So I found a note from years ago and she is a desert tortoise and female. I hope that's right, I believed the person who told me. They did say romaine lettuce was great for her, but I found out that other stuff is better. I feed her spinach, parsley, bean sprouts and last year she got some of my...
I think she's too big to be carried off, but there was a large owl here a year ago that looked big enough to carry a cat or dog off. We never had problems with it coming too close to the yard.
Here is pic. What a job, I couldn't get my own pic permissions. This is from my sister's phone and from a few years ago. She eats dandelions and I give her things like spinach and parsley.
Hi, why I asked was because this bluejay (rather large) was dancing around Dora and squawking loud. Dora was hiding in her shell and after I came out,

PA?? wow what a challenge. I guess you have to do the "It's time to come inside" speech even in summer. Do they have doggy door type things for small crawlers?
Thank you about species specific, I did find beginners mistakes and have changed my mind about bedding. I just got new device and have to move all my pics. I'm sure everyone knows the fun of that. I love the colorings of yours and other's tortoises.
Hi, I am new to forums, so please forgive my errors in advance. I have had Dora for over 10 years and never realized there was any kind of info out there. I have searched the net about desert box tortoises and your forum has more info than I have found ever. Thank you all. Dora is a female (a...
