Thank you so much! I was stressing out a little! She only ate 2 flowers.

Please help!!! My tortoise just ate a flower from a Brittlebush plant, and I can't find any info to see if it is safe.

I strongly suggest you cap the corners of your enclosure. I watched my Russian leverage herself in a corner and climb the 16" high walls of her new enclosure in less than 1 minute. Much to my dismay of course because I had just spent 4 days building the damned thing. Lol! She loves climbing...

Diatomaceous earth (food grade)sprinkled outside or inside of your house will help get rid of the scorpion problem as well as a host of other creepy crawlies and it's not toxic to pets or humans in small quantity. In fact, most grains are stored with DE to keep bugs from eating it before it gets...

When life gives me lemons, I freeze them hard as rocks and them throw them at the people that are pissing me off! ;) Screw making lemonade! Sorry to hear that you are having such a hard time lately. Hopefully things will work out in your favor soon.

Thanks for the link. It makes me feel better about bringing them inside during this heat!

I am new to tort ownership, so I would like to know if what I'm doing is good or bad. The temperatures here in Phoenix, AZ are going to be in the 115-122 degree range for the next couple of weeks. I am currently taking my torts outside into my mostly shaded back yard 6-am-11am, and taking them...

1 Russian and 1 baby Sulcata

I just wanted to put this out there for any forum members that are living in the Phoenix/ Mesa, AZ area. The Mekong Market place on Dobson Rd. in Mesa, AZ has great dandelion greens and tons of other good supplemental greens to add to your tortoise's dinner table.

So sorry for your loss.

What a little cutie!

Both the sulcata baby and the Russian tort use their play balls as their snuggle buddies when they go to bed? Odd, but cute!

Here area some pics of my Russian named Shelby, and my baby sulcata named Kifaru aka "Kif"

What a little cutie!

Thanks Alex, Good luck with your new baby sulcata when you get one. looks like you have a Russian too just like me! I look forward to seeing your baby pics!

Thank you Bee62 for the welcome!

Thanks for the info! Temps are good 90-100 on the warm end and 75-80 on the cool end. I will get that humidity up asap!

I just added a new family member. It is believed that this little Sulcata is just under a year old. The name is "Kifaru" which is the Swahili word for Tank. Any tips on the best enclosure humidity range for this little one? I've got it hanging at around 50% now.

Yay! The little stinker finally ate some organic mixed salad greens this morning. I got her outside enclosure finished and transferred her yesterday. She seems much more comfy, and she finally ate!

Oh! He's a big boy!
