My little Russian tortoise managed to get into my (much larger) desert enclosure and she chewed him up a bit. Nothing like this. But you could see that he was completely hiding in his shell and where he was being attacked by her. Hoping for the best outcome for your beautiful tortoise. I can’t...

You know he only wants to hear your voice and see what you are offering for breakfast. Just don’t call him”Late for Dinner “😂(sorry 🤣)😂

Thank you. I hope we are invited to visit again. It was a great day for all. That was with the kindergartners.

Not sure how to add text to the previous post, but finally got some pictures to share of Sonny and the kids😍

Thanks. I’m really looking forward to it.

Got it! (I think)

Thank you. I’m taking notes from past threads and doing a little research. It’s 1st and 2nd graders who we will be visiting, hoping to keep it fairly simple. How do I contact Team Gomberg? (My technical skills are limited)

Good to know😁

Never mind. I just found these threads from past discussions. I’m getting excited for our little field trip. Hoping we can be out on the grass. I have asked about any chemical treatments out there. I know my guy would love meeting kids out on their playground.

My kids would like to bring their desert tortoise to school for a brief visit for show and tell. I’ll be watching closely and kids will be instructed to “look, don’t touch”. It’s a private school, small class sizes, well maintained… Are there any reasons that we should not do this?

It’s liriope.

I know. Thank you.

That was 25 years ago and I have learned a lot since then. Still learning, thanks to all of you on the Forum.
