benthedog Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thats a lovely Horsfield Nice colouring, how old if you don't mind me asking?(Edward might actually be a female, )ThanksHe's 2 but I'm starting to get worried about him/her because he's not eating at all for the last week. Do you know how to make them eat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Dandelion Leaves. They'll eat those in a shot, do you bath him much? How long are his lamps on for dude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthedog Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 He used to eat loads of dandelion leaves but he doesn't seem to like them much now. I bath him about once every 3 days. Don't really keep up a pattern though. Should I? it depends when i put his light on. If I'm at school it will get put on when I get up at 6 o'clock. Then it will go off at lunchtime and the back on when I get back from school at 4:30, till bed time at 9:30. So em.... 10 hours I think.But when I'm not at school it's on from 9 in the morning till 11 at night. Is that too long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I bath him about once every 3 days. Don't really keep up a pattern though. Should I? it depends when i put his light on. If I'm at school it will get put on when I get up at 6 o'clock. Then it will go off at lunchtime and the back on when I get back from school at 4:30, till bed time at 9:30. So em.... 10 hours I think. But when I'm not at school it's on from 9 in the morning till 11 at night. Is that too long? Nah the bathing seems fine, I bath mine once every few days, to just 'flush' him through and make sure he's eating alright. As with the lights, try and keep a more consistent pattern, like 7-9 in the week or something, mine are on 14h a day to try and trick him not to hibernate. They can still tell thou I'm positive. I have to draw my curtains while its still natural daylight and flick my bedroom light on, if he could see out the window its dark he goes to bed whereas with the light on he doesn't. Clever things... Could you get a switch timer? Mines on one so his lamps just come on at 8 and go off at 10 and that seems to work well. Think mine was a few quid from B&Q. Just a thought, how old did you say he is? 2? Maybe he is winding down for the hibernation period. Providing he is in good health and a healthy weight, he could hibernate now. Does he live outside a fair bit or just indoors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthedog Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) I used to have a timer but I think it nearly went on fire and my mum said I wasn't allowed to use it again. I'm quite worried about his health because i read somewhere that you could tell how healthy they were by the skin on there neck. Edward's is really thin and he can't stretch his neck properly. I'm worried he might die. :( He just wont eat though. Should I take him to the vet? Yes he's 2. Edited January 6, 2010 by benthedog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I would go to the vets yeah, I'm not 100% sure on it, but the skin on the neck flaking thing is down too calcium/vitamin deficiency. Do you use any supplements? I'd get him to a vet thou dude, although he could just be wining down to try and hibernate if his lights aren't on a regular pattern.

Tom Booth Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 While I'm chatting about torts, here's an update on Ralph....

Me ma an pa bought me some bits for his table, (like the bridges and stuff) which he really seems to enjoy! Tis good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benthedog Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 Your tortoise is lovely. What age is he? He looks really healthy too. I give him a supplement. Don't know what it is called though I think Reptavite. I gave him lettuce yesterday. I know your not supposed to but it wasn't iceberg and he munched it all. I can't get weeds out my garden because of all the snow. What are you feeding Ralph? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Ralph gets the odd lettuce leaf to munch on, Romaine lettuce is usually fine for them He's eating weeds grown indoors, plants and a few veg.

Adam-Griffin Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Banjos just finished shedding his face/beard I can't believe how much it's brought his colour out! Normally, hes reallly pale with a little bit of orange around his ear and a little patch by his eyes but now it's really distinctive I'm amazed at how big hes getting too actually, hes grown almost 4"s in the time that i've had him and hes already bigger than whats considered average for beardies 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's sort of started to eat more now. I started to give him a bath nearly every night and I think it's helped. By the way, how do you grow weeds indoors? Sorry if that's a stupid question Thanks for your help though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Booth Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Ebay dandelion seed, clover seed, any sort of weeds your aftr they will more then liekly be on ebay, plant them in damp soil and jut leave them alone really. They seem to thrive on neglect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if it's the same for Tortoises/turtles but I'd never feed Banjo anything from the garden, just in case there was any pesticides or anything on them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
