    YOUR TORTOISE NICKNAMES?

    Almost forgot, Ollivander is sometimes called Strider, after Aragorn, or Spoopy Rock, because my cat is terrified.

    Picky eater- advice?

    Hello, all! My tortoise, Ollivander, is a rescue, and for both the previous owner and myself, he refuses to eat anything but Romaine lettuce. No kale, no blueberries, no strawberries, no mustard greens. I want to feed him better, but he just won't. I have a bearded dragon and a rabbit that...

    Indoor free roam idea- thoughts?

    Hello, all! I had an idea for my Russian tortoise, Ollivander. I'm soon going to be moving to a larger home, and will have room for a larger enclosure for him. Something I had in mind was to build something that has a removable front wall, and a ramp in and out, so that I can leave it open when...

    Does this need to be trimmed?

    Would a bit of slate tile suffice?

    Does this need to be trimmed?

    Hello, all! I was looking at Ollivander's beak and thought it might need to be trimmed. I got him from the previous owner, and while he was generally well kept, I feel this may have escaped her notice. Or, maybe I am catastrophising... Anyways, here's a couple pictures. My bunny, Hermione, can...

    Rawr! Scary f'rociouss tortuss!

    Hello, all! So, I took Ollivander out of his enclosure this afternoon and followed him as he rambled around my house, to make sure he didn't get into mischief. Boooooy, was that a good idea! Not because he got into mischief, but because comedy /gold/ ensued. So, I have a cat, Autumn, who is a...

    Meet me, and the zoo, and help me name my tortoise!

    Call me Arirang- I don't do social media and never give out my real name online ;) Call me old-fashioned, too. The origin of the name Arirang is an old Korean folk tune that I particularly enjoy. I'm learning Korean, and it's the first song I learned. And a particularly breathtaking modern...

    I actually think I like the name Ollivander best. I can call him Olive or Ollie for short. I just thought of it spur-of-the-moment as I was writing that list down.

    I am going to be taking some more soon. The only one right now is kinda derpy-looking. He does have a chipped shell and a healing gash on his elbow. Poor guy's been through a lot :(

    I do enjoy The Firebird by Stravinsky, but the inspiration comes from Igor Karkaroff. As I'm sure you probably deduced, I'm a /slight/ Harry Potter fan.

    Meet me, and the zoo, and help me name my tortoise!

    Hello, all! First, a little about me- otherwise youd stop reading after the bit about the babies. I am 22, male, and love animals. I work full-time at PetSmart and part time at Yankee Candle Company, and I love gaming, reading, and am fiddling around with woodcarving. I have thirteen pets, if...

    Looking for a tortoise...

    Maybe at some- we're not a perfect company and no one is. My store gets small individuals and they usually sell in a week or less. Fun fact: Pet stores are not all the horrible things PETA would make you believe. They're actually typically run by people who love animals.
