Is anyone willing to help me get some knowledge into my head about tortoises and turtles? I know a lot about them but not enough.
You're most welcome to our forums. Tortoises are an addicting avocation. I hope that this forum will help you select the best pet for you. You'll learn how to best care for your tortoise here as well. Welcome!Is anyone willing to help me get some knowledge into my head about tortoises and turtles? I know a lot about them but not enough.
Thank you sirYou're most welcome to our forums. Tortoises are an addicting avocation. I hope that this forum will help you select the best pet for you. You'll learn how to best care for your tortoise here as well. Welcome!
Thank youGo to the forum for each species and you will find pinned threads detailing care for that species. They're written by species experts working hard to correct the outdated information widely available on the internet and from pet stores and, sadly, from some breeders and vets too.
Start by reading the beginner mistakes thread
https://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/beginner-mistakes.45180/
Then find the care sheet for the species you are interested in. Care of each species differs so it is important to rad the one that is relevant to you.
