I go to that zoo quite often! I love membership! :D I have relationships with a lot of the keepers and most of the animals you posted pics of I have fed/held at one point. Many animals there I claim as "mine", I have a post-it note on some of the show animals that aren't on display. Every time I...
Again, Hi everyone! I narrowed down my search to two sole species. The red-footed tortoise and the leopard tortoise. I just love the larger, but not huge size of the leopards, not to mention their cute "shy" personalities (as babies) but the outgoing personality and again, the beauty of the...
Narrowed things down to two species...Red-Foots and leopards. Since my springs, falls and winters are harsh here, those seasons will be spent indoors (I am planning to build a 5x5 enclosure, will this be alright for an adult male?) For leopards, I would get babcocki, I don't like the pardalis as...
Yea, Russians aren't going to go well with me with that digging....LOL.. Quick question, the marginated tortoises are really cool, but I'm still looking for something a little bigger. I know that no tortoise is the "perfect" pet, but I want to get the closest. Does anyone have any...
The fly river turtles have always been my favourite (aquatic) turtle. That and the mata-mata have always intrigued me. Fly river turtles are so similar to sea turtles (in looks), and the best part is, (while it may not be a good idea), it is legal to own them! So my dream isn't so unrealistic....:D
Really? I most certainly have to look into those! Thanks guys! I never considered such a tort! :D I love how you responded with that one sole, amazing word "Baoh...:)
Wow! IU know this thread it pretty old but I admire you greatly! These tortoises have it great! I love thre high price of these guys (probably something you've never heard before eh?), it deters irresponsible, immature people from obtaining them. To tell you the truth most PARROTS I know of are...
That's great! We have a huge Rubbermaid bin of cuddle bones for our bird (Bird beaks are VERY powerful, and she shreds though them in a matter of seconds!), and let me tell you from experience, cuddle bones smell NASTY with a capital P and a capital U...;)
RE: Another Dog Story (Why tortoises & dogs DO NOT MIX. No exceptions!)
Thank you for this eye opening post. I, myself have dogs, but would NEVER let one come in contact with any animal of a different species. Not a cat, not a bird (we have a bird too), not a fish (yep got that covered), not a...
Hello again! As stated in my introduction post, I am in the market for my first tortoise. I am not able to get more than one (space doesn't permit), and I understand the lifelong commitment, so I want to make the right choice. You probably get this type of question a lot, but it really is an...
Ha ha! Hello everyone! Before I introduce myself, i'd like to tell you a quick story. "Once upon a time a member by the name of 'tortoise7' was trying to register to a highly recommended tortoise forum website, found by typing in 'www.tortoiseforum.org". When it came time for email verification...
