    Kodama’s 2nd Birthday!

    My little princess is 2 years old this month! Last December I was finally able to buy a house and it’s on an acre of land filled with all the grass and weeds she could ever eat. I just weighed her today and she is 11.4 pounds! Happy Birthday Kodama!!!

    My tortoise ate a crocus!

    my tortoise was outside today for about 15 minutes. I left my boyfriend to watch him in the yard while I wound the hose back up and when I came back my boyfriend showed me a picture of my baby eating a yellow flower.

    Guessing age by weight?

    When we got little Kame, he was supposed to be a lot smaller than he is. The place I bought him from is apparently notorious for giving people tortoises different ages than what they bought (found this out after). I’m trying to figure out exactly how old he is. Any ideas? I just bought a scale...

    Alarming behavior in hatchling

    Since I got him my little guy he has been rubbing his face. It has become more consistent lately. I thought maybe it was because I was misinformed and started with walnut shell as his substrate. We removed that and replaced it with coco. This has not solved the issue, it has gotten worse. On...

    Is night time heat needed for a Sulcata hatchling?

    I know it needs sun during the day and dark at night, but do I leave my ceramic heater on 24/7 or do I turn that off at night as well? I keep seeing contradicting answers.

    Hello from Washington State!

    Yesterday I became a proud mommy of a little baby African Spurred tortoise. I have been researching these guys for months to make sure I was as prepared as possible. I just joined this group so I could learn from people who have raised these guys from hatchlings. If anyone has experience with...
