    Denver, Colorado 2 greeks for adoption

    Hi Dana, Thanks so much for your interest in our greek torts. I have been lazy in closing out our adoption post, my apologies. Our torts were adopted by a fellow forum member, Eweezyfosheezy. We drove to Arizona and delivered the torts mid-June. Ha ha, Highlands Ranch would've been much...

    Denver, Colorado 2 greeks for adoption

    It seems like forever since I've been on here . . . it's nice to see some familiar names! My youngest is heading off to college and unfortunately will only be able to take one tort with her to the dorms. The sad part is that we will have to adopt out her two other tortoises. They are a male...

    local sacramento person with a hibiscus plant

    We live in northern Colorado and last summer I purchased a small hibiscus tree from Walmart, I think. It bloomed all summer long, beautiful salmon-colored flowers. I kept it on the porch and never did dig a hole and plant it in the ground since I don't think hibiscus plants can survive our...

    Be Honest...as cute as Bob, no?

    How cute! Wow, it looks like he really spread his mazuri pile around. How much do you give him for a feeding Yvonne? Our greeks only eat a couple of pieces of mazuri, you must feed Bob by the bucket fulls!! Donna

    What am I doing wrong now?!

    Hi Stephanie, we live north of Denver (in Berthoud). Our first tort vet (for our golden greek that would not eat) was @ Louisville's Centennial Valley Hospital and they did not seem to be very knowledgable about tortoises and I don't think we received good care. I would not recommend them...

    2 leopard tortoises for adoption

    Would you be interested in having someone 'foster' them until you get back on your feet? We might be interested in that. We have plenty of inside and outside space and currently have three greeks but we don't know anything about leopards. Do they hibernate? Eastern Colorado to Chicago would...
