Figured it’s update time since Herbie will be turning 2 in 2 weeks. He weights close to 12lbs. He spends his life doing tortoise things. Lots of outside time in the sun, snacking, throwing dirt on his shell and adventuring. This is his relaxing space. Has everything he needs. Little “pool”...

Hello my lovely tortoise friends. I am posting a photos of a “7” year old “female?” Artemis. This is not my tortoise I am asking for some people. Artemis woke up, won’t eat and has visible RI - clear for now. Enclosure is Amazon open box, no UVB, heat feels like low 70s. Had swollen eyes. I...

Hello our tortoise friends, It has been a while, life got a bit crazy but it is so good. Herbie is 15 months now. “He” is 1800g (3.9lbs). Enjoys all the food, we able to get cactus pads as well. I kept throwing left overs all around the yard and now we have a cactus growing in random places -...

Today was a beautiful day in PNW. Took Pixel (2 year old) and Truffle (5 months) out to the park. They had a blast. Pixel - bordoodle Truffle - mini Bernedoodle - she was an unexpected addition to our family. Our neighbor had to get rid of her dogs. I could not say no to that sweet face.

Hello, Just wanted to post an alert for people about scam on Facebook. They are called Lovely Tortoise. They are responding to messages. I talk to Dashes owner via Instagram. https://instagram.com/dash_the_sulcata?utm_medium=copy_link They are aware of this but we want to spread the word to...

I have seen many posts on enclosure plants, on what is safe for a tort and so on. I went to HD and I got some kale seedlings last week. First of all I some them for some time to loosen up the roots and second of all.... soaking allows me to remove pretty much most of all the styrofoam (guess...

Spring is here and I absolutely love seeing Herbie outside enjoying his tortoise travels and eating his treats while enjoying the sun. Since he is way to small to let him be in the grass I have decided to build an outdoor box where he can be safe, have some roaming space and has no way to dig...

Pixel just wanted to share some pictures from an adventure we took last weekend. Hope you all enjoy some of the PNW beauty.

Last few days were so beautiful in WA. I have Herbie’s outdoor clover box on a patio so as soon the sun is out it warms it up. It’s like a 3x3 box that I grew clovers for him so we have it for winter but since it has a wire lid it is perfect now for getting some safe and secure outdoor feeding...

Today I have decided to cook some pho. Sent some pictures to my friends and they were sure Herbie became part of the soup. Just had to share this because it’s too funny. ps. Herbie is doing just fine and he is not a part of the soup ?

Just wanted to share some photos I took. No the owls and eagles are not my pets but I want to show them off ?? Just few shots hope you guys enjoy it.

Oh boy, I have miss the forum. I have looked here and there but was not able to spend much time as school work for wild. With all “online” learning it’s hard to grasp some of the concepts and not able to ask professors and classmates face to face is really difficult. Herbie seems to be doing...

My torts enclosure is made from plywood - it is not sealed as I know I will have to upgrade it before it even has a chance to be gross. However I would like to wipe it down with chlorhexidine solution (mixed with h2o), as I want to change his substrate to add more since he loved to dig. How...

Hello, Quick question is there any other option of paying for a membership than PayPal ? Thank you

Since today we had no smoke, it rained for two days I let Herbie adventure the planter box with me while I picked some cucumbers. This is how it went. Ps. No, nothing has been ever sprayed or added.

Please tell me I am not the only one who is excited to wake up “late” on Saturday and see that her tortoise gave himself a soak and pooped. It’s the best morning ever !! ??

Hey guys, I am reading that there is Mazuri (called original one I guess) and there is the Mazuri LS. I have the LS - it’s not main food for Herbie more so add on to his weeds. Is there a difference between the two and does it impact directly tortoise health. Thank you
