I don't have a 'pup' to plant so would it be the same idea as cactus pads where you can cut some and let it heal over and then plant? Jaba seems to dislike it anyway she had a couple of tastes of it & walked away something Jaba would never normally do until it was all gone if she liked it...

I put a photo thread in the general by mistake, I wrote to Mark but he went offline :( Sorry.. Here it is http://tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Jaba-s-Garden-redfoot

We just moved into a different apartment further south on the island.. Our landlord is away at the moment so things are a bit unkempt but you get the idea.. :D Jaba & her most dearest Hibiscus.. ❤ (Jaba is circled @ the bottom) Jaba & some Aloe Jaba's Papaya tree :)...

Marty I'd love to hear about your greyhounds,,, are they rescues or do your family race them.. or ?? Got any pictures?

I'm soo happy right now! I don't know why.... we have just moved, do you think it's early moving happiness? Will it go away? I love feeling like this... Jaba is just in Jaba heaven too with 2 huge hibiscus trees by our bedroom window. We also have banana trees & papaya not sure what else...

do you think anyone would buy a tortoise or find one and think it was a turtle and put it in a lake,river or ocean thinking it could swim? Or want to keep it as a pet and keep it in water!! My neighbour came over she is from New Jersey, I told her Jaba was a tortoise and she said well does...

Or vacationing here? Would love a calender but our mail system is very corrupt and I dont' have an actual address either... no point if it's going to get stolen anyway.. So yeah if someone is heading this way.... Let Me Know I can meet you on the beach :D

Jaba lives on the Caribbean island of Antigua so humidity & heat/cold are not a problem we do not have air conditioning and rely on the ocean breeze. This is her outdoor oasis, we live on the second floor. The plants I had lots & these are the few stragglers I found are not deadly to torts...

named Jaba... She has a yellow/almost white nose and orange cheeks... my pretty girl! She is always fed 'sugary fruit' on a plate as I worry it will attract ants on her slate, I have just had to throw away 2 bags of Sphagnum moss from her outdoor enclosure as the ants...

SOooo as I have mentioned Jaba escaped her enclosure the other day.. http://tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Grass-is-Greener This morning I spent two hours lugging breeze blocks up into her outdoor enclosure so she wouldn't escape I put marble tops on the corner pieces so she wouldn't shimmy up the...

So once your tortoise has escaped and he/she realizes the grass really isnt' greener after all... do they still keep trying to escape? Jaba escaped today, I thought she might she was being really mischievious this morning as it was... It's not a big deal for her as she is on our balcony which...

Please write what type of Tortoise you have.. RedFoot Today Jaba has had 2 Hibiscus Leaves & a slice of Cactus Pad. It's still morning here so she will have some Escarole mid afternoon. We went down to the grass to pick our own leaves but I think it stressed her out too much, when we...

So it is currently 86 F. but the heat index (what the temperature feels like to humans) taking into consideration humidity etc is 95 F. So what temperature is it for the tortoise do they feel the human way and feel it's 'like' 95F or ??

This is the Sun Bulb Company out of Arcadia Florida.. As some of you know I live on the tiny island of Antigua, I have been using Sphagnum moss for Jaba's night time bedding, but she always ends up on the plastic bottom of her night time habitat (Rubbermaid type). I saw a bag of this...

I know Papaya is fine, but what about the Papaya tree leaves are they good?

In your opinion is it better to have one or at least 2 Red foots? I always thought they were solitary animals, but looking on here it seems the latest trend is having more than one. The person that has my old tortoise got a friend for it and said the two of them do everything together and...

Ok, I have gone back and forth with this to the point now I guess Jaba is too young but still I'll throw it out there... I had thought male at first just because I kind of wanted a male after I thought my last tortoise was a female (new owner tells me that she's a he now.. ) Then I thought...

I wasn't sure where to post this but since it pertains to my RF I think it is best suited in here. Just looked at our weather & humidity is at 94% and it's only 7.30am... it's going to be one of those days that I wish I were a RF.. lol.. Ok to my question... Jaba spends her day in a pen on...
