    Nursing my dying tortoise back to health - what should I do?

    If you are sincere that you fear for her life, then you must do what anyone would do if they feared for the life of any living being. You must get her to a proper doctor. If anyone was feared dying they would receive immediate medical intervention.

    Anybody Want A Softshell?

    Anybody Want A Softshell?

    We have a pond. 2000 gallons. Two koi, numerous goldfish and mosquito fish. But can the softshell live in our pond in the winter here in Temecula? Also I have a feeling you don’t ship do you Yvonne? Anyway I’ll do some research on the fella just because now I’m curious.

    Photos of Our Outdoor Russian Tortoise Enclosure and Garden

    More trees!!! A neighborhood with trees is more comfortable because of the shade and the exhalations of the trees. I think the term is transpiration. Not to mention the beauty they provide. Steve’s garden looks very inviting.

    Introducing Diego!

    Well that was a very entertaining tortoise story to enjoy with my morning coffee. If you share photos of your enclosure in the enclosure section it can be examined and experienced keepers will provide ideas on how to make it escape proof. Diego’s shell appears normal to me. Welcome to this forum.

It has since healed. When is your vet appointment? I also live in so California. Who is your vet? Are you...

    Squirtle, has been called a Boy for nearly 5 years. .

    I am not an expert but I think because the cloaca is near the tip of the tail that would indicate male. Your Squirtle has a very pretty shell.
