An enclosed area outside with a lid would keep animals away. Or can you take him out and watch him and how he behaves outdoors? It could help, or not.

If he’s 7 years old and you’ve had him over a year (?) I can’t scroll up on my phone to your original post, but do you have an outdoor space for him? Also see through glass can stress a tortoise out. When mine were babies I covered the sides with dark paper.

Good to know. I wouldn’t ship a tortoise anywhere anyhow. I’m looking for safe and experienced homes in or near my area. They are well taken care of by me, I’m just in over my head with 3 of them. No shipping ?

Good to know. I’m going to hold out a tiny bit longer for someone local but if all else fails I’ll let you know. Thank you! Tanya

My desert tortoises do the same thing. Eventually they guzzle water and relax which is why I want them to soak for longer than a minute. Redit users should be reporting the actual dangerous stuff on Instagram and discord!

Oh that’s far

Sorry I’ve been lagging in all ways. I have not placed them with homes yet but will keep you all posted thank you!

Hi, I’m waiting to hear back from someone who was interested so I’ll keep you posted.. Tanya

I’m waiting to hear back from one person so I’ll keep you posted! Tanya

I’m in Los feliz. I went to cal arts years ago so I know Santa Clarita a little bit. It’s so simple what I need to do and for some reason it’s taken over my life. I started putting the wood in to see if it would work..but abandoned ship. I’m out back all day because I’m switching them out and...

Hello all, This is hard for me to do because I love these two, but am overwhelmed at the same time. I have 2 male desert tortoises, about 6 years old, brothers, I’ve had since they were born and would like to find homes for them. 2 males shouldn’t be kept together and will fight (which they...

That’s ok. I’m sure reading the same questions over and over, but yes the first time I posted here I was jolted by the responses I got. But I needed the help! I was going nail together a shelf from a bookshelf and another piece of plywood, but slump stone, is that the same as cinder block...

I’ll do that thank you.

And now they are fighting. (They are on dirt I was just thinking of warmth in burrowing areas). But I need to either divide their existing enclosure or better, make a new one. Only thing holding me back is how. I own a drill so technically make a wall but even that is daunting as I’m not handy...

They are California desert tortoises. 2 males about 6 years old. Their outdoor enclosure is filled with dirt, like actual dirt. But some areas mixed with topsoil where grass grows and some weeds etc. it’s like a wooden garden bed with 3 lids covered in chicken wire. if they spend the night...

I don’t have any cococoir on hand but would like to add something for my 2 desert tortoises to burrow/sleep in in their outdoor enclosure. Would zoo med aspen snake bedding be ok? For snakes but includes tortoises on back. I also have half a bag of “reptile bedding and litter” says it’s...

Hi Karen! Where they go now is under what used to be where they’d sleep/rest before I take them inside. Their enclosure has dirt as the ground and under there they’ve tried to dig but can’t get past to pebbles and rocks under the dirt. To make it more burrow like should I put hay or .. coco...
