Almost forgot, Ollivander is sometimes called Strider, after Aragorn, or Spoopy Rock, because my cat is terrified.

His name is Ollivander. His nicknames are: Rock sandwich Ollie Mr. Turtleface Dookie-bear Tickle-sandwich Waddles Pookums Zippy

Hello, all! My tortoise, Ollivander, is a rescue, and for both the previous owner and myself, he refuses to eat anything but Romaine lettuce. No kale, no blueberries, no strawberries, no mustard greens. I want to feed him better, but he just won't. I have a bearded dragon and a rabbit that...

Hello, all! I had an idea for my Russian tortoise, Ollivander. I'm soon going to be moving to a larger home, and will have room for a larger enclosure for him. Something I had in mind was to build something that has a removable front wall, and a ramp in and out, so that I can leave it open when...

Would a bit of slate tile suffice?

Sorry for the lack of focus. Cheap phone.

Hello, all! I was looking at Ollivander's beak and thought it might need to be trimmed. I got him from the previous owner, and while he was generally well kept, I feel this may have escaped her notice. Or, maybe I am catastrophising... Anyways, here's a couple pictures. My bunny, Hermione, can...

Maybe at some- we're not a perfect company and no one is. My store gets small individuals and they usually sell in a week or less. Fun fact: Pet stores are not all the horrible things PETA would make you believe. They're actually typically run by people who love animals.

I have been shortlisted for a reptile rescue in my area and no longer am looking- when they get a tortoise and I take possession, I will be posting an intro. Can't wait to formally meet you all! ^_^

I just got shortlisted for a reptile rescue in my area, so I am no longer interested. I'll post an introduction as soon as the rescue gets a tortoise and I take possession, and you'll see that I was in earnest.

A little insulting, but I can sympathize with wanting what's best for the animal. If you like, I can upload pictures of all of my other pets- I was waiting on an introduction thread until I actually got a tortoise.

Not my pet store. Granted, the tank is too small for adults, but we sell them a lot younger, and on the rare occasions one gets too big to be sold, it is generally adopted out to an associate (like I said, rare, or I wouldn't be asking lol). It really is a good setup for them and we know what...

Hello, all! I am looking to get my first tortoise. I am an experienced pet and reptile keeper, but have never had any chelonians before. I definitely cannot take a Sulcata or any other giant breeds. I have a veterinarian who sees exotics, and a tank all but ready and waiting. I am in the...

Hello, there! Are you willing and able to safely ship your buddy? I live in Ohio and want a smaller tortoise, and want to adopt, but it's only sulcatas up for adoption around here. I have never had a tortoise, but I keep other reptiles and other pets, and everyone is very healthy and spoiled...
