Don't get a tortoise if you plan to treat it like GREATPETSHOP. It will be a very sick, poor tortoise. Please if you want to get one, get real information. THE GREAT PET SHOP is a Tortoise KILLER

NightFlutter they came to me anemic so it damaged them permanently

Tell us what the best way to take care of them then.

@@acrylleak4340 well those tortoises are very very comon here..they love eating vegetables and fruits and they need a quite large area because they get stressed easily and that leads to psy hical provblems like spinnig around themelvs lol..also some of them love eating cat food for some reason xD..they need uvb and uva lights as other tostoises and alot of calcium to conserve their colors and the good shape on their shell..if u keep them on indoor tanks i recomend dirt or some kind of hay for the bottom..keep in mind that they like to eat alot and they need alot of calcium...also..these species breed like crazy between 3-8(9) eggs ..it depends on their age..if u plan to keep males with females a good ratio would be at least (2) 3-5 females per male(never put 2 males together in the same encloser if it is small..feel free to ask whatever u want

ImGettingAYorkie so excited what would I have to feed a hatchling. Like a daily feeding routine?

@@imgettingayorkiesoexcited4156 just because someone loves to eat something doesn't mean it's good for them. You're an idiot to suggest cat food

It's sad that it's illegal to keep these animals as pets in Greece

Yes because of the owner who has no idea how to treat a tortoise. They're sick. Don't listen to her advice.

@@cangaroofive I beleive pyramiding is due to too much calcium dust given on their foods mixed with the fake uv sunlight together this cant be good for them, i very very rarely give mine anything thats they wouldn't find in the wild, people don't go around adding calcium dust over vegetation in the wild! And my tortoises shells are beutifull no pyramiding thank heavens ive had them since they were tiny as a small matchbox now they are huge.

@@cangaroofiveWow that's so cool, Excellent 😉 i am so sure it's the calcium powder "overdose that gives them pyramiding"

@Dominus Providebit Isnt it a lack of UVB rather than an excess of calcium that causes it? Not being able to metabolise the calcium through vitamin D3 deficiency caused by low UVB exposure?

cangaroofive well, that’s not true at all. The people they got them from permanently damaged it.

Bleach is gud for u ok mr biologist

@@PierresWildAdventure He is right tho

No greek tortoise are like this only

@@yomamasofat5310 no. The bumby shell is caused by improper care. Look it up for yourself.

@@yomamasofat5310 I have a greek tortoise sitting 2 feet from me. And ill tell you for a fact that nearly every tortise in existence should not look like a Lego, and yes including the greek. Mines Very smooth

too much protein or not enough vitamin D/sun?

@@seriousorganizer pyramiding is when the shell grows too fast do to too much protein in their diet. Yes vitaminD can contribute to pyramiding, but the shells on them don't look as brittle as a D deficient tortoise. What these tortoises nead is more calcium and maybe even a lighter diet depending on the situation. Hydration isn't the only thing they need for their shells.

There turtle is a rescue and she saved it. the tortoises shell is permanently messed up

i used bark but I usually switch from bark to pellets and back.

Glad to hear that!

OMG yes it needs a light! Please google Greek Tortoise Care sheet for a detailed description of what is needed. Then please call that pet store and get that employee fired!

i did check out everything on the internet and i got a light.I will go to the store and i am planing on starting a fight with that guy.His job has to do with living creatures for Gods sake.He is so cute(i think its a he) and seems pretty happy except the fact that somehow he escaped his house which is 15cm(sorry i dont know how much this is in inches) and i found him wandering around lol

@@panosxristof7948 they need a uvb light for artificial sun rays & they need a heating light. The heating light is what keeps them active, so they are not cold & the uvb keeps them healthy with vitamin D.

They need light from the sun (not through a window) in order to stay healthy. Otherwise a UVB light.

They give me one newborn tortoise yesterday and I don't know what to do csn you tell me some important things to do?

