I dont know! this was posted by a local reptile center and I just thought maybe the tortoise forum would have some more reach to find the owners. they havnt posted an update.

it seems like the post was made about a week ago so if this is you please call them ASAP!!!

Hey Folks! My friend sent me this post on FB of a sulcata (well taken care of) that was found in Woodbury MN, Last I checked we havnt found the owners yet, thought I'd spread it here! any MN tortoise owners who know folks looking for their tort in Woodbury please check out this post!

Thats good to hear! This last week i've been mostly feeding him leaves like that and I'll make note to keep adding them in

Hey TF! I've had my Russian Tortoise for about a month now. he's healthy, eats all his food, roams around his cage, and poops regularly. Today I found a whole leaf hanging out of his butt. (I chop his food up into thin strips, what I found was an entire undigested strip) I change up his...

The main idea is no staples. you want to make sure you're changing up what greens you're feeding him so he gets a range of nutrition ect. I do like the mighty and spring mixes at the coop, pick out the spinach, change which ones you feed him. For ex. I got Clyde some Mighty mix last week, this...

There's a cool app called Tortoise Table that lists specific plants you can and cannot feed tortoises, as a good leaping off point. Each tortoise species is different I think in what they should eat but it could stop you from buying a potentially dangerous plant.

Hey Folks! I wanted to share this idea for people who are having a hard time getting hatchlings to stop flipping (like I was). I have a Russian Hatchling named Clyde. He is super curious and is constantly trying to climb out of his enclosure, he'll climb up along the wooden walls until he's on...
