Awe little Nelson 😔 He was such a doll, let us wash him up and put medicine on his wounds. I am thankful he passed snuggled warm and peaceful with our love surrounding him. Hardest part of what we do is losing the uphill battle. Rest In Peace little one 😔

Thanks everyone! They have been removed and will continue to remove any that pop up!

They are Mizuri Tortoise Diet pellets. Our Hermanns LOVE them too! You can get them on Chewy.com

Here he is ……

Did you ever have any luck rehoming these 2? If not let me know, we are in southern california, but would be willing to travel.

Hi everyone, was out watering the pens and came across these mushrooms that have recently popped up. Are they ok to leave in the pens? They don’t appear to of been eaten by the torts but are poop up in the Sulcata and DT pens. Are they ok to eat if they wanted to? Thank you in advance!

I just had to share Baby Cane fresh out of the bath… he/she just soothes my soul…that face! ❤️ It reminds me of our babies fresh out of the bath snuggled in a towel as infants…hope you all enjoy 😊

I would imagine that if it has gotten worse since yesterday that maybe your baby is having an allergic reaction to the one of the meds. Could be inflammation (hotspot) for an infection as well...I am not sure, definitely not an expert but the right answer will come along shortly I am sure. We...

I can only imagine that ALL feces carries some form of bacteria and that in itself can cause a whole tailspin on their gut flora..... Eating poo poo doesn't seem to be a good idea...But I am no expert~

I agree with that for sure! The entire thing just doesn't make sense to me.

I agree 100%. It didn't make sense to us of how she could do the job she does but not know the ins/outs of caring for the tortoise in their natural habitat....That's what we said, why do the solar panels get to take over. Why can't they stay there? She had no answers for us. We too dislike...

One of our favorites of the desert, the wild burrows. We had a really fun encounter last spring heading down into death valley. The personalities of the burrows is extraordinary. @EppsDynasty and I couldn't stop laughing at them trying to stick their nose and/or tongues in our windows. And those...

What baffles me is that they are continuously taking the land for which is their "protected habitat" for the stupid solar projects. Every time a new project arises, (which seems to be every week around here) the torts are scouted, removed and relocated to some other area. Sometimes close...

This came across my news feed yesterday. Thought I would share... https://www.kget.com/news/state-news/california-designates-mojave-desert-tortoise-as-endangered/?nxsparam=8

Oh honey @EppsDynasty, you forgot to tell them all about the "New Lawnmower"! Ok, so first of all I don't think this is funny! BUT, we went to Home Depot and purchased a gas powered lawn mower before they are all sold out. We have not had use for a mower in over 10 years. Anything that was done...

1st photo is Cane sprawled out enjoying his daily soak and the other is him just coming back in from playtime in the sun… he likes to dig! Ha go figure!

Welcome! So exciting, we have a baby too! His/her name is Cane.....if it turns out to be her then it will be Miss Cane! Our baby was earth born February 17th. (Earth born means he/she came out of the ground) Their care is vital so please please read the info that @Tom has provided you. I...

Finally! Someone answered my question!! I remembered it wasn't recommended because of the interference with the thyroid and damaging to the liver and kidneys. I was wondering a while back and had found some info on the tort table about it. Thank you gentlemen for clarifying!

Unfortunately it is not the Knowledge from Experience I was referring to. But I believe you have already read the thread above from @Tom which is exactly the Knowledge from Experience I was referring to. I am glad to see you are listening. For your torts sake, I hope you start learning. Keep...

I 100% agree with @Yvonne G @Tom @EppsDynasty. Correct me if I am wrong here guys but isn't cabbage a no no for torts? @Petey G What caught my attention is that you indicate they are 2 females. Then once Yvonne advised you have a male, your response back to her indicated again "these...
