    Tortoise cozy/sweater

    I know! The food ones are my favorite. Taco, cheese burger, cupcakes. But if they don't have any function then I think my tort would prefer to go au natural

    Tortoise cozy/sweater

    That is what I figured. There wouldn't be any heat for the sweater to retain, right? Im guessing it is just for show or to maybe hold in heat packs?

    Tortoise cozy/sweater

    How do you feel about putting a sweater or cozy on your tort? I know these claim to help with keeping them warm but does it actually? Do they like it? My mamal pets hate any type of clothing whether it is functional or not. Just curious about your experiences with tortoise sweaters! They are too...

    At least with hurricanes we have a bit of warning. I am sure it will be nothing large! I just worry about Louisiana, they are underneath it. Are heat packs advised for warmth?

    Ha, shopping mall! I could not imagine people's faces. Unfortunately, out in the public is pretty common. I have seen it quite a bit and always thought it was dangerous but I never assume. My girl has plenty of ground time and pen time though she prefers to sleep!

    They are just like kids, can't eat all sweets :) I really appreciate the advice! How do you feel about people who take their tortoise 'out' into the world? I don't have an opinion myself, just curious.

    She has had just weeds the first day, weeds and zucchini yesterday and today she has had a little mushroom piece and again... Weeds! Anything green seems to draw her attention. I attempted a earth worm but she wasn't having any of it. Koopa drinks a bit when she is in her bath but no poops. She...

    Oh my tort poo! She has not pooped yet (3rd day) and that I have seen. She did however pee quite a bit. I have been following feeding instructions as given to be by Vickie at Tortoise yard. Is there a quantity of food that is best for 3 month old? I would hate to over/under feed.

    How long should I let her soak? She isn't too keen on sitting in the water but eats like a monster after she gets out!

    Anyfoot- great name! Her enclosure is all set. She has an extra large under bed container with a water dish, hiding spots, and plenty of Spanish moss to burrow in. She is outside on our porch and we are in Florida so the humidity stays perfect. Both a uv bulb and a heat bulb are installed but...

    Hello! I have just gotten a beautiful little cherry head tortoise. She is my first tort, only aquatic in the past. I must say I fell in love. More than likely I will be posting a few questions. The info on here is amazing! Thanks for all the future tortoise love ❤️
