Kongs are super easy to clean, soak them in hot water, a little soap, rinse well and they're squeaky clean. They can also go in the dishwasher and get super clean that way (if you have a dishwasher, I just do mine by hand, I like to splash around in the sink). I think this is a great idea...

Many thanks to both of you. I did a little googling around and saw dog houses made out of the material, so I'm at least sure that more than decks can be made with it. :D To be honest, I'm so antsy to get indoor and outdoor enclosures made that I have a feeling I'll be unable to resist going to...

I've been mulling over outdoor enclosures, looking to see what I could build for my (still prospective, as I'm aiming to have everything I need completely built first) tortoise. Right now on my deck, I have two large wheeled planters my grandfather built for us that look suspiciously like...

How cute! My day was a little bit gloomy, but seeing that little baby put a big smile on my face. :)

Exactly... it's the recovery and distance that helps a story that could be almost tear-worthy at the time become funny. I worked in a really "rough" school... I've had ten year-old boys as tall as I am get up in my face furiously yelling. :rolleyes: Funny now, then... terrifying! I think that's...

I keep checking this thread hoping there will be good news and a found tortoise! As someone who's experienced a hamster break out a time or two, I can understand the frustration... unfortunately, it seems like hamsters leave more of a trail of evidence (or at least make more noise) than a...

Oh man, I had such a different experience when I was a substitute teacher and working my way through grad school. I was SURE that I wanted to teach 4th or 5th grade, and then when I started subbing I quickly changed my mind-- the 4th and 5th graders I had were impossibly sassy. And then I spent...

RE: Sulcata running away from home... Thanks! It's one of my own illustrations from a little comic.

RE: Sulcata running away from home... You guys are ridiculous... back to Bob's antics. I think it's crazy how a tortoise, who seems to have such low ground clearance, could climb over the rubble he created, up and down all of those steps and make a break for it without getting seriously hurt...

Thank you all! I do look forward to becoming more of a part of the community, there's so much valuable information and a lot of great opinions. (And pigs are just fine with me, especially cute hopping ones.)

I thought I'd say hello since I've been lurking on this site for a couple of weeks now without (typing) a peep. I'm Manda, and my tortoise is... a mere twinkle in my eye right now. :P Here's my story: I've loved tortoises for years, but I'm very meticulous, and while I was in college (and...
