Hi everyone! I have been absent from tortoiseforum.org for a few years-- and I apologize. Many of you may have known me as the user name "BuddysParents" and you're probably wondering why I did not simply log in under that name. Long story short, I had to create a new account thanks to a...

http://buffalo.craigslist.org/pet/1872127505.html I sent a text message a few minutes ago to this guy, to let him know he has some incorrect/misleading information about Sulcatas in his ad. People like him are the reasons why people see baby sulcatas and think, "OMG aww how cute! They are...

To the mods: I wasn't sure if I should put this thread under the "Enclosures" section or "General Tortoise Discussion"...If you feel that it should be moved to the Enclosures Section, please feel free to move & I apologize in advance...wasn't sure :shy: Okay, so I came home from work the other...

LOL, enjoy! :P

Yesterday afternoon, Nick and I went to the Allentown Art Festival in downtown Buffalo, NY for several hours. As always, the first thing we did when arriving home was check on our little tortoise. Poor girl was on her back, with her arms and legs kicking and flailing :( We flipped her back over...

...but I'm not sure if it really is or not. Looks like a Sulcata, which not the same thing as African Spur Thigh, right? Maybe I'm wrong... Don't know if he still has him or not, I was just browsing random CL ads. It's kind of sad though, the kid's story...

Nick and I went into a local pet store today after work (Just Pets in Irving, NY) just to browse around and look for smaller logs/hides/etc for Tilly. We happened to see this little guy, pacing back and forth frantically. He's in a super tiny aquarium setup, probably 10 gallons (or maybe even...

We got her Sunday afternoon. Her egg was laid 1-8-10, she hatched 3-5-10. That makes her just a little over three months old. She was incubated to be female...and on the car ride home, Nick and I decided on her name: Tilly :) We got her from a fellow TFO member, might I add: bettinge (Scott)...

Here's a bunch of pics right after I set him in his new home. He still needs a name, can't decide on one yet.

That's right folks! I can't make this first post in this thread very long, as I'm typing it on my Blackberry from the Petco parking lot. I walked in and saw this tort chowing down food, like hardcore eating. The tort seemed so full of energy and spunk (he, or I'm at least guessing it's a he, I...

I tried to put as much information about this post into the thread title, but it was pretty hard...Hopefully I get a lot of responses on this, well, both parts of it, as Nick and I are sort of stumped I guess you could say? As most of you know, Buddy died Friday (May 28th). We gave the little...

Hello everyone. I know it's been a few weeks since we've (Nick & I) have posted, but I have some sad news to pass along. Our baby boy, Buddy, whom we obtained in early April from a local couple who didn't take very good care of him...has passed away this afternoon, only a few minutes ago...

When we first got Buddy and then got him to the vet about a week later, he wasn't eating at all...The vet said it was most likely caused by his calcium deficiency, that it was slowly shutting down Buddy's organs and appetite; making his "guts and intestines" not digest and trigger the feeling of...

We live in Buffalo, NY and just got our first bunch of sunny, warm weather days about a week ago, so we decided to take Buddy outside in the yard for a bit. For those of you who don't know, Buddy was very sick when we first got him, but thanks to the advice to a lot of nice people on here and...

Hi everyone!!! Two weeks ago from yesterday, my boyfriend and I bought a baby sulcata from someone on Craigslist. My boyfriend has had hands on experience with several different kinds of tortoises growing up and we had a great deal of interest in raising one together for a while, so we...
