how many tortoises do you have?
Well...there's a lot of keepers here that have creeps of tortoises...I just have 3 torts, 15 box turtles, 18 birds and 2 cats...one is a 30 lb Main coon....I don't have too many animals...and they are why I get up in the morning...well, mostly because the cats wake me up to be fed...lol

OMG! You have a Munchkin? I want one so bad!!! Here's Simon, he's half Main Coon and half Norwegian forest cat...He's 30 lbs and 2.5 ft long....he has a slow growing melanoma in his right eye...the color on the cornea is almost all gone...his vision in that eye isn't normal, but there's no pain, and according to the Vet he won't need surgery for years

I grew them outside in my garden, we made raised garden boxes and fenced it in since the deer here are jerks and eat everything including stuff the aren’t supposed to eat ? it was summer time probably mid July and I just put the seeds in the dirt. This year I will plant in mid May

Yes i get tons in my yard also .. i think I have more weeds than grass on my lawn lol most ppl would hate that.. but not us weird tortoise ppl
I've been working on the dandelions in my neighborhood for almost 15 yrs. I have permission to go in different front yards and take them...I am always surprised at the amount that come back....they are so easy to grow...I pull enough in abt 20 minutes to feed 2 bigger Sulcata and 1 smaller tort...the box turtles will eat them also...from now until October, I will have enough food growing around for my chelonia that all I have do is harvest it...016.JPG008.JPG
