Wow, she's missing her front right but her left seems good.
I thought I was the only one with tortoises in the neighborhood (I'm pretty sure they're Desert but now I gonna have to check,lol)
Here's a pic. We live in an area with acre lots and our neighbor's kid brought her over. They also found one in the street so I'm not sure if I can return her. So that's why I'm asking about enclosures.
Thanks
Neighbor kid stopped by the other day with a hatchling in a box and said "we found your turtle ". Any i have 3 DT's and not sure about the kid. I've kept her in a container with water and I'm feeding her 2 times a day and placing her outside (I'm in Phoenix so its hot) for a few hours a day. I...
First thanks for all the responses. I did go out and gather them up brought into garage and they weren't happy. Kept them in for a while and then put back out. I cleaned their burrows, as best as I could, and observed. Two share a burrow and the other two swap. But one burrow took awhile to dry...
Good morning, just a quick question. I have 4 DT's and last nite we had a massive storm that dumped almost 3 inches of rain. Long story short, burrows flooded but when I went out at 4 AM, the enclosure was flooded, their burrows not even locatable but I found one DT in a box on top, another in...

Hi y'all,
Been a while since I have been on but I still love this forum.
As you may remember, about 2 years ago, I adopted 5 Desert Tortoises, unfortunately I lost one but the other 4 have been wonderful. Growing by leaps and bounds and thus my question.
When they...
Hi Again,
Just a quick question, do I need to worry about the 4 Harris Hawks that seem to have taken up residence across the street? My kids are 8 to 10 inches long and 4 to 6 wide. Do I need to worry. I have had my enclosure for a little less than 1 1/2 years and just took off the mesh for a...
SUCCESS :D
After I posted, I went out to see who was out and feed them. One of the larger ones were out and I marked him. I went to the corner and marked #2. I then went to a hole they dug last year that one of them seems to really enjoy and he/she was there. Then I proceeded to one of the...
Good Day to all,
This may be a morbid question but it is one I must ask. As I have said previously, I have 4 DT's (I know where are the pictures, LOL) but in the past two weeks, I believe that I have only three that are coming out to sun and feed.
One of the burrows that they made, in the...
Hello again,
As a new (less than 1 1/2 year) guardian, I have been real concerned that I have only observed three of my four kids. The weather has been strange here in Phoenix but I have been checking daily. I was having a little problem re-identifying them and I was real concerned that one had...
Hi Y'all
What a great day in the Phoenix area. Nice and warm, sunny and great.
Just stopped by to first announce that now I have two that have awakened. Found one yesterday under the blanket I had over the dogloo, inadvertantly moved the blanket. Rather than bother him, I replaced the blanket...
My sincere thanks for the information and encouragement.
Yvonne, I am in the Phoenix area and lately it has been a little warmer than usual.
Since I posted, there has been no activity. Of course, we did inherit the California storm that blew thru here yesterday but I have two enclosures that...
Hello again,
Haven't posted for quite awhile and I need some questions answered.
Last time I was on, I had 5 DT's that were adopted last year. This was the first year (winter) they have been outside in thier enclosure. I did lose one this summer but the remaining 4 burrowed and have not been...
Yvonne,
As usual, you are the rock. Thanks for this information and a more relaxed feeling.
I'm like a new daddy, check on them at least three times a day, I always make sure they have water and I do put out some treats for them but lately they may take two or three bites and then spread out...
