This is going to be hard because I’ve had him for so long and I know I’m going to miss him following me around the yard like a puppy. I just read another tread that is making me nervous about who I give it to...

I may have to move out of CA and I don't know anyone who can adopt him. I really don't know how to go about this and I'm hopping I can find a responsible person in the Southern CA High desert. I've had him for 10 years and he is used to hibernating outside every year.

Well, my DT seems to be enjoying his daily soaking and today he even had a good portion of food along with wild grass and weeds. I’ve allowed him complete freedom of my yard since he woke up and he has been camping out the last week in different spots around the yard. I was a little worried...

I added some more water and he doesn't seem to mind it, but tomorrow I try to arrange it so that his head is a little higher than the back

Ok well he isn't fighting it, but I really don't know how much water to put in.

I couldn’t find anything large enough yesterday and then a neighbor gave me a small cement mixing tub last night, but my tort was already heading in to sleep. The mixing tub looks pretty clean so I’m going to soak him this morning. He has been pretty active exploring the whole yard like it’s all...

My DT came out after over 5 month hibernation 4 days ago and hasn’t drank anything. I expected him to be drinking up as much as he could, but he’s just not interested. He did eat a teaspoon of wet food yesterday and some grass, but it just doesn’t seem like enough. I had him over 10 years and...

Sorry, I was just having fun. I figured you would have something like that

I originally bought the regular spring traps, but they were too messy. I really like these new electronic traps because you just pick up the trap and dump the rat in the garbage with no blood or guts. I did have some around my pond the last time I had this problem years ago and that’s when I had...

WOW! You mean on the shelf next to the Thanksgiving turkey? LOL

Yes but I just don't have the room to do it and I'm glad for the hibernation because he takes to much time. When I first got my tortoise about 10 years ago, I used to put him in the garage and it was kind of a hassle trying not to disturb him. I now have turned my garage into a complete work...

I haven't caught any more since the one big fat one. Today I'm going to move the traps around to see if that helps. I can't wait for the extra 2 traps I ordered to come in.

Wow! I haven't seen any mice yet and I hope I don't have many rats I can rid the place of them. We used to have a hawk nesting nearby, but they vanished last year and now I'm wondering if the rats didn't eat the eggs. I forgot about them chewing through things although my tortoise burrow is...

Its kind of funny that i have a rat because I've always hated them. When my daughter was a teen she hid a caged pet rat in her room so I wouldn't find out, but I had to fix something in her room and that dam rat scared the heck out of me.

This is one of my main concerns, but I think the electronic trap will work well were i have it. I ordered 2 more trap that's supposed to delivered next Tuesday.

One of my dogs killed a rat 10 yrs ago and I should have suspected something because the dogs dug a huge hole under my shed. The last time when we had them I moved everything off the ground so the dogs would have full acces to the yard and all the hiding places. I read that these rats like to...

It was climbing on top of my Lady Banks Roses bordering my property. I’m used to it full of small birds and was surprised by the way my dogs were carrying on. At first I thought it was a squirrel which I have seen under a shed out back, but then I noticed droppings on the block wall. Anyway I...

Well I would have never guessed Crickets. I haven't come across any although I'm sure there are some someplace around here. I have probably hundreds of black widow spiders and I only kill the ones that are out in the open that might harm my grand kids. I know they eat a lot of bugs and even...

I doubt that mine will because he is so picky, He will hardly eat anything that's different than his regular food or fruit.

I haven't seen any ants on it and I'm happy to say there aren't any tortoise or squirrel tracks although it has only been 2 days. I have some DE left over from a pool filter that I would like to use for those Asian cockroaches that live outside, but was afraid to use it around the tortoise...
