Yes only citrus food for the trees a few times a year. No more chemicals. We have been weaning off of them for a few years now. I want him to be able to graze and walk in the grass. We wont be fertilizing for a while now. Probably not until next year sometime.

Hi I am happy to have a young Sulcuta Tort. and all of you to help me!

So right now, Shermie just went into his humid hide for the night. Soaked him for 15 min. he heads right into his hide once he gets his soak, he is so smart he knows the routine, It is 83 degrees right now in the hide.

Hi, Speedy!
