Hi All,

I just wanted to share our tortoise family.

https://www.facebook.com/iseetort/


We have 2 sulcatas - Fanta and Curtis, and 4 indian star tortoises - Ecsta, Choo, Lei and AB :)

Here's the whole creep:

(Left-to-right: Ecsta, Fanta, Curtis, Lei, Choo and AB)

I just posts random photos and videos of them in that FB page. Usually, it would be them grazing


Or walking around


And of course, sometimes just funny moments of them like this before and after pic with my wife :p



Anyway, just thought I'd share :) The tips and info that I got from this community has been very helpful in our care for our tortoises :) And this is the result so far :) Im pretty happy if you ask me ;-) hehe

Cheers,
Franz

Lovely little family! I especially like the "peeing" picture. Looks like your wife was in for a big surprise!

Choo walking and walking until I can barely see him :)


And once they disappear, they can be very hard to find :)

Can you see him?

Aww, super cute! Those little dudes are pretty good at hiding, eh? ;D

Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes! :p hehehe... Their patterns allow them for surprisingly effective camouflage. Plus, given their size and their propensity to hide underneath the grass makes them very difficult to find :)

Here's choo burrowed inside their enclosure :p

Curtis, my laziest tortoise, out and about :p
I love all your photos and videos -- you have such lovely tortoises! :) I like the grazing space you have for them; it's super filled with tasty treats! Way to garden!

Thanks! Unfortunately, those are just like wild grasses and weeds. Cant seem to grow much there :p that's why my tortoise seed mixes are all grown in pots instead of in the yard :) Luckily though, my torts still love those wild grasses and weeds :) hehe
