Do you sell Aldabra? Are you a breeder, then?

But back to the cuddle bone. Someone told me I could feed eggshells to my torts for extra calcium. Is that healthy? Can anyone recommend this?

I've been feeding them orchard hay I bought from amazon. They're dry and soft.

I want to give them as much land as I can and so I dont want to section up the space. Having said that, I could whatever land I have in the front of my property to grow grass for them.

I didn't think of that. Thank you for pointing that out .

I place their food in their feeding bowls, far away from the sand patch. Right now I'm still training them to feed on hay by mixing w/ mazuri. I cant be collecting plants for them anymore. All of my torts are between 60-75lb and they pretty much clear out all the weeds and wines around my...

May be hard to remove sand because I have a patch under a shade. Beside all torts love to lay on the sand to cool themselves down during the day. I can try to cover the sand w/ mulch but the torts will likely digging up the sand again. I'll definitely feed less watermelon, carrot, pumpkin and...

Thank you for all the comments. But should I continue to give my torts cuddle bone or no? Also, I haven't been giving cuddle bone for almost a week now, couple of them starts eating sand. Is that bad? I saw sand all over their mouths and so thought they were just basking on the sand. But today...

Thank you for the response. I only give sugary stuffs as treats which is about once every two weeks. In the wild, I don't know of much adult Aldabras consume seashell on the beach. That's why I'm wondering when to stop giving calcium supplements or if I should continue to give indefinitely. If...

My Aldabras are growing up fast, with the largest one being over 65lb. Some of them can really chew up a cuttlefish bone in one sitting. When do you stop giving them the bone? My torts diet consists of 40% orchid grass, 30% mazuri LS, 20% Mulberry leaves, 10% other things...

I tried that before w/ timothy hay and my torts just smelled the food and stared at me them sad round eyes. I couldn't help it but removed the hay and just gave them flesh veggies. I have the ZooMed. my tort didn't like them at all even when i mixed w/ mazuri. Although the idea about local...

Winters has been very tough on my aldabras as far as their food is concerned. They have been feeding on mostly mazuri ls. Once in a while, I do get them some store-bought veggies, which can be very pricy - especially for their size (over 35lb each). Lately, I have been thinking of making some...

What temperature are you able to maintain during the night?

They are hard to count for sure.... I dont know if I can trust my self counting either. But this is how I count. It's hard to tell to count thought the folded skins and i'm not sure if my marking is the actual posterior margin of the cloaca.

he only got one. doesn't matter how much he breed, he won't make more 😑
