Thanks for posting. Rainy season is starting up where I live, but I NEED to do something like this for next dry season. Seems totally doable here. :)

Awesome....it looks great. I LOVE upcycling!! Both of my tortoise enclosures were free (well, I did pay for some of the things *in* them...the water dishes / pools, but that's about it).

Hahaha....best. title. ever. And of course, they're beautiful. ❤️

His shell is beautiful. And I know what you mean about measuring them. hahaha. It took both my daughter and I together, to get a decent measurement. Silly torts. :) Anyway, thanks for sharing!

You're too cute. Belle is my baby....I love her SO MUCH!! I love them all, of course...but I have the hugest soft spot for her. I live in a climate where they're outside year round, so it makes it very easy to care for the larger ones...I now have 4 adults, and LOVE watching them roam...

RE: the new "what do you look like" thread Aww....I love the old pics. LOVE.

Thank you! They seem to be enjoying the yard....they have all been busy munching on grass and weeds all afternoon! :)

I haven't been on here much in the last 2 months....and one thing I missed the most was seeing your pictures!! This purple guy is my favourite. :)

Thanks. I was kind of thinking female. I'm a little disappointed, as the lady was supposed to bring me 1 male and 2 females (not that I can complain, as they were given to me, free of cost). I realized after that she doesn't really know much about tortoises....she just has a bunch that she...

While I was at my last vet appointment with my injured yearlings, I had a chance encounter with a lady who has several adult redfoots, and was looking to downsize....she asked if I would be willing take some. Of course!! So today, I became the proud new owner of 3 more...

Aww....he's so sweet!! And you're adorable! I love all the pictures! How long is Paco?

Oh...it was awful!! Seeing the bone was scary....and honestly, Hiccup looked so bad, I didn't think he was going to make it. Funny thing is, he healed more quickly because he's more of a fighter (I've actually had him separated from the other hatchlings for a long time, because he's a...

Thanks everyone! I'm just so thankful everything turned out the way it did. :) .....that's exactly how it's going to be. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't sleep, knowing they were outside...even in a "predator proof" enclosure.

Thanks! Pickles and Hiccup are missing all their front toes, and Hiccup is missing most of the his red spots, but they're still beautiful. <3

Thank you. Yes...they're going amazing. And I agree...I'm pretty sure I'll still take them in at night, for peace of mind.

Thanks. And me too. I'm actually scared to even try it out. My friend who's building it, has had great luck with his....he's a real perfectionist as well. I have a feeling I'll still be bringing them in at night.

Dobby is beautiful!! And your enclosure is great! Good job!

So, back in November, two of my yearling redfoots (Pickles and Hiccup) were attacked and sustained injuries. They both had the front of their front legs eaten to the bone (it was awful seeing bone exposed), and injuries to their shell. Hiccup's shell damage was much worse than Pickles...

Thanks sissyofone...I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I lost 4 hatchlings to this predator along the way, so I carry a lot of feelings of guilt. Now all the small torts are kept inside, and have only supervised outside time. Pets101, that's exactly what it sounds like. The other ones we lost...

Thanks! I love the last one too. In the first 2, I was trying to show his healing leg wound. The bandage came off, and it's looking pretty good (considering bone was exposed a week ago).
