It does if it hinders the ability for that person to properly care for that pet.

New Desert Tortoise Mommy said:Ok now if you work and do school and you put soil in and you come back to a dirt water bowl and little baby torts dirty and crap in there eye and all there eyes closed. Yes this was a horri ble idea from you people help us not send us messages
treating us like we are bad people cause we dont have no money to drive far and buy a 14 dollar bag and waste 20 on gas we will figure out a different substrate when we get a chance and get a lot of things for them and if you want to get mad and mock us for not having our parents buy our wants for them. now when I get rich like you people think I am ill make them a mansion to satisfy your needs and wants for them but as of now we will do little work here and there so next time you want to go off on people make sure you put into mind they dont have a silver spoon in there mouth lile you do and this is her boyfriend writing this who tales care of them night and day after or before work and school and giving the little guys a bath in carrot food so learn your facts before writing hate msgs to people who are doing everything in there power to care for them
please and thank you

There is no Petsmart where you live? No Petco? Or internet? Not a single store near you sells mulch? Just curious, why was the top soil a horrible idea? Many people use it successfully all day every day.

She's free to take care of her animals in the way she sees fit, even if we don't agree with her. That's her right and prerogative period! The expression, "you get more bees with honey than vinegar" holds true.

Simply asking questions in order to try and inform her of her choices. This person has already made up their mind to be irritated with anything that is said. I am poor as well but I have the money to take care of my animals. If I did not, I would not have my animals. I spent less than $20 and got new bulbs, new substrate and new food and water dishes for 4 indoor pens. I spent another $55 and set up a 10 x 10 garden with dirt and plants for my 2 Russians.
thatrebecca said:It can be very overwhelming to be a new tort keeper, what with all the conflicting info out there. When I brought home my two juvenile DTs this past spring, I changed their substrate three times in the first week based on different advice I got. I was ready to tear my hair out. (Now they're on plain old back yard dirt outside and orchid bark inside, both of which have worked out great).
Anyway, don't get discouraged. Your intentions are good or you wouldn't be here. There's lots of helpful info to be gleaned from experienced keepers here. Keep reading and learning.
New Desert Tortoise Mommy said:Nd thank u Rebecca u seem to be the only one that understands haha
please and thank you
Thats their cousin haha I wish it was the mommy but no and yah he is sooo cute nd big it was fun watching them together.
please and thank you
Relax people just because I seem to be getting mad doesnt mean im not listening or taking in the advice u guys give me and taking the time to tell me everything u guys know. Nd I appreciate it but I have to wait for the check to come in. So dont start with me saying I should give them away because I cant take care of them. Im not a rich a$$ like u acting like u. Sorry for getting upset but that was harsh and rude ! So dont tell me I cant afford or I cant take care of them. All u can do is hope for the best because im doing everything I can. People take care of theses babies different ways and not always (word removed by moderator) money. And I see people have helped for cheap ways and I appreciate it. But when I get some things nd then I get something nd else nd then try all theses things I ran out of money toll my next check nothing to do now. But I have the stuff they need. So relax everyone and no more hate on my thread please
please and thank you
