    Three red ear slider hatchlings on Thursday!

    Hello everybody! We're getting three red ear slider hatchlings on Thursday. Yes, I am completely aware of the size they can get and that they aren't very "easy" to take care of. We're getting them from my moms friend who has them living in a sink or something? I'm not really sure what...

    What do you guys feed your Russian torts?

    I've picked dandelions and grape leaves for him and he seems to like those. I'll order some "testudo seed mix" and today I'll go out for wild onions.

    I like escargot. Lionfish is also really good.

    My Tortoise has some white stuff on her shell

    The pee could be urates, which are normal! The white stuff on his/her shell could be calcium. You give your tort calcium, right?

    What do you guys feed your Russian torts?

    Hey everyone, I feed my Russian Tortoise (Shelldon) spring mix, prickly pear, a little bit of romaine, a little bit of butter lettuce, dandelions, lots of home-grown lettuce, and sometimes little bits of apple, and also rarely pellet food on the side. I've just been curious about what you guys...

    Do not buy from petsmart or petco

    This is horrifying. But the thing to think about is that pet stores are almost always temporary homes. The Petsmart near me isn't bad and believe it or not one of our tortoises is from there. But again, that's no excuse for how terrifying that video is.But we demand cheap tortoises, and each day...

    In Memoriam

    We lost our little guy Blaster several years ago. He was a box turtle, and he has the weirdest story out of all of my pets. My family loves crayfish. We order it every year and cook it. I'll tell you this-it's really good. They're kinda like mini-lobsters! But anyway, when we ordered crayfish a...

    Top ten pets (without fur)

    Frogs and toads are pretty awesome, same with turtles and tortoises. I have experience owning both. Lizards are a pretty good idea too. And if you don't have a whole lot of time on your hands, fish work out well! Snakes are also seem like a good pet, although a lot of people are afraid with...

    Yup! Everything is working out. My mom and dad will have a talk to sort things out, and then the move will be completed! Any know a kind of indoor on closure that cats can't get into?

    Help! Family won't understand.

    EVEN GREATER NEWS! So I was talking to my mother about this (parents divorced) and she agreed with me and said that if my dad said okay we could keep Shelldon (injured turtle) at her house. I'm pretty sure my father will say yes!