@@Jdjdjsksndjs You need to give it water and you need to sprinkle it every day. You need to buy a UV lamp beacuse they need warm. And you have to give fresh green everyday. I hope I helped. Good Luck!😊🐢❤

Marko Markov testudo graeca graeca

you should let them free roam in your house 30 mins every day or so.

they can't do that all of the time, if it's inside, because they need important sunlight/vitamin D lighting....as well as good heat provided...

If they have correct lighting and ur ready to clean up poop then go for it

They aren’t the classic playful pet but can definitely be interactive and bond with you. Whether it’s worth it or not is up to you! 😊

Did you put any object to the edge of his cage? He might just want to go around it. My tortoise did the same and this helped.

Jennifer Beasley perhaps, but I've trimmed it in the meantime

No, tortoises can’t swim.

pyramid is not overfeeding, it's not getting enough vitamin D sunlight however people get rescues where it's already pyramid.....learn.....& not all greek tortoises are the same.....Greek tortoise of other nature do not hibernate in the winter. They are awake 365 days

Where do you live that your tortoise can stay outside year round?

GeoMar Family that's a great request! I will include in a future video

the tail

is this an actual question. Would you put YOURSELF into the fridge?????

Serious Organizer, Some tortoises can and have to hibernate so you can keep them in the fridge. Get your fact rights first. Do you even own a tortoise yourself ?

No

you're a moron. do you know how many people get rescues, which she stated a million times. don't judge BEFORE YO KNOW THE FACTS...once a tortoise is pyramid it CANNOT GO BACKWARDS

they are around 3 years old each.

TheGreatPetShop how much years can they live

@@user-wr3do3gr9b 30 on average

There are a lot of Greek tortoise subspecies. This just might not be the one you are used to! 😊

@@TheGreatPetShop aw, exuse me i didn't know thank you to make me know that ☺

you're laughing at something no-one else uses?

Lansing tdk there are actually two Greeks and one sulcata. And their beak has been trimmed

Yes, if you live in a temperate area you need to let them hibernate to keep them healthy. Keeping them inside, even only several months a year is bad for them. Keep them outside on natural soil and feed them wild weeds. If you dont want to let them hibernate outside you can prepare a fridge for that purpose.

I dedicated a video to comments like that. If u are interested check it out here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMybY7ypsriofGQ.html

Boss Phan that's the worst diet I've ever heard in my life. Of course they are going to eat it still. They don't starve themselves

TheGreatPetShop am asian , all my pet i feed them with rice even my fish too , they still fine and healthy

Boss Phan they should not be eating grains it can't hurt them really bad you should not have a tortoise

Manga mango brush where u got that information , from the scientific , dont be so stupid , they just products stuff and selling to u to make profit for their own , that why they come out with bullshit knowledge to brain wash u , to my own knowledge all the animals can eat rice , the cheapest foods to feed ur animal ,i feed my dog with rice , my fish with rice ,my toitoise witb rice , they been with me many years still fine ,,still active i can tell

i am asian , my main food is rice , white people said rice not good , but my ancestors live longer and healthy with bad food they said , come on man , u seen all the war happened , now u still believe on scientific told , give me a fucking break

Joyce Whitney when I kept my tortoises inside, I used to house them with coconut fiber and top soil but you could also use wood pellets or even aspen shavings although they don't hold humidity well. You can also use reptile bark that does a good job at keeping humidity. If you want, you can even add some spagnum moss for them to have a humid hide. I hope this was helpful and good luck with taking care of your tortoise (^_^)

Let them hibernate in winter. Greek tortoises have no business being indoors at any given time. Keeping them indoors leads to uneven growth and health problems down the line, look it up.

THERE IS NO INDOOR FOR A TORTOISE. Don't listen to this lady. She's killing the poor turtles. CRAP, she talks.

Tony Hunziker how tf is a tortoise gonna hibernate and survive a winter in Montana? You’re trying to bash the video but you’re just sounding like a clown

cangaroofive there IS INDOOR FOR A TORTOISE if you live in Montana. Crap you talk
