    Haven't posted in awhile. My little dude is doing well and eating a lot... and pewping a lot... what else can you ask for? I've taken up a new hobby and since this is tortoise related I figured I'd post.

    The Tuck-Hut

That crunch in the morning is always a sad sound. :( I saw a picture of a Redfoot eating a snail... Will...

    Poop...

    So my tort has gotten in the habit (or at least I assume it's a habit) of not pooping unless I take him out of his home. I won't see any poop for a week, then I'll take him out for his weekend walk in the park and instantly once he's on the grass he poops. I can take him out for 3 days...
