Hi...My 5 three toed box turtles have lived together for over a year with no problems. Yesterday, one of the 2 males started bullying a female. I assumed he was trying to breed her. He kept rolling her over & over. I moved him away from her and set her on her feet. He started following one of...
Hi...I received a fantastic birthday present yesterday...2 Russian eggs. They are my first tortoise eggs. Hope they are fertile. They were a bit cool...cause my house is cool with my furnace broken.
Also wanted to tell everyone I got my Forum t-shirts from Cory. I love them. He also sent seed...
I am so upset. I have become so forgetful since I had my surgeries 3 years ago.
Yesterday, even tho it was chilly (in the 50's) it was sunny. So I put my big Sulcata out in his corral to do some grazing while I went to town to do a couple of errands. It took longer than expected. We were...
My grandchildren spent last night and today with me so their parents could finish shopping. It has been raining most of the day. All my critters are inside for about a month til the coldest weather passes. It is a bit difficult for me to carry them all out & in every day cause of my arthritis...
Hi...I have a new Sulcata!! S/He is a year old. I got Kamesan from Paxton...grimm_reaper. She left DE last Mon at 3pm and arrived here at 9:30am the next day. She is active, eating, & roaming her enclosure. And so very pretty!! Will get pics this week.

Hi all...Just wanted to brag a bit!!
My friend who is also a wildlife rescuer & rehabber, asked me to take 7 box turtles that all needed vet care. She was struggling while going thru a divorce. I live 5 miles from the vet and she lives about 40 miles, so it is much easier for me to get them to...
Hi...Just wanted to tell somebody who will understand how excited I am about my new arrivals. A friend of mine who is a wildlife rehabber of box turtles, gopher tortoises, and opposum babies is having health problems of her own. She messaged me yesterday to see if I could take 8 box turtles...

Hi...I rescued a Sulcata last year who has bad pyramids. He was kept in a corral with junk & wire in it. There was no water source and no grazing, just dirt. He had been chewed by their dobermans. Luckily his flesh wasn't injured...just his shell.
Anyway, the guy told me it was a female...
Hi...Just wanted to tell you all I acquired some new critters this weekend. The vet I used to work for called Fri to see if I could rehome a 3 legged box turtle cause her owner had to have surgery that would leave her laid up for several weeks. I asked her if she wanted me to just foster care...

Hi...I had a scare today. I went out to check my outdoor pens this morning. I was gone all day yesterday. I couldn't find one of the Russian females. The pen is only about 8' x 14'. It is an oval shape made of aluminum flashing with bricks around the bottom to help keep them from digging out...
Since my Sulcata chewed her pen down to the dirt, I was looking for something that I could plant that will grow now. At Walmart I found Deer Grazer Wildgame Mixture. It includes:
39.5% Wintergrazer 70 Rye
29.5% Wheat
14% Iron & lay Cowpeas
10% Browntop Millet
3% Haifa Clover
2% Inert...
I still have about 5 lbs of "Zoo Med's All Naural Adult Iguana Food"... and no iguanas. Can I use it for Sulcatas, Leopards, Gophers, and/or Redfoots?
Ingredients of the pellets are:
sun-dried alfalfa, wheat bran, soybean meal, collard & mustard greens, kale, spirulina, glycerin, natural...
