Hello all, I can't deny it, I am in love! :flrt: Herbert is a 23 month old Greek (Ibera I think) Spur Thighed Tortoise weighing in at 69g. He has an amazing personality, loving to be around people and having a cwtch (cuddle in welsh). As well as being my little champion he is also one...

Hey all, Herb is a 20 month old spur thighed, this is our first winter with him. He has a hot spot of 32c and cooling end of 20. He is eating and when out is active, we bathe him about 6/7 days a week, but when in his table he is sleeping all of the time at the moment. Is this just natural...

My 11 year old spur thighed tortoise is showing signs of having a bladder stone. I really don't want to take him to a vet for major surgery as recommended by lots of websites! Does anyone know if he's likely to pass it naturally or is that too much to hope for? I know that this has happened due...

Hi-help please. I have inherited a 51 year old spur thighed male tortie. He is doing really well except he has a solid ball of poo jammed behind each back leg that are stuck like concrete to his skin. The first time it happened I took him to the vet and he just flicked them off and said...

Hi due to no fault of its own my daughter has had to leave her lovely Spur Thighed Toirtoise with us to look after. We can only look after him on a temporary basis and so he is for sale. Herbert (not sure if its a male but my daughter says it is) is approx 12 months old and comes complete with...

Hi all, I have my tortoise (currently unnamed), and she has been basking, walking around and had a little nibble on some food. I have also given her a warm bath when I got her earlier today. She pooped on the way home and was eating when I went to chose her. My thing is i'm not sure if her...

Hello everyone. I am relatively new to owning a tortoise, and after fully researching, we now have two 14mth old Spur thighed tortoises purchased from a breeder. They are housed in a tortoise table which is 4ft long, 2ft wide, with a UVB strip light at one end, and also a 40w basking lamp...

Hi All.

My sister has Monty the marginated and we kept Sid as we fell in love with him. We actually are...

Hello everyone, I'm new to this so i hope i'm doing this right!:blush: My 57 year old family tortoise called Toddles has recently disappeared. He's a Mediterranean Spur Thighed and has been with us since my Dad bought him 56 years ago aged 4 (hence the dreadful name!). We suspect he has been...
