    Tort habitat fire burns down house

    Not all of the house but a big part- and the in identified breed pair died. Doesn't sound like it was a safe habitat. Sounds like the couple loved them a lot and tried, but moveable heater n wood shavings aren't a safe combination...

    Tort outdoor habitat finally complete- I think ;)

    Very time I think our outdoor habitat is all done, my wonderful husband comes up with a way to improve it. Torts just shake their head when they see him walking in it with new plans, lol.

    Damaged Shell First Aid?

    His is really a turtle question, but I was hoping to pick the brains of the tort experts that I already know and trust. There is a box turtle we like to call George who appears to have adopted our yard ( not tort enclosure). He had been wandering around our pond and basking for months. Didn't...

    Zoo visit made me sad

    I was looking forward to seeing the Galapagos Island tortoise new exhibit when we too my husband's grandson on his first trip to the zoo over the weekend. The Cincinnati Zoo is one of the nicest in the country, really focused on conservation, but I think they really dropped the ball with the...

    Spring Mix Freaks!

    I think my Tort jist cursed at me!

    Babette was lounging by the fern in their indoor enclosure then decided to walk a bit and started to eat dirt. I said "Babette" ( insert parental tone to misbehaving child" she stopped, looked at me a squawked loud enough for my daughter to hear her upstairs! She was not happy, but stopped...

    Corn Husks

    An Sulcatas eat corn husks. Just ventured into my kitchen for the first time this week and made some ears of corn. wondered if my girls could eat the husks. Planted a fern in their enclosure today after finding one from the edible landscaping list that was organically grown. Babette LOVED it...

    Mazuri Angst

    I have tried EVERYTHING possible to get Babette and Scarlet to eat at least a little Mazuri. I have very stubborn girls, especially Babs. The only luck I have had at all is crunching some up and sprinkling it like croutons onto their greens and grass. Babs does her best to shake it all off the...

    Almost Afraid to rehome this one

    I should know better than to glance at the craigslist ads in the marketplace by now. They are usually very upsetting. Saw a woman trying to regime a male fairly close to where I live and emailed her. The tort actually does not look really bad, considering his diet and enclosure. She seems like...
