    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    Again with the word parsing. I never said I mentioned other tortoises or the rescue in my introduction. I ask you why would I? It was an intro to a specific tortoise. I also didn’t mention the make/model of my car—not important. I never attempted to sit atop a high horse rather I have been...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    I realize what I said. I did mention many years experience with tortoises of various types, rounded to fifty give or take a few. Yes, we placed him in an enclosure outside isolated and then in a population. Please if you are going to quote me do so correctly. After about two years he was not...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    Please ignore me, I have no interest in communicating with you. Seems you yourself have the patent on rudeness, defensiveness and adolescent childishness. You seem to exemplify exactly that which you suggest I am. You have no clue about how we care for this and the other tortoises in our...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    In fact he does enjoy napping in a dog bed, with one of the dogs. I actually do not feel like sharing photos on this forum being told we in this facility do not know what we are doing. After being told by one member unless I post pictures my initial post is all lies. Well, I don’t need to...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    Hi, yes I agree. I was with you until “azzhatry”, what is that? It seems nothing I have posted has been read and understood. I was disappointed by your telling me, ”...so yes you are keeping him alive they are trying to help you do it safely, nothing else matters.” I wasn’t surprised by the...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    Thanks for the first descent post. I have many pictures as illustrations for our program showing this tortoise’s peculiar behavior. I can handle scrubbing the information though it’s not necessary. Prior to the first response by the forum elites I would have been glad to share however I no...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    Thanks for the new monicker, “Seasoned Scientist”. I think I will change my screen name using two upper case “S” letters.

    I actually did not understand your message. Except telling me pictures are required as proof. Learn to type...

    Too bad you are being closed minded. Remember one who ignores is ignorant.

    Why would pictures please your curiosity more than the descriptive post?

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    So, don’t poke...please. Even before your suggestion I had read the many post of devastation, examples supporting the mantra that all dogs do not mix with any tortoises. But even before joining this forum I was aware of the dangers to both. Yes, I would not suggest mixing unless you are a...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    As I said you and your forum expert know nothing about my education, professional experiences/knowledge or much else. Stick by your comments if you wish, that is choice. I likely have forgotten more than you know about animal husbandry. Yes, I really have fifty years experience in answer to...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    Wow, so many experts. In reply to all who are all knowing, well intentioned. I am not inexperienced with tortoises as you think. After fifty years of experience I will trust my understanding of these animals. As I mentioned this IS a unique case, I have never owned a tortoise in those years...

    Hello from Florida—Introducing Bob, our adopted red foot

    Several years ago Bob arrived at my back door, lost and homeless. He had apparently been wandering around for a good while before finding us. His shell had been damaged in a few places but was already healing well. Looked like something tried to eat him. At first he was in a nice big...
