Re: RE: ALDABRA TORTOISE BREEDER

Look! Aldabra fencing!

I read it and thought you meant two aldabras, actually fencing. Yeah now it's Tiffany' s turn to need sleep. Oh well. Stuff must get done.

Say Greg do you ever notice favoring of the coastal Bermuda more in the summer versus winter. Or is there really no difference or change in consumption for the season change. I know Miami/Naples still stays warm, but always wondered if the "winter" shelved hay was not favored as much as the fresh spring-summer hay?

* I feed straight Orchard when i can get it, however O & A is always available (70/30 blend). Bermuda is my last resort choice, hardly ever feed it.

Where do you get your Orchard hay?

Where do you get your Orchard hay?

* Local feed stores. Strait Orchard hay usually comes in mini bales and is very expensive!

Well, soon, I may just have to look into that. The stuff you get at the pet shops are old. It's been on the shelves for who knows hoe long. When my torts were babies, I use to cut it up small and soak them. Now, they won't touch it. The like the fresh cut stuff. Haha, my torts are a bit spoiled too.

Naples is like an arctic wasteland up there compared to Miami!
Ok not really. To those unfamiliar with Florida: Miami a little further south, on the opposite (east) coast and is usually a little warmer/more humid, I've heard it is because of Miami's proximity to the Gulf Stream, but I don't know if that's true or not. I'm cozy down here about 20 miles south of Miami- like the tortoises I prefer to stay warm and humid. That snow and ice stuff is for the birds.
Enjoy your iceboxes gentlemen!

* Thank you!

That is the SWEETEST PIC YET!!!!! Thank You, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! For sharing it, I needed that warm fuzzy feeling and smile.

In case some don't know it, this is something that tortoises do. They breath into each other's nose. Don't know if that's just a way they communicate with each other, but, I know they do it among the various species too. Greg, how often do you see this happening? Where is Hopie?

Greg, those pics of the giants and the little soon to be's are just precious. I love how sweet and gentle the big ones look to be with the babes. I would love to know,what the babes are thinking when they see those gigantic legs, heads, bodies
