His pool/ sprinkler is so cute. Great idea. My Rock is in his own oasis. I bought a very large plant saucer and fill it with water. Tock
Loves his pool
Oh, I see what your issue is. I had a gate up and was told to cover it so Rock couldn’t see out or he would literally kill himself trying to get out. I covered the fence with fake greenery and problem solved. Try and find something pleasing to the eye, but will keep your tort from trying to get...
Taryn, you have built such a beautiful enclosure for your torts. It is very lush and welcoming. My guy is a desert tortoise and his enclosure is rock ( also his name) and dirt with a large palm tree. I hope you find someone knowledgeable to clear off the roof. I would probably try power washing...
Prayers for this little guy. He’s. The same size as my Rock. I’d be devastated if anything happened to Rock. My heart is already hurting for this baby. Please keep us updated
You are my DTT guru. I bought Rock a kiddy pool since he was getting to large for the kitchen sink. He loves it ( $6 at Walmart on sale). Hanson’s every other day for 1/2 hr or more and seems to really enjoy his pool time. The best investment, ever. This month ( September) he turns 6 years old...
I use a terracotta plant saucer also. They have worked out great for my grand-tort Rock. As he grows, I just get him a bigger saucer for his water. It’s easy for him to get into to soak & drink water and they are inexpensive and easy for Rock to climb into to drink and soak.
Happy almost Spring Tom. I’m letting you know that my dear Rock came out of his brumation a few days ago. I went to check on him and he was gone. I searched his entire enclosure and couldn’t find him. I went looking for him the next day and accidentally found him next to a rock 😄the same size as...
Thanks Karen. The only reason I’m leery of moving Rock ( his sister is Roll) is because he’s been in that deep hole for 2 weeks now and I don’t want to wake him. He is very secure and the tarp is secured. I’m deadly afraid of refrigerating him. I thought about doing that the first year they...
I went the the enclosure a few days ago to get Rock situated in his brumation cave. He had already dug himself a deep hole near the large palm tree. He looks well situated, so I didn’t disturb him I covered the whole area with a tarp and held it down with rocks to protect him from the wind and...
