Hello all , I updated the Tort pen for the big girls for next spring and summer . Little Milly still has her play pen but hangs mostly with the larger girls when I'm outside. Both adult females were bred this July and We have 20 eggs incubating so we will need it anyway. This is not planted or...

This is Mildred a.k.a Milly She was a rescue so I had no prior history on her . Was wondering if she might be a Cherryhead and was looking to get an opinion or two. Her Plastron is getting darker since her first year with me she has enlarged red elbow scales and her nose is a bit larger than my...

Thanks and good looking out for the herd.

I currently have a 5 foot Mulberry Bush from using this method. Do try it out its a fun experiment, and their poop is such an awesome fertilizer haha

I have a tendency to pick up my girls feces and toss them in a flowerpot with organic soil in it. I do this because each spring I have a chance to grow what ever seeds they may have in their fecal material into a thriving plant. Which I then re-feed them with what ever fruit or veggie that...
