Table for Russian Tortoise

Meet Toby! I am in love! ❤

Toby is so cute

 

[Sandee91]

Yes! He's absolutely perfect. Brave and just ideal for me! He's only been with us for around 5 hours and he is already happily eating away! I was panicking he was going to be stressed out and not eat for some time

He has so much growing to do! I hope he has a warm life under your heat lamps.

 

[Sandee91]

I'm sure he will thank you

Hi guys! So, Toby is doing great- eating, drinking and basking as he should. The only thing that troubles me is that I havent seen him poo or wee yet...? Should I be worried?

I don't think so. He might be peeing in his water too, so you won't notice.

I've had mine for a month now...and she's peeing, pooping and finally passing urates...but I am not finding poop or the urates daily.

Just keep an eye out - and on your black bedding it might be harder to find poop too. Make sure he's hydrated with the soaks/baths...

 

[Sandee91]

I soak him every morning for around 15-20 mins. He also has a bowl with water in his table, which he's not really interested in. I've had Toby for 3 days and I'm not sure when to start seriously worrying about it? I literally search his table for poop every now and again lol

 

[Rue]

I do daily (or more, depending on my schedule) poop checks as well...

Geez...kids!

Update: So Toby has finally passed poop (on me!) And urates (on my friend!) It was an interesting day yesterday lol
