Beautiful babies with beautiful Grandma!

I am SOOOOOO VERY SORRY for dropping off the Forum like that! (Family situation) Hope you have found a reliable source of Mazuri for your [emoji217]

I am so sorry you had such bad experience. I had a rough start as well but found TFO early on enough that over very short period of time corrected all of my tort environment mistakes. It is absolutely imperative to cover the top of your enclosure, otherwise there is no way to keep the...

Oh man! I am trying to catch up on all the threads I’ve missed out over the past couple yrs. I am so very sorry for your loss!!! Please accept my deepest condolences. You sure did what was humanely possible to your tortoise.

Hey there Everyone! I LOVE watching birds!!! Used to have feeders of all sorts all over the garden but then we started getting visiting cats and one if them made himself at home and lived with us for the next 11-12 yrs and he was an avid hunter! I stopped feeding my birds once he brought me his...

Steve’s little outdoor universe is truly enviable! Absolutely LOVE the way you did his garden!

What a sad begining of your story! And what a wonderful end to it!!!! One of my RF’s went missing too when he was just a little youngster. I stuck to this forum like a glue and tried doing all the tricks you guys told me in hopes of finding him. And we did! Find him! 4wks later! I am so sorry...

Oh Bea! I just want to hold you right now! Wow! Please, please don’t beat yourself up with „could’ve, should’ves”. You did your very best at the time, gave your ALL. Your experience thread will be referenced to for years to come helping others who encounter similar problems. IfI was a pet...

I also want to share something with the new tort keepers especially. Be careful and remember when raising your pets that they are creatures of habit! Watch out for what kinds of habits you help them develop. I’ll explain: over the past year my torts have reached about their adult size (I think...

Also @Redfoot NERD Tucker’s plastron is straight as a board, no concavity, but Shellie does have a “dip” in it. I’ll try to get a better pic of it with next bath. Though her tail opening area is very much “girl-like” so she must be one of those RF with concave bellies. I do see some either...

I meant „incubated”, ofcourse. And yes, I did follow your Tortoise Library care sheets for RF. Heck, they were my „tort bible” the first year or so. Thank you for sharing your expertise with all of us amateur hobby keepers. It’s important to me to know that what I do for my shelled babies is...

Oh, Bea! I’m trying to get back in the groove with TFO and trying to scan through some threads of old friends to start catching up, and run across this thread!!! Omg! I had no idea you’ve been through such an ordeal with your little cutie! I am so so very sorry you had to go through that, on the...

I second that

Hello there, and warm welcome from Texas! Your baby RF is beautiful and you guys seem to be much better prepared for welcoming a new shelled family member than I was back 4 yrs ago when I got mine. Good for you! Mine are RF as well and I love them to pieces. I second my predecessor’s advice...

Wow!!! 6 sulcata torts!!!!! I’d consider buying a piece of land that you can use as a pasture for them, and large enough where you can rotate the torts to let the stuff grow for them. How ever did you end up with 6 of them?
