I put the pad in there at the Dr.’s request. It was cooler at the time so I’m sure I can take it out now.

As o said, he is used to brumating. Before we got him, he just went into a corner in their shed. No cover and brumation. That was in Palmdale, CA. We have a female CDT also. She was in a box, too.no problem with her.

I have read my message. Thank you!

Thank you, Tom. They aren’t exactly on the surface. I would say, a shallow hole. I can put more dirt over them. I really don’t want more tortoises but I am very hesitant to “chuck” them. It’s the Mom and love of all animals in me I guess. How long will she continue to lay eggs?

Trudy and Mr T have separate enclosures outside. A couple weeks ago Trudy started digging shallow holes next to bushes. At first I thought she was trying to dig another burrow for some reason. Then I could tell she was digging to lay eggs. Now her and Mr T have not been together. I read that CDT...

I’m going to repost this as a new thread. For possibly better exposure.

He has had a second round of ceftazidime. First round was daily for five days, then every other day for five days. Second round was to be the same but dr change to daily for the last five days, also. It gets pretty cold here at times in the winter. Can be freezing or below. I don’t have a...

Thank you for your response. I haven’t been taking him in at night for a few weeks. I know he needs the sun and fresh air. He has never dug a burrow. Before we got him several years ago, our sister had him. Her husband cut a doghouse down to a smaller size and he used that. I have a thick folded...

These are from Chat GPT. Are one of them the one you’re referring to?

Thank you. I will look online to find the dandelion lookalike and the seeds. Better yet, maybe Chat GPT can find both. 😁

How fun! LOL

I want to plant seeds or plants for the CDTs. I do have Rose of Sharon and other roses. I can easily find flower and vegetable seeds but where do I find the seeds for dandelions and others. People don’t like dandelions in there yards but I don’t care. And I can have some planters for growing...

The latest… As stated above, Trudy and Mr T have separate enclosures outside. A couple weeks ago Trudy started digging shallow holes next to bushes. At first I thought she was trying to dig another burrow for some reason. Then I could tell she was digging to lay eggs. Now her and Mr T have not...

Want to update Mr T’s progress, or lack thereof. He has completed the second round of 10 Ceftazidime. He is still congested. He also is eating very very little. I’m going to be honest, with testing twice and the antibiotics, it has cost over $2000. If I get him out of his enclosure or bush, he...

He is outside. I was bringing him in at night. But he has been outside for several days now. We are in central CA so it is very warm. He has a house to go into whenever he wants to. He has sun, shade, grass, water, house, and food. Thank you for the info.
