Thank you so much for sharing your video. My tortoise went missing for five months this was his hibernation time ( I had thought someone had taken him his 65 years old) . My family and I searched both back gardens completely but no luck , I really thought someone had taken him . Absolutely brilliant news this morning I opened the back door to let my dog winnie out and there was my beloved tortoise Cesal lots of mud too . Wanting to wash him I had no idea until I went on TH-cam and found your video. Cesal hasn't properly woken up yet but I did try washing his face with Luke warm water but he kept hiding in his shell. I am so happy to have my boy back all the crying about him missing and wondering what had happened to him then to wake up this morning to find him is the best feeling ever. Thank you again for your sharing your video you made my day extra special .God bless and stay safe x
Hi Denise, Aw someone had an adventure! So happy you still have him & he's well. A friends tort went missing a few years back & suddenly reappeared a bit grubby a year later! 😁 I'm glad the video was helpful & best wishes to you all. Stay safe. ~Kris
i was surprised with a horsefield tortoise yesterday after years of asking for one and i love him. i watched this video to help me bathe him today for the first time and he loved it!!! thank you !!
Hiya @@nathanielnorris2653, that depends, if they don't get dirty then hardly ever, I just Bath mine when they get a little muddy or I think they may need to take on more fluids. 👍🏻
I have 2 female Russian tortoises, I give them baths but didn't know to scrub them with toothbrush! Lol I just used my hands! Harper and Finley say "thank you"! 😍
"Preferably not your mum or dad's" Haha you're hilarious!! I followed this tutorial to bathe my Horsefield called Shelldon, his little feet sure were dirty!
I have found that after bathing my Horsefield Tortoise that if I put him on folding table with a beach towel, that he drys off well, and its a great time to bond. Soon as we are done playing and hes worn out I put him away and he runs for a hide box lol.
I like your video very much and thank you very much for taking care of turtles because I also have 3 pieces and I love them when I have strees I go to turtles I forget and I am so happy and happy with them I thank everyone man who takes good care of animals and helps them who does agree with me👍🏿❤️
Hi Carol, they're only in a little water for a very short amount of time then dried. Its when theyre in wet conditions for a bit longer that they can get shell rot etc.
Tropical Discovery Workshops thanks, I have been doing lots of research. I have ordered the tortoise table and all equipment needed. Just a quick question how long do they have to be under the lamp for per day and how long are they allowed not underneath it? Thanks
Thanks ypu the k was nice video. Please pray I find my Mrs tort as she's escaped out of her outdoor encloser on a bright sunny day. We live in Scotland UK she is 6 and mr tort is missing her. We back onto woods and fields and its like looking for a needle in a haystack. She's been gone 6 weeks in heartbroken 😔
Crane? If you mean mains, I personally don't because I live in a hard water area although it won't cause any issues that I'm aware of. I guess it's my personal preference. 😊
I have two female tortoises. We have given them different names - Kuna & Kuni. The smaller one (in size) isn't very active and occasionally falls sick. The bigger one is quite active and roams all around our house. However, unlike the others here, I put them daily in luke warm water that helps them to poop. They both are lovely creatures.
A year back, the smaller one was quite uneasy and the vet said that she has an ingrowing tooth that needed to be trimmed. Wow...what a struggle she put out until the anesthesia took effect. When I brought her home, the bigger one was hovering around her taking care !!
Being in water for tortoises actually relieves them from the pull of gravity and their heavy shells, plus the warm water regulates their temperature and assists them on eliminating much more easily than on ground.
Tysm💖 I just got a tortoise yesturday and I want to clean him/her (not sure its gender yet lol), and I didnt know how but this video helped a lot so ty😊
I had 2 tortoises named lolly and joey but joey was always fighting lolly so we gave joey away to my bff eve i see him all the time ive still got lolly she is now 3
I think it was cuz there were only 1 female ( guessing by the names ) and I searched up if they are aloud friends with them and two females will live happy, or 1 male and 2 female 👍
I prefer not to use tap water due to it having additives for human health. Also, some properties have a hot water tank not a boiler, so the water isn't 100% safe to drink so I won't risk it. Further more, some countries tap water isn't safe anyway but if you don't have access to rain water just boil the water first, let it cool & use a thermometer. Don't scald yourself. 😊
Thank you for answering my questions. I also didn't know Russian tortoises are called horsefield tortoises, that is an interesting fact thank you. Do your tortoises go into hibernation at the same time?
I have a box turtle, he's adorable and colorful critter. It's always a pleasure to see him running around in the yard, dashing from one end of yards to next. Leave them plenty of water because they love to soak up water when weather is nice outside and they need to rehydrate their skin. Don't use tap or hose water because it has chemical, use bottled spring water or water conditioner to get rid of chemical in water to make safe for turtle 🐢 to bathe in and drink from.
I would get a.girl if I were you I have a boy called squirt. I love him dearly but he bites and trys to mate with my feet all the time. He lives indoors and will not be penned in at all. They do make lovely pets though. I recommend kamp Kenan channel for advice on housing and diet. Best wishes Liz and squirt x

Does daily bath is suitable for them....
Not daily no. I say every couple of weeks unless extra dirty. 😊
@@TropicaldiscoveryUk Thnx sir for your comment...... I will impliment it... :-)
Sir I want to ask you one more question...... Before 3 days ago I brought my tortoise but till now he didn't taken his food...... What's the matter
@@DevSingh-ls7qf ok, what species of tortoise is it, what food are you offering & what is your set up?
Uau que ótima maneira de dar banho na tartaruga
I have 2 Herman turtles it’s my first day with them❤️❤️
Tortoise
Thank u so much .our tortoise name is ramu it is a good pet animal do u know it observes us very well.
When it’s bath time for my tortoise I have to go to all out war
So when you wash the tortoise shell you will not destroy and when you put them in side the water.?
Hi Carol, they're only in a little water for a very short amount of time then dried. Its when theyre in wet conditions for a bit longer that they can get shell rot etc.
How often should I clean a Germans baby tortoise
Personally every couple of weeks. 😊
@@TropicaldiscoveryUk thank you this will really help 😁
Quanta acqua metto se la tartaruga é natA da un mese?
I am going to get a golden Greek tortoise I am so exited 😀
I have a baby turtle and i love it

