    Long story short

    Here is a google earth view from who knows how long ago because there is a couple other buildings on the property as well. But the blue is our house. The yellow is the Quonset when everyone is set up. And the red is a dug out.

    Long story short

    Do you want to come design a property for me. Unfortunately it’s not that lavish. An older mobile on a property with a heated Quonset. And some farmland. Might look into getting some cattle in the spring

    I will definitely be posting some pictures in the spring. Needs a little TLC and like 3 feet less of snow lol

    Long story short

    I honestly think I’m the one that made that post as well lol. Had I known about the well I would have searched documents and checked references. I’m a land surveyor for oil and gas. However the well was not in our title

    Long story short

    Maybe some of you have realized our absence within the last month or so but we’re back. We had an incident which meant we got screwed over by one of the biggest oil providers in the province with a well that had not been reclaimed properly that ended up leaking and contaminated our soil. Because...

    Tortoise Blog

    Care sheets on our website are the basic care information. And what says that we haven’t been raising tortoises for many many years. Yes the account says I’m 19.

    Tortoise Blog

    Hi there, our care sheets are based of our research and information, there’s a lot of opinions on care that don’t work for everyone. Especially where we’re located. The Greek/sulcata error is a button error on wix I just have to change the link. Oops

    Flipping

    Food is in there until it’s eaten. He’s smaller than a tennis ball in a 3 foot by 6 foot space. It’s not the space theory. And there’s a foot of snow on the ground so he’s in his enclosure all the time. As free roaming is unsafe especially as he’s less than 100 grams

    Flipping

    There’s no way of us knowing the incubation temperatures but yes he cannot right himself

    Flipping

    It’s the only baby they have. So I’m assuming so I can’t speak for the others.

    Flipping

    He’s roughly 6cm long. If anything extra is put in the enclosure he’s upside down in minutes. 3x6 is plenty for a young Hermanns. The thing that gets us is we’ve both seen torts the size of roomies managing to right themselves on their own but he can’t. He just lays there and doesn’t move.

    Flipping

    Is there a way to teach a tortoise to right itself we have been contacted by an individual that has a tortoise that will not stop flipping over so far they have tried placing stones to help him flip himself back over and he has the bare minimum in his 3x6 enclosure. However now he flips himself...

    It's painfully obvious to me now,

    Good Morning (well where I am), what have you been feeding? I have a little one with similar eating and weight gain habits what really got him going was mazuri. I made sure to feed it 3 times a week and he started putting on weight and really perked up. Now he eats mostly greens but has mazuri...

    Discussion

    Out of curiosity. What made you choose a tortoise as a pet? How did you get your first? How many do you have now? What’s your ultimate tortoise goal?
