    Do they bite? And im in UK, are they expensive?

    • @TheGreatPetShop
      @TheGreatPetShop 2 місяці тому

      I've only been bitten once and it was because I was wearing yellow nail polish (must have confused for fruit) and it didn't hurt at all. They are usually very peaceful. If they do get angry, they will puff up and whip you with their tail. Overall, none of their defence mechanisms would cause serious damage to us. In terms of pricing, from what i've seen on the internet, they cane be quite expensive (depending on the species).

      When they are still babies, you should bathe everyday. When they get older you should provide a shallow dish with water for them to soak whenever they please. If they don't soak on their own, you can bathe them 2-3 times per week.

    Thank you so much. This is so helpful. Currently my sulcata isn't eating and almost always sleeping. There were weeks that I was not able to bring him/her outside for sunlight and that's when he/ she became "lazy". But I'm worried because the shell seemed to have softened and there's a black "patch" in its chest. 😢 Now, I always put him/her outside for a walk and a little sunshine and then soak in water for few minutes. Hope he gets better after few days.

    So I got a herman tortoise December 20th it’s now January 16th almost a month. He is a very active tortoise. I take him out of his enclosure and let him roam on the floor he loves to do that. I feed him romaine lettuce everyday. He has a UVB and a heat lamp but even though I give him lettuce everyday he doesn’t want to eat it everyday. I’ve soaked him everyday and he barely poops. I clean out his substrate by sifting through it and I keep his enclosure clean and tidy. Am I doing something wrong? Herman has me very concerned. He does eat a lot when he is ready to eat but he doesn’t poop a lot. Am I dealing with blockage? Is there anything I can do to help him.

    • @philipposmantas5143
      @philipposmantas5143 3 місяці тому

      No lettuce! This is not diet! They need weeds and flowers! They can't have poop with lettuce! Try to feed it: mallow,hibiscus,dandelions,opuntia cactus,aloe vera,petunia mexican petunia,radishes,radicchio,lamp lettuce!

    • @TheGreatPetShop
      @TheGreatPetShop 2 місяці тому

      You should try to offer other foods and a more varied diet. Lettuce, although great for hydration, has very little nutrients. Here's a video on tortoise diet where I break everything down: ua-cam.com/video/kKax0xtF_E4/v-deo.htmlsi=1p6W1PUoYwIhM_4Y

    She's beautiful !!!❤❤ I have videos from other people that own tortoises, and I'm noticing that like us humans, they have their own unique personalities and their shells and faces are distinct. I guess that's why they're so loved and adored !!❤❤🤗🥰 I wish I could get one but I'm on a fixed income and I'm up in age. I'm well aware that it could out-live me and If something happened to me, I'd be worried about who would take care of it and give it the love that it deserves, so I'll love them vicariously through owners like you !!! 🥰🥰🥰❤❤🐢 Just one suggestion ; buy a FRESH toothbrush so that she doesn't get any illnesses that may transfer from a used brush. A kid's toothbrush is usually what other tortoise parents use.
