Anna is just wonderful, she is lucky to have such an experienced keeper. The set up looks great. Can only look and admire as we can not get many torty in New Zealand.

OMG he has his own boom-box in the back, rock that torty

Great photo

Cool photo

Dashshunds, I have them also, cool little dogs.

Thanks Zero, I have done a reconnoiter of my farm and found the weed variety of Purslane in great numbers, will harvest for torty in due course.

I'm still on the bandwagon researching the toxicity of Pratia angulate or Lobelia Pedunculata (formally - Pratia Pedunculata), it is native to Australia and commonly found in great abundance in New Zealand's bush and grasslands. It would appear that the Winter fruit are considered toxic though...

Just beautiful, you take really nice photos.

Thanks leopard - I'm digging it out today!!

Thanks lochroma I have taken on board what you say. I have done quite a bit of googling since your post and I see that there over 450 different varieties of Lobelia. The one in question appears to be native to New Zealand and Australia, I thought it must have been ok as our native birds and Weta...

Tort's are very happy grazing the lobelia, no adverse reactions so must be A OK for them.

Chris - You are going to fall off your perch when I tell you this. I just brought a rising three year old three toed turtle in New Zealand for $1,000.NZD = $618 EUR. And that was a cheap one! I told the breeder that I would take two and when I saw how small they were I decided to only take the...

Waves hello. Lots of very helpful peeps here and lots of very good information on the forum.

Hi dbhannah - Welcome - I am from New Zealand also, Palmerston North. Thought I was the only Kiwi here. I have 2 x two year old Hermann's and a rising three year old three toed Box. I have ordered two Greek's that I will get late 2015 (cant wait). Your tort's are looking very happy chaffing out...

Thanks bouaboua - This larger table gives the torts plenty of exercise, I cant believe how fast they can hoon around the place, look away for two minutes and they are off like robbers dogs...lol. They also love to climb! cheeky wee things.

Oops! was suppose to be 'three years old in 2015' Cant seen to edit my post.

Ok that's cool, my 3T is going to be three years old in February 2014, that's what the breeder told me. Would be interesting to know when the ridge goes, guess he will grow it out soon. :)

Hi Wellington - The plastic is clear polycarbonate and is to let in light and add interest. The table has two lids, one with wire netting on and the other with polycarbonate plastic roof. You can lift either depending on what combination you want. We have just had a big down pour of rain and...
