Thanks, but believe me I am the lucky one. I enjoy my tortoise and turtles so much, and they provide valuable lessons for my little 7 year old granddaughter. My little Yorkie isn't ignored either. Spoiled doesn't even begin to describe my babies. (That includes mt granddaughters as well...
I appreciate your help. Wow, 39 years. I hope this little girl lives that long. I will utilize all your suggestions. I am new to this forum, but have already got lots of valuable info. Thanks again

Hi. I have a 4 year old Red Legged Tortoise named Atoe, and two Redearred sliders named peppermint and Hart. Just yesterday we added a new little guy. He is a box turtle. A student found it in the street and a dog was trying to play with it. We have rescued it for now. It is obvious that...