Marika Salovaara I have 3 too!
I have 1 I love him too but would u recommend having 2?
MamaRoach 75 ...do u keep them together???
Cute.
Wonderful tips.
Btw, can I use my grandparent's toothbrushes? 🙏😂
I insist! 😁
Hi all I'm getting a Horsefield tortoise in a couple of weeks. Can anyone give me any advice?☺️🐢
My advice would be so as much research as possible. Also check food suitability on the tortoise table website. 😊
Tropical Discovery Workshops thanks, I have been doing lots of research. I have ordered the tortoise table and all equipment needed. Just a quick question how long do they have to be under the lamp for per day and how long are they allowed not underneath it?
Thanks
I personally mirror daylight hours if they're indoors under a uv bulb but mine live in outdoor enclosures when temperature permits. 😊
Tropical Discovery Workshops can you do a video of one of your tortoises daily routine?
@@albusthetortoise7740 yeah sure. I'll incorporate it into my next vid tomo or Tuesday. 😊

is it OK if i get warm water straight from the crane?

Thx easy to follow vid

I love tortoises
this was a great way of explaining it. of you could let me know asap, why do they poop in the water? is it from stress?
Thanks Kileigh Ann. The pooping in the bath happens with snakes & lizards too. 😊 It's not stress but it's like the warm water loosens them up. 😅
Being in water for tortoises actually relieves them from the pull of gravity and their heavy shells, plus the warm water regulates their temperature and assists them on eliminating much more easily than on ground.
Brother?
Heeey! Wagwan fam?
I love turtles🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

Yeah tortoise *
Me too🥺🥺🥺😁😁🥰🥰👍👍👍
Is it ok to wash a tortoise in a small sink or shallow bath ?
Hi Tracy, yes that's fine. Just make sure your tort isn't left unattended incase it climbs the sides & flips over. 👍🏻
How often do you bathe tortoises
Hi Fran, I normally bathe them once a month unless they get dirty. 😊
Lol the turtle doesn’t like baths does it 🐢😂
Soooo cuuuutteeee
Tysm💖 I just got a tortoise yesturday and I want to clean him/her (not sure its gender yet lol), and I didnt know how but this video helped a lot so ty😊

What kind of turtle is that
Hi Ava, in the uk we call these tortoises & the water dwellers turtles & terrapins. 😊 These ones are Horsefield Tortoises. 😁
I had 2 tortoises named lolly and joey but joey was always fighting lolly so we gave joey away to my bff eve i see him all the time ive still got lolly she is now 3
Hi Abby Rutter yeah boys are like that. I keep them separate until breeding time. :) glad you still get to see him though :)

I think it was cuz there were only 1 female ( guessing by the names ) and I searched up if they are aloud friends with them and two females will live happy, or 1 male and 2 female 👍
I have a star tortoies
Thanks for tell me bath skill
Should i start a TH-cam for my tortoise?
Hey Eric, why not? 😊
how old are they? mine just turn 2 months aaa cant wait to see them grow bigger
Hi, so when I took them in the female was 6 & the male was 5. That was about 5 or 6 years ago, I need to check my records really. 😄
@@TropicaldiscoveryUk hahahaaha my bad i didnt check the date of the video 😂 But thank you for the reply 🐢
@@flaneurli.6077 did I say in the video? Ha I can't remember. 😅
Did you tap water to give them a bath in?

My tortoise poops in the water when I give her a bath
I watched this before getting my tortoises and today I will be watching it again to clean my new tortoises potato and hotdog
Great names! 👍🏻😅
What if I clean it with soap will it die
I've been cleaning it with soap for years and I don't want to lose her 😢😭
It's cool, just don't use soap in future. 😊
Was that all dirt or did it take a poop?
Mud from digging. 😁
I put mine in the bathtub to rinse and bathe
hey could i just use normal tap water or do i have to put something in the water to make it safe?
I don't use tap water here in the uk unless it's left to stand for a cpl of days but it won't harm your tort. 😊
"Add tortoise" ... hilaaarious! Don't they get a wax / polish / finish? 😁
Haha 👍
Please, don't wax or polish your tortoises, they're not furniture. 😊
I also have a baby red eared slider
He treat his turtle better then my dad treats me
Hey big fat parrot, have you been a naughty bird though?
Will the work for a Russian Tortoise? How is Taco?
Hi Rob, Russians Torts are horsefields. 😊 Tacos good, going into hibernation tomorrow. 👍🏻
Thank you for answering my questions. I also didn't know Russian tortoises are called horsefield tortoises, that is an interesting fact thank you. Do your tortoises go into hibernation at the same time?
@@robthesnakeguy4618 my pleasure Rob. Russians / horsefields are known by a number of different names which can confuse things. 😊 Hope yours is well.
Tortoise need soap for bath ????
Hi Jadhav, no don't use a soap. 👍🏻
do russian tortoises get shell rot from having water on their shell?
Only if kept wet/damp. I dry them after a bath & keep them in their dry enclosure when it rains. 😊
My turtles name is touti he is only 2 and that turtle was from my moms work and we can have it c:

Hey, nope that's totally normal, in fact all reptiles do that. 😊
