mazuri or zoo med pellets regularly. He will only eat mazuri if I'm holding it, and he refuses to eat Zoo Med mix unless I trick him (putting pretty...
Today, we had our house reshingled (or whatever you call it). They barely looked in my tort cage for nails and such, and I ended dragging a small magnet through all of his topsoil to get them. This took about an hour or so. I'm worried that I left some behind, and he will step on one. I haven't...
Within the past 2 months 2 ticks have been spotted. Ticks are not a common sight here. We are in the process of building an outdoor cage for my tort, and I was wondering if I have to worry about them bugging him. I'm not a tick expert so I can't be sure, bit at least one of them looked like a...
I bought a black racer nerite a week or so ago and I don't think he's eating. He tries to eat the "algae" on the glass, but it's new tank so there is nothing there. I got him to clean up my fry tank, but of course he wasn't my 1st choice because of the lack of algae. I've given him 2 different...
I have some fish that have been terrorizing my other fish, mostly guppies, we removed them, but not before they killed 1 guppy and hurt another. The guppy was bit right before the tail fin starts. I know guppies grow back their tail fin, but what about the tail that isn't fin (sorry, I'm bad at...
The neon tetra was bit a little over a week ago, and I'm wondering if I should end it's suffering or if you guys think it's going to make it.
The first day I noticed that it was bit, it was having issues staying "flat" it acted like it had air in it's head. The second day it was the tail that...
He used to eat the grass pellets from zoo med (soaked, of course) and now he refuses to eat them. I tried the mazuri pellets (I don't know if they are different or not, but people recommend that) but he still won't eat it. I hid some in his apple (I am trying to change his diet, if you can't...
My tort goes crazy for the yellow dandelions. He used to get them all the time when I came home from school. Unfortunately I can't pick them anymore (Different school, and I don't go outside to the grassy areas as often) I want to know if anyone knows where to find them. Preferably not dried, he...
I brought my Tort to get a checkup and check his eye, and the vet noticed that his carapace might have more give than normal. He is going to call a specialist, but I just wanted your guys' opinions.
The vet isn't sure if it's just because my Tort's age (5) or if it's something else.
Probably something that is stupidly easy to fix. My tort has had a tiny dirt clump on the edge of his eyelid. I've tried blowing it off (away from his eye) but it stuck. I would try to pour water on it, but like I said, it's at the edge and if he closes his eye it will just stick. He doesn't...
My mom found this stuff, and I'm guessing she wants to have it for my Sulcata (it was next to his cage) and I'm wondering if he can even eat it. It has bits that I can only describe as whiter pops cereal. If you see any ingredients that he can't eat, can you tell me so I can try to pick it out...
I'm just curious if it's possible to delete single posts or pictures. I have a tendency to post before I think, so I just want to cover some of my tracks
I am planning on building an outdoor enclosure for my Sulcata, and I'm going to need some help and patience.
My tortoise is 5 years, about 1 foot 7 inches by 11 inches.
First of all would a 9'10'' by 8' be big enough? I could add more room on the 9' side, but the 8' side I won't be able to get...
Tort's enclosure has been the home of MANY fruit flies. About a month or two ago if found where they were nesting and I soaked every rock/toy and even his calcium block for a couple of days, then I left them out to dry for even more days. I also changed his bedding. I haven't seen any fruit...
Tort's enclosure is unfortuantly away from sunlight so I want to bring him outside, but unfourtanatly it seems like there is a lot of red ants around the edge of the concrete. I also have a pool, so he doesn't have much room to roam around if I keep him from the ants. I do keep watch of him...
Yesterday, I noticed there was a guppy with it's bottom tail cut. It was swimming on his side and on the top of the tank, but still swimming. Today, I noticed that he was being thrown around by the current (which was not happening yesterday) so I put him in a small cup to hopefully calm him...
