    caboose has soft stools

    Today my redfoot baby had really watery pop. About a week ago I noticed it was softer than usual but not consistently. Sometimes its normal so im not sure what might be causing this. Any ideas? The past week he's eaten kale, collard greens, dandelion, chicory, endive, and a little bit of...

    so i went to the reptile expo and caved

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75gdTHbhRFk&sns=em Red vs blue Caboose is the blue guy. We were gonna name him after the red guy but sarge was just too serious a name. Caboose is goofy and it just fits. Caboose writes his name on a wall in one episode and spells it wrong, hence cabose with one...

    But at least he was one of the two species I was torn between :) I really had my heart set on an emys but I saw my little redfoot and he was so curious and friendly I just melted. Ill post pictures in a minute. Anyway, we named him Cabose (caboose with one o - cookies for whoever gets the...

    Burmese Brown vs Redfoot...desicions decisions!

    I was not aware so I thank you. Theres not as much info available as many other torts so Im relying heavily on what I learn here. I am, however, confident in my ability to care for a more fragile animal. I have much experience in animal husbandry. From my own personal experiences with...

    Burmese Brown vs Redfoot...desicions decisions!

    so I got the aok from landlady/mother-in-law for the tortoise! All I had to do was show her a cute picture. Who knew she loved tortoises? And I definitely have my heart set on the burmese brown. If I can't find one at the expo Ill be back to ask advice on having one shipped safely to me. I'M SO...

    Burmese Brown vs Redfoot...desicions decisions!

    Its the biggest expo in new england so Im hoping to find both. "Pretty-ness" really isnt a factor for me. Im looking more for personality so if I find a redfoot thats all over the place and curious then yeah, that will be who I take home but if I DO see an emrys it will be quite difficult to choose.

    Burmese Brown vs Redfoot...desicions decisions!

    Burmese Brown vs Redfoot...desicions decisions!

    :) We are actually renting the house from my boyfriend's mother. We're honestly waiting for him to finish school before getting married. We're staying here until then and then we are moving out to Montana and building our own house. Life IS uncertain and things can always get messed up along...

    Opinions Wanted: help me find the perfect tortoise!

    This is exactly why Im here. I want to learn! :) And I should have worded it better but I was mainly refering to the humidity intolerance though I could still be misinformed. The species that have caught my eye dont hibernate to my knowledge. Everything Ive read has said this anyway. And...

    Burmese Brown vs Redfoot...desicions decisions!

    If there arent any other tortoises that meet or dont exceed the personality/weight/size that the Burmese Brown or redfoot do, I think these two species are what Ive narrowed my possibilities down to. Permitting I get the AOK from the landlady... I want to hear stories! Funny things your...
