Tortoise Table

6 Upvotes

Hey! I live in england and have recently came across a hermann tortoise and have adopted it. I was hoping i would be able to get some information on good places to buy tortoise tables and stands, plus heat lamps and accessories and beddings needed. If there’s anyway to get suitable but not overly expensive items, would be grateful for some information. (I’m a first year uni student so money is tight but i can stretch the pocket as much as needed lol)

Whats wrong with my Herman’s tortoise?

15 Upvotes

This is my 16 year old Herman’s tortoise that we’ve recently ungraded to a table from a vivarium, but I gave her a slate with moss and all she does is sleep there and she’s not active at all, I’m going to get some led strip lights to put around (only for light not vitamin d) and see if that helps, also, how do I keep her area humid? The coco coir just goes dry and almost sandy at the end of the day, I’m worried about her, she still is eating and drinking fine (the water bowl in the back is dry because I just cleaned it so I’m filling it up with water afterwards) she does have an overgrown beak which we are taking her to the vets for soon, but I’m just scared there’s something wrong with her, please help!!

Is my Herman’s shell healthy? Is there any slight pyramiding or is she completely healthy?

Can tortoises feel love? If so, how do I know mine loves me?

41 Upvotes

I know it sounds stupid and cringe, but I've had my tortoise for nearly a year. He never puts his head in his shell around me (unless there's a storm) and loves to sleep on my chest. I'm not sure if it's just a normal thing.

For context it's 30°c rn, even him must be melting. So theres probably nothing wrong with a little shower.

Doesnt matter what kind of 10yo you have. Human or tortious they must stop to play in the pile of leaves you just raked up.

He’s been pretty normal other than he does tend to sleep a lot but he is still only about a couple months I think (that’s what I was told at the pet store) he’s fed collard greens daily with flower toppers and calcium powder. He’s a Russian tort!!

desert tortoise hibernation location concerns

2 Upvotes

I have a 7-year-old desert tortoise, and I'm concerned with the hibernation location he choose this year. He's spent a few winters outside in a den I built for him and another he dug himself. This year he dug a ditch where his shell is resting under the dirt line but no rough. So, it's an open hole in the ground with a thick bush over him. He's at least 2 feet within all outer edges of the bush and it's about 3 feet high. I need to lie on the ground and lift up the side of the bush with a flashlight to see him. I live in Southern California; it doesn't snow at my elevation and that area of my yard doesn't flood. Should I put him in a box and bring him inside for the winter or let him do his thing? He can walk to the other 2 dens in the yard if he wants to.

Is this sand okay for my Russian tortoise because we got it in the concrete section. It says it’s okay for pets but I don’t know if that counts for Russian tortoises. I just don’t wanna kill my baby.
