No but he eats the grasses that die off here during the winter months.Do you ever feed him hay thru out the winter?
Thanks, He has been special to me for over 24 years and this was the first time he had me worried about his well being pertaining to health issues.Walker is our hero ❤ he's such a fabulous sulcata!
It’s scary! They are such residual creatures so when something is wrong, it seems like it’s REALLY wrong:-(Thanks, He has been special to me for over 24 years and this was the first time he had me worried about his well being pertaining to health issues.
How true, when you watch a tortoise for so many years and learn it's habits, needs and mannerisms and something changes so abruptly you will just figure something is wrong with it's health. I will never know why Walker stayed in his house for so long and I hope he doesn't do it again.It’s scary!

How fascinating. Were you young when you first got walker? How did walker come into your life? Would love to know the story behind walker!How true, when you watch a tortoise for so many years and learn it's habits, needs and mannerisms and something changes so abruptly you will just figure something is wrong with it's health.

How was Walker today??How true, when you watch a tortoise for so many years and learn it's habits, needs and mannerisms and something changes so abruptly you will just figure something is wrong with it's health.

That light is for my benefit more than Walkers. It lets me know that his electric is working. There is a small LED night light behind that bulb that will show up if that bulb happens burns out. The LED light is hard to see from the house on a sunny day. If both are off we have a problem that needs fixing.His porch light makes me laugh. It's just so darned cute! I sure am glad he's back to being himself!
He stayed in his house.How was Walker today??
I went to the Orlando Florida reptile show in 1996 to pick up a Black Mountain tortoise and came home with 2 tortoises instead of just 1. When I saw those little hatchlings knowing how big they could get I needed one. Probably the best spur of the moment buy I've ever made. And no I was not young.How fascinating. Were you young when you first got walker? How did walker come into your life? Would love to know the story behind walker!
You re so calm about it. That would make me insane!!! Go to BED!We had rain today until about 4 pm, The yard flooded and still is around Walkers house. He did come out but not until it was getting dark around 6 pm. He grazed and I hand fed him some cactus. A couple pics of the night WalkerView attachment 319008
View attachment 319009This is not unusual behavior for him to come out late in the evening.
I'm a calm old man and I can't go to bed because it's not tomorrow yet. Still another hour at least.You re so calm about it. That would make me insane!!! Go to BED!
