RE: Another Dog Story (Why tortoises and dogs DO NOT MIX. No exceptions!) I once caught my Wire Fox Terrier chewing on my box turtle. After that I put up a heavy duty fence to keep them separated. The fence is tall with points at the top. I don't even have a gate so I have to climb over it...

So how fast will these little guys grow?

Great shots. I especially love your backyard set up. :D

What a sweet little guy.

Thanks. Last year I had 11 babies and I adopted them all out but one. Bentley is the only little guy left. With the temperatures in the 80's in Arizona he loves being outside. If it gets too cold or hot I'll bring him back in. [hr] There's a spot where I have wooden stakes with a heavy...

The little guy always hides in the same place. So far none of the adults have messed with him but if I find he's not doing well I'll bring him back inside.

So here are the photo's of my turtles eating worms. Budder my three legged turtle was the first to dive in (no surprise there). Owen was next and after I climbed out of the pen the others grabbed a worm and ran.

What a cutie! It looks like you have a wonderful setup.

Here's my photo of "Pancake" my four year old Sulcata. He couldn't resist taking the flower from my hand.

Nope, she didn't come out yesterday but this morning I caught her eating the corn.

It was early morning when I saw them so maybe they all just peed/pooped around the same time. thanks for your comments.

Just wait until I get the worms...then she'll climb over everyone else to get one. [hr] They never perform when you need them too.

Good to know...thanks

Sounds like you have a great tort family. Welcome!

Recently I visited a turtle/tortoise rescue and when I got to the Leopard Tortoises enclosure I noticed a strange odor. Since there were other species of tortoises in the next enclosure that didn't smell it made me think. Do Leopard Tortoises produce an odor?

Looks like a girl to me. No wait after seeing the other photo's it's a male.

Tonight I thought I'd feed my turtles a special treat. I don't feed them corn very often but I had a can open so it was their lucky day. "Budder" my food motivated female usually comes running when she hears my voice. This evening it must have been too late because she wouldn't come out of...

Wow...you're living the dream. I love the photo and it's like you have living dinosaurs in your backyard.

That's so sad. I had no idea that more than one turtle could be in an egg.
