I’ve had my tort for 2.5ish years now and he is around 3/4. I have previously not burmated(?) them before as I am first time owner, so just ensured the temps all year round as didn’t want to risk him not waking. I will soon be moving and there is discussion over the cost of heating the table...

Hi new tortoise owner here. I’ve had my 4.5 inch female Russian tortoise, Sprinkles, since Friday. From what I’ve read they usually have a great appetite and she doesn’t seem to be eating a lot,she eats her greens but doesn’t touch her dried flowers or pellets. Ive only tried pellets a couple...

Hi everyone! I’ve had this succulent for a few months now- not sure exactly what kind but was wondering if my Russian tortoise could enjoy it.

Oogway soaking up the ☀️ today 💚 He’s adjusting great! No more issues & he desperately loves my son & will just sit & watch him 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m definitely not his favorite person though 😂💚

Hello, I’ve had my male Russian tort for a couple months. I’ve noticed his poop was runny before, it’s gotten better but still a very weird consistency. He’s normally active and with good appetite. The last couple days he’s been sleeping almost 24/7 besides getting up to eat a little. Today...

Hello I'm a new tortoise owner of about two months. Tort is around 1.5 years. I have temps (for both ends of table) and humidity correct, and on timers. food is a mix of fresh veg and weeds, dusted with calcium. Lights are producing enough UV. She is also bathed twice a week. I think Gertrude...

Hi everyone this is my tortoise Anastasia. Can anyone tell me what age she is? I’m guessing 6-ish? And is the white marks on her shell shell rot. I got her in may. she’s on a diet of kale and various vegetables if that helps.

They need a good variety calcium rich diet, I usually feed mine Monday through fri then I don’t feed them on the weekends. There enclosure needs to be 8x4 feet or larger per tort they can be housed outside...

Have a male russian tortoise in my creep with some red in his eye and was wondering what everyone thought. Just trimmed his beak with a dremel so some dust might have gotten in there and caused the nictitating membrane to inflame, or it might be a blood vessel popping.

Hi all, I have 2 ferns in pots but don't know if they are safe for my RT to eat. Pics included in post. Thanks!

I recently bought a tortoise from a breeder on the 8th of August. A five year old Russian tortoise. For the first few days he didn’t want to eat. I figured it was probably because the temperature in his enclosure wasn’t right or maybe because he was just getting used to his new environment. I...

Hello fellow tortoises! I have a 14 year old “daughter” Russian Tortoise, and I was wondering how much exercise she needs. Any ideas?

My 3 Month old Radiated Tortoise

I just brought a Russian tortoise home. It's only been a been day and a half, all he does is sit in the corner in his hide. But I know he needs time to adapt. He came up for a bit ate and went back. I do have a question about what exactly I should feed him and what brand of supplement I should...

HELP Oh boy. Okay, Ima lay it out for you. I live in Wisconsin and I'm 16 years old. My young sister got a russian tortoise about 5 years ago from a pet store, and just under to weeks ago she gave him to me. Very happy about that, because I could clearly see that he wasn't given a lot of...
