Awe little Nelson 😔 He was such a doll, let us wash him up and put medicine on his wounds. I am thankful he passed snuggled warm and peaceful with our love surrounding him. Hardest part of what we do is losing the uphill battle. Rest In Peace little one 😔
Hi everyone, was out watering the pens and came across these mushrooms that have recently popped up. Are they ok to leave in the pens? They don’t appear to of been eaten by the torts but are poop up in the Sulcata and DT pens. Are they ok to eat if they wanted to? Thank you in advance!

One of our favorites of the desert, the wild burrows. We had a really fun encounter last spring heading down into death valley. The personalities of the burrows is extraordinary. @EppsDynasty and I couldn't stop laughing at them trying to stick their nose and/or tongues in our windows. And those...
What baffles me is that they are continuously taking the land for which is their "protected habitat" for the stupid solar projects. Every time a new project arises, (which seems to be every week around here) the torts are scouted, removed and relocated to some other area. Sometimes close...
