In Reply to: New Tortoise Acquisition posted by Morgan on April 08, 2001 at 20:00:36:
: I just returned from the Pottstown, PA show where (amongst other things!) I acquired two Hingeback Tortoises. Yes, they are wild-caught and I already have an appointment for the vet. All the tortoises at the show were lightweight, so I chose the two who came out of their shell and seemed curious about their surroundings. I had them out on the lawn today and they both trucked around a bit with some confidence.
: While we do the vet stuff, I would like to get some info from other folks experienced in acclimating wild-caught Hingebacks. Foods they seem to prefer, substrates to use, etc.
: I've acclimated many lizards over the years, and was lucky that my Leopard Tortoise and Indonesian Box Turtle were both very well adapted when I got them. I'm sure these tortoises will be more challenging, so I would appreciate any help anyone can give.
: Thanks!
Hi,
First we need to know which species of hingeback you have? It will be easier to give you info on the tort that you have, instead of general info on all of them.
If you don't know, then we can try and work out which one you do have and i'm sure the other members in the group will help with this.
