:D My personal theory is a weed grows like a weed only as long as it is an unwanted plant. Making it wanted, means it's no longer a weed so no longer grows fast and nor grows everywhere. :D What are you growing for him in the pots?
The pots are just some plants from home depot. Two are...
Well ya know dandelions are by far the best food for them, but when you do want to grow them, they take FOREVER! Seems rather contradictory to my lawn. I just wish my sprout-lings would grow faster.
He does a bit. Mostly when he is anxious or bored. They aren't bad for him, but they aren't preferred either. The plan is that we will plant the greens in the viv when they mature more. They grow back IF he doesn't destroy them completely.
Here are updated pics of our Vivarium. Footlocker tramples everything! We took his old home and made it his hide. That's about all that thing will ever be good for again.
My pic is his house. There is going to be a second level for growing his food. When it warms up, he will get to go outside, but I live in MN. I doubt he'd like it this time of year.[hr]
He has a rock bed by his pool, a sphagnum moss area where his heatlamp is, newly added organic soil for...
We have added some plants, but what does a tortoise want to do? I don't have the space for a larger terrarium, we live in an apartment. He had it much worse the rest of his life, he could barely turn around in his catbox with the lady we got him from. I know he does enjoy most of his day...
So Footlocker is relentlessly trying to get out of his habitat today. He is driving me nuts because he keeps trying to walk up the walls in an attempt to get out. I don't really care that he is doing it, but then he slides down and smacks his little jaw on his pool edge and I think it looks...
WELCOME! I just had to rescue a tortoise with no prior history or want and I love him. I built a 3'x7' enclosure out of 2x4's and plexi glass with different substrates in different areas(cypress mulch, spagnum moss, peet moss and rocks near the pool) as well as a non compact UVB bulb and some...
That is awesome. Footlocker is VERY social with people and the cats don't scare him either. He is very friendly and likes to be spoken to, held, touched and he also watches TV with my kid. I have a 3'x7' enclosure, which I have read is enough for 2 torts, I have the space for one more...
So they can be in the same home? That would be amazing to have a companion for him. I would defiantly buy another if that were the case. Probably not another male though. I would just take the chance they don't mate.
Footlocker is about 25. We want to breed him, but don't really know much about the whole thing. I know the female would have to be bigger than he is. What about age? Clearly it would have to be a full grown adult and kept in separate terrariums, but where do I get another? Are there people...
