Yes. I've been doing that for 5 years now. I have 10 free ranging Guineas and 7 free ranging chickens that roam my 5 acres.....They do a good job with the lawn and some wooded areas but they can't do everything.
Deer ticks, American dog ticks, and a small black type which i don't know the name of.....they are small like deer ticks, maybe just a baby dog tick....Not sure if any others...
Will do, I'm located in New York. It won't be finished for a couple months at most. I will be working on it a little at a time. Going to rent a bobcat loaded to clear some dead trees but the pain in the butt part is going to be fencing the top. I will need a 7 foot surrounding fence along...
I will be building my outdoor habitat soon for some eastern box turtles. The habitat will be in a wooded area simulating a natural environment. This wooded area is loaded with ticks. Will this be a problem? The area will be pretty big. Probably between 1600 and 4500 square feet. Any info...
For now I'm keying in on just the Eastern Box. Something I can keep outside in a huge habitat simulating real life conditions year round. So I will be hibernating them. I'm not a big fan of having a tort or turt that I have to keep cooped up inside year round. The eastern box turtles...
For saving the eastern box turtle and 3 toed. I live in New York. Looking to take in rescues and re-located/ rehabilitate them too. I'de like some name suggestions for my future organization!!
ahhh ok. I'm going to start with the just "possess" for now. I know the breeding and selling is completely different, that will come with time. I've looked at the DEC website a bunch of times so I'm becoming familiar with the different licenses. I just want the spring to come so I can start...
Awesome, thanks for the info. I printed out the license application a couple days ago. Is it hard to get?
Also, thank you Turtlelous for the response..
Thanks for the response Terryo I appreciate it. It seems we have similar thoughts/goals with these box turtles. I have checked out that Long Island rescue a few times and will definitely get in touch with them....and I have read a bunch of your posts. You kind of didn't answer some of my...
So I decided against getting a tortoise that I would have to keep indoors. I came up with an idea. I'm going to start a small organization for taking rescued Easter Box turtles here in New York. I'm going to build a monster outdoor habitat for them, aiming for at least 1600 square feet...
Where would you recommend buying a tort? Ive went through about 20 sites so far, not sure who to trust. Are torts that expensive on every site? Like 250 a piece? Not that I'm itching but holy crap.
