- Please watch the disclaimer in the video carefully.
Tortoises are supposed to live outdoors in natural environment and not indoors.
This video explains how much important sunlight is for a tortoise and how it is very effective to recover a tortoise from illness and save its life.

Disclaimer : Indian star tortoises are illegal to buy, sell or keep as pets in India.
Despite being scheduled species they have been sold and kept as pets.
This video is not supporting to keep them in captivity but such things are not under my control.
So, trying to educate people keeping them in captivity illegally to understand what environmental and dietary needs these tortoises need.
This does not mean we support captivity
Excellent job! Beautiful tortoise. Excellent video.
Helpful thanks for sharing ❤️❤️
Please make this type of videos so people get aware about them and they will not be an endengere species for long
Thangs for doing this 👍👍
thank you thank you, for everything you do for these tortoises ❤ and also spreading accurate and important information of these precious tortoises 🙏🐢
Glad you like them!🙏😇
Thanks for making these videos. I have cared for a few star tortoise since i was young and had to learn through trial and error and some through the lessons of the death of some of my tortoises.
Please do make more videos on how to care for Star Tortoise.
And If you know how to breed them, it'll be great if you could make a video about it.
Thanks.
Thank you for appreciating.
I’m not a breeder and do not support illegal captive breeding so won’t share anything about it.
Most of the videos will cover things about tortoise care, you can refer those.
Sunlight is definitely key 🔑
Another thing to note though, is the UV index!
You can give all the sun you want to, but if the UV index is low (hence you live in a cold place), then they will not benefit from the exposure.
So, not just sunlight, but quality sunlight is extremely important.
Thanks for sharing, your videos are greatly appreciated 🙏 😊
Thanks 🙏❤️
❤️👍🏻👏
Can you please tell me the name of antibiotics you gave to your tortoise
Thank you for helping her. Nowadays humans keep the tortoise only to increase their wealth, revenue etc
My female star tortoises have this problem what should I do please tell me
What are the leaves tortoise eating in the beginning of the video?
From his nose bubbles are coming so what must I do
After that i took n online appiontment of n delhi doctor... He suggested vitamin n calcium syrup n dip tortise in carrot juice for swallon eyes... Now his eyes r little better n will be fine soon... But worried about his legs... Plz if u can help with antibiotic name...
Sir my tortoise is not eating food for so many days pls help me
Wait, tortoises urinate?
3:42 what were you doing there ?
While Pouring water on her
What’s the name of the cactus you feeding
That's called spineless prickly pear or spineless opuntia
Sir please suggest me how to feed them water please 😢they don't drink at all
What kind of antibiotics you gave how much ... please tell me some names
I don’t know any names and doses and you should also not self medicate. Better to take a sick animal to a good vet rather than putting its life at risk by doing it yourself.
How many tortoise do you have? How do you get all those? Are they all yours? You work for any conservation program?
Numbers keep changing, none of the tortoises are “mine”. All of them are either given away by their owner or rescued due to illness in captivity. Once rehabilitated, those who have strong immunity and shifted to all naturally growing diet are released in wild.
I also went to Vet to show his legs only... But he said he is very weak with lack of calcium n vitamin... N hence gave him 2 glucose injection on legs n 1 calcium injection on neck... N from that day he stopped eating.. Moving.. Swallon eyes etc.. N i am also not very satisfied with his check up.
In my house there is no sunlight so what is the another method to give heat to tortoise?
Artificial lights will give warmth but you cannot replace sunlight anyhow.
Better if you think about well-being of the tortoise and give it to local wildlife department.
It’ll be away from you but the tortoise will have a chance to live normal, natural life again.
In absence of such basic needs, it’ll live deformed life and may end up dying a slow painful death in captivity.
Think for that life, not just a pet.
Can you please give the vet details
My baby tortoise is not eating anything expect some bites of cucumber from 2-3 days please help
Better to get checked by a vet as soon as possible.
Bhai, PLS TELL THE ANTIBIOTICS MEDICINES NAME AND WHERE IT IS AVAILABLE??
I'm not a vet and don't know the medicine.
You should also take the tortoise to a vet and not self medicate.
My toirtoise is having difficulty in moving and walks very very less as compared to earlier also not eating as much as it used to eat. I think his front arms are bit folded due to keeping him in a wooden structure what to do now???
Please help
You should definitely take it to vet to get examined thoroughly. If no problem internally then you should do necessary husbandry changes to reverse the deformity.
My house doesn't get sunlight at all. Will it help if I use artificial UVA and UVB light on them?
Yes, artificial lights can be used to fulfill UV spectrum requirements.
Bhai please bata do konsi antibiotic de tortoise ko
Don’t know the name of the antibiotics and even if we knew it one should not self medicate any animal.
Let the experienced vet do their job.
@@IndianStarTortoise correctly said
My tortoise age is 8 years she was good earlier recently i saw that her shell is soft and i am too worried, what to do please suggest 🥺
Can be due to lack of sunlight/ UVB or lack of calcium or improper calculations ratios. Better to get examined by vet.
How much time we have to keep turtle in water and in sun?
Soak in shallow water for 15-20 minutes and allow to bask in sunlight until the tortoise wants to move to shade, there isn’t a perfect measured timing for basking as it may vary depending upon ambient temperatures.
Hello dear... My tortise facing the same issue... His leg r not working n he is draging the body same like this... He is very weak n stopped eating food too... Can u plz help me with antibiotics name...
Please understand you cannot give random antibiotics to a tortoise, the vet who given glucose and calcium injections was probably not right. Please search for a better vet who knows things about reptiles. Please let me know from which city you are, shall help with vet is possible.
Sir..my tortoise does not like sunlight..he runs away when I keep him in sunlight..what to do?
Try giving food in sunlight during sunrise and sunset but if your tortoise run away from that too then do not forcefully bask him.
He’ll bask if he needs to.
My tortoise is facing same issue please suggest me where do I get antibiotics medicine. Please tell me the medicine name. It's urgent
Don’t know the medicine name. If it’s urgent then you should rush to a veterinary doctor, DO NOT SELF MEDICATE.
how do you protect your tortoise from predators in india
Having dense bushes and shrubs in the outdoor enclosure is the key to provide enough hiding spaces to protect from predators.
Mere star toitose ke nose me se bubbles niklte he khbi kbhi ???????????????!
Take it to a vet, better if you get a reptile vet.
Whate problem please 🙏 tell me is going to diy
Please take your tortoise to a vet instead wasting time online searching for remedies!

My tortoise is almost 5 years old but it's only size of my palm?? Is it normal? + It doesn't like sunlight love's dark places
Yes, tortoises grow really slow.
@@IndianStarTortoise it's shell is soft is that an issue
Yes, this is definitely an issue.
It can be metabolic bone disease and if it is severe then it is life threatening.
Consult a reptile vet without any delay.
My tortoise urining but not urating why tell me
Can be multiple reasons for urate buildup.
Better to get checked by a vet.

My tortoise gone inside the shell and no movement is their...she is hibernating?
Star tortoises do not hibernate, she might possibly cold or in worst case dead.
Toirtoise bemar he ki nhi kese pta kare ...
Should be active, moving around normally, eating well.
Eyes and nostrils should be clean and clear. No bubbles, mucus, whistling or quacking sounds.
