Hello everyone, my red foot is about 9 inches and I moved him to live outdoors this year for the first time. He lived indoors with me ever since he was a hatchling and he's my first and only tortoise. I'm in Virginia and the temperatures for the next few days are dropping quite a bit and it's...

Hi, so I was just sitting there admiring my red foot tortoise and I saw that my cuttlebone turned yellow and just assumed it was pee (and it probably is) but then I spot this super tiny little bug crawl out from it and my instincts told me to kill it so I did. It was like a caramel colored bug...

I bought new substrate called coconut fiber and mixed it with this other mulch thing that I can't remember it's name (threw bag away already) and it seems to stick on his feet. The problem with that is when he would go in his water and get out he would also go into his food and he would get...

Okay well my redfoot's heat bulb just went out since it's time to get a new one but I haven't got time to go get one yet and it went out on Friday. Do you think he's fine with it? The room I have him in has a heater that's on about 90% of the time so is it probably warm enough for him to still...

Okay so I upgraded my tort to a bigger house but ever since that he's been coming out of his hide but he goes out half way. He would stare at his food bowl for hours and hours and hours and would sometimes eat it and sometimes just walk back in. I'm a little worried what should I do? The...
