    Is this Ragweed, or Ragwort?

    Thank you! I obviously know my plants, especially since it seems that I posted two different plants. Do you have any idea what the first one is? That one is the only plant that has had a chance to grow in my tort's cage, because he tramples every plant that I try to grow.

    Is this Ragweed, or Ragwort?

    I believe it's ragweed, I've always called it Ragweed, and I'm already having an allergy attack from taking a picture. I looked up Ragweed on Tortoise Table, and I'm now a bit paranoid that it might be Ragwort. This is also in Arizona

    Tips for planting in cage

    Thank you. I was going to try to get some of that grass next time I go to the pet store, but at the moment we have "lots" of green grass that will die off soon

    Tips for planting in cage

    I'm not going to leave him outside when it's hailing or his cage is flooding. He is too big to have an indoor enclosure. Thankfully that doesn't happen often here, so he only comes in a few times per year. The times that he does come in, he is locked up on tile, and he falls asleep next to the...

    Tips for planting in cage

    My Chihuahua has almost no teeth and his snout is too small for any toy, if he were to get angry, I doubt he will do much. We have any outdoor cage for Tort, he just gets put inside when it's too dangerous for him outside, which doesn't happen very often here.

    Tips for planting in cage

    I know. He only gets put inside when the weather is too bad for him. He's currently at the size where it's pretty much impossible to not see him, and then step on him. He mostly just stays locked up in the kitchen and falls asleep by the fridge or the doggy door. Yes, he does get stepped on by a...

    Tips for planting in cage

    Thank you! I will try to find some pots to put in. I don't know how well it would deter him though, he loves walking on stuff (especially my mom's feet.) One reason why I call him bulldozer is because he would immediately flatten a mound of substrate I put in.

    Tips for planting in cage

    First if all, sorry if I'm confusing. I know I usually can't put my thoughts into words and have it make sense, but I'm also super frazzled today. I would like some tips on how to get plants to grow in a tort cage. My bulldozer just tramples everything, and plants are never able to get past the...

    Vet's Best Flea+Tick Yard+Kennel Spray

    As for the fowl, my parents drew a line a pets after I got my tortoise, so not happening. Even if I did get them, the cats would probably kill them right away. My neighbor feeds them, so they tend to hangout in this area. The only idea so far on how to get rid of the cats is planting a bunch of...

    Vet's Best Flea+Tick Yard+Kennel Spray

    Unfortunately, I don't really have the ability to stop it. My vet wants it done every 3 months, and my parents aren't the convincable type after they made up their mind. At this point I think we should just be happy that we aren't going with some other stuff that my mom picked up at Home Depot...

    Vet's Best Flea+Tick Yard+Kennel Spray

    Okay, thank you. Do you know how long I should wait before I can give him more? I doubt I will ever be able to give him yard food again, but maybe in the monsoon season when my mom wouldn't treat the yard.

    Vet's Best Flea+Tick Yard+Kennel Spray

    I know you guys are probably going to say no, but I wanted to be sure. Can my tortoise eat food that has been sprayed with this then rinsed off? It says it is a plant based formula that is safe for dogs and cats. The active ingredients Peppermint Oil 0.60% Eugenol 1.40% Sodium Lauryl Sulfate...

    Rosewood Nature's Salad

    Ah, that's probably what I was think of then. Thank you

    Rosewood Nature's Salad

    Huh, I think I heard that it was okay, but whatever. He's never consumed the mix (not even the dandelion flowers), and it wasn't even on the list of foods that I would give him. Of course, I would've looked it up beforehand, if that's all I had for some odd reason. Thank you

    Rosewood Nature's Salad

    No, I didn't. When I was able to get him to try it, he would just spit it out because it was so dry. Even if I mixed it with good food, he would refuse it. I found that he loves to get Pretty Bird Pretty Pellets as a treat, so that might be more favorable for your tort. I've also asked about...
