    New Post Problem and Help to Post Photo

    I made a new post for 3 leopard hatchlings for sale the other day. I wasn't able to figure out to post pictures and now I don't see the sale listing either. Had an alert that my post had been moved to another location? I'm confused. Can someone help me? Thank you.

    Toys for Torts

    I put some little cat toys in my leopard enclosures and they do love them. I notice the ball is pushed around a lot and the little roller cage is moved around too. This morning one of the torts had its foot on top of it like she was rolling it around. Does anyone else use cat toys in their...
