Hi everyone! Last Thursday we had severe rains and 4 of our desert torts had to be dig up from there natural outdoor burrows, the ground was so saturated, that they were all covered in mud, so continuing hibernation outdoors is not an option at this point. I'm having a hard time keeping them...

Funding, not finding. Sorry this phone is a mess

Thank you!!❤❤,from all of us!!

We have 10 acres here in the desert native to our cal desert torts with nothing on it, or was just an investment years ago. We really want to start a tort sanctuary asap, but utilities to be ran, and water might have to be ran from a well, then finding,food ,ect. When we can establish housing...

I'm also concerned about he, or her beak. Seems to me way to over grown, but again, I'm not very familiar with box turtles, only desert torts, sulcatas, lepords, and now Russians due to our last rescue.

Thank you!! Still learning about this lol one, he/she is not totally cozy yet because it was bad timing. My friend who rescued it has a human baby due tomorrow, Oct. 17. Mean while I have another recent rescue of my own. Non stop work at this time of year. A little Russian tort. Heavy rains a...

Thank you yvonne! I have looked at as many different box turtles as I can find on line, there are many, and my best guess was also a desert box turtle. But I the only pic I found so far had some yellow on its head. I see your posts a lot and I always respect and agree with you and Tom. Thank you...

Your 0nemakes it 1,027. However, not 5 m iniutes after my post, my girlfriend called me to tell me she just adopted one more. So now the total is. 1,027+1= 1,028.

1,016 + our 10= 1,026

Wow, that's pretty hot for his burrow, do you have shade covering each burrow?

I have never tried it on ant hills, but have killed many bugs and spiders using a propane torch. Perhaps you may be able to turn the gas on with no flame, stick the tip in the entrance and gas them out. Fill the holes with propane, for a couple minute, then quickly cover with dirt to keep the...

Our sulcatas also gets bigger and smaller like that, he also takes it in and out kind of in a faster motion. Seems to know what he is doing. He must have had a lot of practice over his years. He even wags it sometimes like a dogs tail. Cracks me up every time now that I know he just a little...

Yes, thats defiantly his man hood. I have never seen any of my deserts torts do that, but we have a large sulcta that has been doing that for a few monts now. He stands high on his front legs when he does this but very low on his back legs. I also freaked out and took his to a tort specialist in...
