putting a few drops of lemon juice into the bath water helps to clear up 'runny nose' sickness as well

This is for anyone who is not quite sure on each step you will need to take when your tortoise needs to be in quarantine! I.E. If they have Runny Nose Syndrome !.


1) Take tortoise away from any other torts and keep in a table on its own, if in the house I would also say to keep in a different room to the other torts as well so they are not sharing the same air supply.
2) If outdoor enclosure, when stepping into one that has a contagious tortoise clean shoes with disinfectant
And try to leave them to last to help with this process.
3) Always wash hands with anti-bacterial soap or sanitizer every time!! you handle the tort! Or you could use disposable gloves, every time you handle the tort.
4) If you think any bodily fluids of any kind has got on your cloths , change them before going near any other tort or pet!
5) Sterilise there water pot every day and slate that you feed them on, using boiling water or a tortoise safe disinfectant!
6) When tort is better, thoroughly sterilise there indoor and outdoor enclosure and put fresh substrate in and fresh bedding, you wouldn’t want to re catch the illness through a dirty home!.
