Cute baby!!

Oh my gosh!!! They are gorgeous!!! And 'hi'!!!

She LOVED her cucumber tonight. And she did pass some milky colored pee tonight. Definitely still going in for the surgery...but if I can help make the stone smaller in the meantime...well, that would be amazing. :)

Thanks :)

Yes...we are currently at two soaks a day. I'm going to up that to four if/when we possibly can. I've also read that onion juice and cucumbers can help with breaking stones up. Any issues with trying to get her to eat cucumbers and/or making her drink some onion juice that you all can think of??

Hi - I was wondering if anyone knows if there is any special diet we can or should put our Desert Tortoise on while she awaits bladder stone surgery. The surgery is being arranged by those we adopted her from...so will be within the next couple weeks. She is active and still has a good...

Thanks :) We love them dearly. Always on the lookout for a new addition to the group...I'd like another Leopard next I think. But we will see what the fates bring us.

Hi Kathy, I posted pics of all of them under the pictures forum :) http://www.tortoiseforum.org/threads/the-carlson-tortoise-herd.141852/#post-1326504

And last but not least we have babies. These came to us from folks who didn't want, or couldn't, care for Desert babies. They are a handful for certain, but so far are thriving, active and sweet as can be.

"Lefty" came to us after having survived a dog attack. He's a very adapt and agile Leopard tortoise despite having lost part of his front leg. I honestly think he is the quickest of all our tortoises.

Red is our newest addition...a shy but handsome Red-foot. He's warming up to his new home and he especially likes to hangout by the Monarchs who land on his back frequently (haven't been able to capture that picture yet)

They were being calm tonight so I was able to get the rest. This is Desiree. She came to the Society with a bladder stone. We are fostering her until she has her surgery within the next couple weeks and will then have the option of adopting her once she's healed under our care. I can pretty...

Will get some good pictures of the rest of the gang in the coming days :)

This sweet little lady is Lil'. She came to us with some extreme shell damage. It was/is unknown if it was animal or person who did the damage, although it pains me to say much of the damage is too "precise" to believe an animal did it. Despite her injuries, she is the SWEETEST and the most...

Leoperdo is our first Leopard Tortoise. Again adopted from the Desert Tortoise Society. He was a relinquished pet, with not much history known. He's a firecracker though. Lightening fast and he LOVES to sneak into the house when the door is open. :)
