    When To Get A Sulcata Neutered

    I'm late sorry ..... Neutering is NOT routine and is a very rare procedure only for very extreme cases. As an example: All the hybrid Galapagos torts are getting their male part cut off to stop the inter breeding of species. It is a thing BUT not one to just do cause you don't want babies...

    Proper Intramuscular Injection Site and Procedure

    This is EXACTLY my point. What does a newbie think when they see jaizei (a moderator) acting this way? I posted video of the same injection method I posted and yet still I am stupid ..... to stupid to speak. This behavior by jaizei is not new it is in fact a part of WHY the TFO is where it...

    Put up or Shut up

    100% agree with you ..... that's why a moderator initiating an argument and then continuing to antagonize the member with flat out BS speaks volumes. To think Josh is unaware of this .... I think not. I'm sure he is very aware of this and THIS is why the TFO is where it is 15 years later. So...

    Proper Intramuscular Injection Site and Procedure

    Again, this is an attempt to discredit the information by attacking the person instead of addressing the facts. If you have a substantive correction, quote the claim and cite sources. If not, stop derailing. And yes—this is exactly the kind of behavior that becomes a real liability for a forum...

    Heating & Heat Mat Question

    In our facility the amount of power and devices powered is a real thing. Our thoughts are that if the perfect environment can be achieved safely with as few devices or items that can fail and as little power is best. Now of course this will be completely different with fewer torts or houses...

    Baby tortoise walking funny with back left leg

    We have seen this in a Sulcata. A rescue we showed up to had a Sulcata doing this with both legs. It looked at first like a egg laying exercise ..... the way they dig holes to lay eggs, both male and female torts do this. We were baffled and sought out vet guidance and input with no answers...

    Proper Intramuscular Injection Site and Procedure

    I’m going to keep this focused on tortoise care and the claims you made—not personal attacks. Calling me a “liability,” “abusive,” and saying I “take over threads” is not constructive. If you disagree with something I post, quote the point and address the content. I will do the same. 1)...

    Night box plywood question

    3/4 inch Plywood NOT OSB or MDF or siding. WRONG ...... you need a stiffer stronger wall, floor, ceiling than the thinnest. Using 1/2 inch will only leave you building a new one in the middle of a snow storm. Even with small torts the 1/2 inch will deteriorate and pose an injury risk. The...

    Proper Intramuscular Injection Site and Procedure

    YOU ARE 100% wrong ......Giving injections in the limbs is VERY painful. There are far more nerves in the limbs than anywhere else on the tort, not to mention the logistics of wiggling it in-between the spurs. We have seen numerous torts with broken needles in their legs from idiots injecting...

    Best Grassland Tort Feed In Our Opinion

    https://harvesthappyfarm.com/collections/featured This company came to our Haven and we had a very good meeting and learned quit a bit about this company and their mission. We did not have any ideas of 'what' this product would be or do, we just wanted to let the tortoises tell us. Yes we...
