when my little Babydoll was sick, Reptaid and pedialyte (Half water, half unflavored pedialyte) helped bring her back. Lots of prayer as well. a normal.heating pad against her house keeps her warm.
Chalk?? The kind you write on a blackboard with? Not cuttle bone, maybe?
Ok, so how do I fix my babies swollen eyelids? I bought him vitamins yesterday and got his cuttle bone locally because the one I ordered online was taking way too long!!
Here is actually the updated care sheet for all temperate species, including DT’s. I think I posted this in the other thread that was linked by Srmcclure:I think I read here that Coco is a desert tortoise so this willl help.

Yes I been reading through it!Here is actually the updated care sheet for all temperate species, including DT’s. I think I posted this in the other thread that was linked by Srmcclure:
The Best Way To Raise Any Temperate Species Of Tortoise
I chose the title of this care sheet very carefully. Are there other ways to raise babies and care for adults? Yes. Yes there are, but those ways are not as good. What follows is the BEST way, according to 30 years of research and experimentation with hundreds of babies of many species. What is...
Has anybody encountered a red noise ever??
STOP believing anything, I mean ANYTHING you read about tortoises anywhere but here. Got it? You give him WATER for WATER intake. Read that care sheet put out by TFO, memorize the damn thing because you are now the care taker for an living being who is an endangered species. I'd about sell my soul for one. It is no joke. You have a very large very serious responsibility now. So stop listening to "someone", read the care sheet get the lights heat etc, study his food requirements.
I’m just being cautious!! I am only giving him what was advised for him! I have his vitamins which I have been giving since I got them yesterday! He’s been sleeping since I first got him! Today he’s seems to be more active and expiring hIs enclosure and substrate! Still have caught him with wanting to eat or curious of his substrate!
I know you are just trying to do good. But if you are stressed, that will stress him as well.
Let me also say this, I was given this guy by someone who had him in sand..and no lights or anything! I’m correcting his mistakes done! Before I could really do much of the research before hand..I already had him with me! So if I come out freaking out...bare with me because I am only wanting him to be well, and making sure what I do doesn’t make him worse!
This is months of correcting what was supposed to be done since day one!!
You are too neurotic to treat him badly. (joke) I am mostly trying to calm you down, and still have you enjoy him. I have followed every freakin post you have made. I understand. I am a gramma used to being kind of stern with my grandkids, and I simply put you in that category. I'm sorry, I am not arguing with you, or trying to cause you more stress. Don't freak out, I'm just trying to help you...
I’m better today..honestly!
Fantastic, his basking area “aka flat rock” shoes perfect temperature and humidity!! ?
Haha ok thanks
Those nips look nice!? don't get those in the UK!
