This is wonderful! They will come to us!
All of my rescues, dogs, cats, hens... have been rescued! They find me!!!
I’m new to torrties as well! I just acquired 2 45 year old CA Desert Tortoises from a friend going thru a divorce! She has had them their entire lives! Sad to see them...
Oh that’s good! My hens love that as well!
I put corn & water into ice cube trays & bring them out frozen the hens. Any ideas for the totes along those lines for hydration and cooling off on these hot days?
I have two CDTs and from reading the many posts here, I found the should have a soak!
I’ve been holding onto this old galvanized bucket, a big one... for quite a while. I knew it would come in handy one day! My hens didn’t want to use it for a dust bath or a cool pool, so, it sat! Until...
Sometimes we just need to do what we need to do!
I would physically take that poor baby and never look back!
It would be great if she would become educated! Then the next poor soul may have a better chance!
I know this was last year, does anyone know the outcome of this story?
So glad to read this post. I didn’t realize they should not be allowed to hibernate the first winter in a new environment.
My two DTs are from An area only 15-20 miles from me (with very similar weather/humidity etc where they are with me now)
Id love to learn more about how to care for DTs...

The sprinklers suddenly came on in the middle...
Hi Yvonne!
Thank you for the idea!

My yard has a nice shady area under a fig tree, next to a fence where I think it will fit perfectly!! We don’t get too cold out...

Hey Tom!
Thank you for the advice! Beautiful shelter for your guys! Unfortunately, I am not so talented... I will more likely go w the cinderblock house w plywood top.
I would love some of your cacti! My kids live in Castaic, so no problem stopping by to see you! In fact, we have 2...
Hi All!
New to Tortoises. I have adopted (2) 45 yo torts.
They have always free ranged. They are free ranging in my yard.
I’d like to get a suitable shelter ready for them. I’d like them to be used to it before they actually need it in the colder months.
We live in Pasadena, CA. Nice...
