I got 4" pots of three different types of bamboo:
All three are supposed to be viable in my locale, so I'm going to try splitting each one to plant outdoors and also pot inside.
- A dwarf, tight-clumping, bamboo
- A variegated green/white bamboo
- A giant bamboo
My hope is to grow enough inside and outside to feed Aretha and maybe my other tortoises, if they like it...

I guess I've been lucky... I simply wet it a little and they all seem to love it.I cannot get my tortoises to eat MAzuri............how do you get yours to eat it???? I have tried everything, mashing it with the greens, wetting it and smearing it on the greens, any suggestions?
That’s a beautiful baby Jamie! I’m excited for you and can’t wait to see her progress.. I missed that you had gotten a Russian so now I’m going to look him up. That’s a nice habitat for Aretha too!
Couldn't agree more... There is something special about her for sure.Everytime I scroll through tortoise forum I stop at this picture every time. I'm awestruck by the beauty of that little tort. [emoji7] I absolutely love her and have been following the thread and always love the pictures [emoji846]
Yes she is breathtaking [emoji3590]Couldn't agree more... There is something special about her for sure.
Congratulations, You made a great choice on getting a member of the manoria family. Now all you need is a Brown and an Impressa. just kidding. I got my first Black in 1996 at the same time I picked up Walker .He and another male I picked up a couple years later are now in Florida with Vic along with a pair of browns that I raised.. He needed males for breeding so I sent them to him. Some food items that I fed were cooked sweet potato,mushrooms,opuntia, leaves and stems from colocasia,alocasia and malanga plants, The malanga is a new world elephant ear plant from the tropics. Enjoy raising your new Baby.
