Oh and happy birthday!!!

That scute at That front scute looks like a smiley face! Adorable. Don’t apologise for tortoise mess! Mine is on coir by itself so things get messy quickly. It’s honestly a really smart setup you’ve got there. Probably way more budget friendly considering you have to upgrade eventually too! Are...

Still stinks even if you have that “fresh Alpine grass”

Haha maybe you’re just used to the manure smell since you have a horse. I hate it.

Lukewarm for about 15 minutes I’d say. Not too hot. Think of it as a baby.

We’re making cute little sugar addicts out of our tortoises ?

I’m not implying there’s something wrong with my tortoise. I just thought it might be more.... well... poop like

That is a whole lot of stuff for a little pellet. ??? Might as well just feed grass I reckon. Random thought. Does a tortoise that has had less of a weed and grass diet have difficulty digesting higher fiver foods if they’re switched over? Seems like my tortoises poop is just poorly digested...

Why do you think your tortoise is so picky? Maybe they’ve discovered the secret to tortoise MSG somewhere in there. My tortoise seems to love his fresh greens much more than the grass and it took a few weeks of coaxing and mixing to get him to eat the grass that’s good for him so I wonder if...

It’s about 4’5 x 2’ Aww it’s like a little cave in there! Do you close it all up at night? What kind of tortoise are you keeping? Do they play with that ball?

Oh!Yeah they’re little pots.he seems to enjoy digging in a more confined space

Thanks! They’re old balcony hanging pots. Really good as hides and he climbs them too!

I just did a bit of a clean up of the substrate in the tank and I’m kinda digging it right now. I know I’m going to have a lot of fun giving him a big outdoor garden eventually. All the plants are fake except for the grass. He likes hanging out on the elevated bit and digging down into the hide...

...Father? Is that you?

They do yellow watermelon as a speciality where I’m from. Wasn’t alive in the 70’s to compare unfortunately. But I hope you find the OG

Its a really fascinating topic. What you’re saying makes a lot of sense. There really seems to be a lack of clear information on how young tortoises spend their lives in the wild. But I guess everything comes together with proper husbandry anyway!

I recently saw footage of the shell of a large dead sulcata which had some minor pyramiding. It was interesting to note that the keratin layer of the shell was surprisingly thin and just below that layer was the bone of the shell which had warped to match the shape of the pyramiding. As a whole...

That’s a sexy tortoise you’ve got there. Great job!

Happy for you I get that they’re floaty, which is adorable but I’m sure it’s not where they’d prefer to be ?
