    Delicious Succulents for Desert Tortoises

    I don't know if any of the species in the pic are food for desert tortoises, but they like Prickly pear a lot, is what they eat in the wild. I just buy some pads at the super market and thrown them in the floor. Some times I just cut some pads from my prickly pear tree and do the same thing.

    New outdoor enclosure

    This is for a desert tortoise? I believe you need to dig more the fence because the desert tortoise likes to dig and escape from that.

    CDT not doing well post op

    I don't know the time to recover from a stone removal procedure, but I can guess he's still under pain. Maybe give him a few weeks to fully recovery and see if improves. But yeah, the vet could check him out again to see if everything is fine with the operation he had.

    My CDT is up and eating.

    I know, my mom has a lot of roses plants and they are flourishing. A neighbor has an hibiscus tree too, and he gave me the flowers after the flower start to decay, so my Texas DT can eat it.

    Anyone's desert torts wake up yet?

    When I was little, we had a Texas tortoise, and me as a child not knowing a lot of tortoises, I pick him up and "flying" him. So much fun for me, but I believe not for our tortoise.

    Anyone's desert torts wake up yet?

    Today here in North Mexico near to Texas is like 15 Celsius, so I guess my torts won't awake today or tomorrow. But next week we are going to have low 30 celsius weather, so I believe they would awake, but we never know.

    Is this safe for Tortoise

    I live in Nuevo Leon, Mexico, very near to Texas, so we have the same climate. Is good to know that I can give this food to my DT.
