    RIP WAWA

    So sorry for your loss. She truly was a beautiful tortoise! Turn the sorrow you have for Wawa into love and give the extra to Titan. You and Titan will both benefit that way.

    ** Tortoise produce hack **

    This is a great idea….I’ve done this with other type of plants for other reasons but never thought of the saving this could provide at the grocery store…my torts name is Milly and radicchio is her favorite although she also likes endive and escarole also ….my next grocery run I think I’ll pick...

    Question for Tom the master

    So 2 things I wish were on the market but I haven’t seen yet. 1.-smallKane mats for smaller torts…and 2.- smaller Mazuri pellets for smaller torts…..come on people. I guarantee there would be a market for this stuff. I’d be the first one buying both. Why hasn’t anyone thought of or done this...

    Question for Tom the master

    What would be ideal is if I could give her to someone that lives in Florida or California and then I’d get a much smaller type of tort to replace her but that’s just wishful thinking….I don’t know what to do.

    Question for Tom the master

    I honestly don’t have enough room …or even the know how to built Milly a closed enclosure that would be big enough for her…..and as for lighting I’ve tried everything including the flood lights but she refuses to go near them. Ive left them on for days at different heights and in different spots...

    Question for Tom the master

    I’ve had one of the heating pads I use short on me and luckily I’m always home because of my mom I caught it before too much damage but Milly had to run from the burning embers and the house was pretty smoky. that’s why I wish they made a smaller version of the Kane mats…I can’t get Milly to use...

    Question for Tom the master

    Yes she had a run in with my dog Molly in the beginning that’s the chew marks you’re noticing…that will never happen again I keep them separated always now…..the weird colored lights you noticed are led grow lights for my plants ….I was just holding Milly near them for lighting for the pictures...

    Question for Tom the master

    I have realized now that when living in Maine a Sulcata was not a wise choice of tortoise’s or a cheap one. I would have been much better off with a smaller breed. Oh well live and learn…and I usually learn the hard way unfortunately. I will still do my best to give Milly a hopefully long and...

    Question for Tom the master

    Thank you all for your kindness and well wishes…I do my best and it is very hard all the time but I’ll keep my mom home and take care of her till the end. Just like my Dad. I just hope I don’t die before her because my good for nothing sister would put her in a home in a heartbeat. ‘You are all...

    Question for Tom the master

    Yea I just went through Hospice care with my father …he had cancer and died peacefully in his bed at home the way it should be…with loved ones around not nursing home or hospital staff taking care of him…I was taking care of him as my moms mind was going…she didn’t even grieve when he died...

    Question for Tom the master

    Ya know what….I wish someone would make one of those Kane ? Sp mats for smaller torts….the ones I use are small and short out fast. Once I was sitting on couch because I’m always home watch my mom and have no life to speak of and I start smelling smoke…I’m looking around trying to figure where...
