I just recently purchased a vet scale so I could weigh Jackson and General, I kept really good records of their weight when they were younger , smaller and easier to weigh, Yesterday I weighed them, Jackson is 96 lbs, General is 84 lbs. they were 500 grams when I got them in june of 2020. not...
So again I ask you what is the proof ? The pretty pictures show aldabras living together. Where is the pretty picture of the Aldabra living alone ? Again , all I want is some evidence that them living together is hurting them .You are mighty strong in your belief that I am hurting them in...
After being admonished by every " expert "here , for having 2 Aldabras living together, I was wondering if there is any evidence that Aldabras live alone in the wild? I have never seen any Pics of Aldabras in the wild where there was only 1. Can anyone show any evidence that Aldabras are...
How could you guys let your tortoises fight each other to the point of catastrophe without separating them ? Seems like the logical thing to do if they are fighting.
I see it all over the country, most people don’t really get what bullying even is . How do you guys communicate with your...
Exactly 👆 I get it that if they are 2 males , that when they get older they may not want to be around each other , or if they just do not get along then I will separate them. . That is just not the case now 🐢🐢
I have raised every kind of animal on my farm , from cattle, horses, draft...
If we lived in a cell together would we snuggle up together at night, if we could be apart, I don’t think so. So why do the tortoises sleep together when they could be separate ?
Is one of them making the other snuggle up to him ? That is absurd. They like being together. Or, maybe your...
If we grew up together , you would know to not sit in MY lazyboy .
And congratulations Tom, you just discovered how all animals in captivity must adapt to their surroundings, be it horses , hippos or tortoises .
that is my point 👆believe me when I say, I am not upset in the least. I knew Tom would chime in with his all knowing knowledge of Aldabras
please show me the evidence of which you are stating is fact. Please show a pic of an Aldabra in the wild living by himself. Then explain to me how you...
There is no way that I could keep a closer eye on them than I already do. I can watch them 24/7. How did you get your information that they don’t care to be together? Every pic I have ever seen of Aldabras in the wild or in captivity they’re not alone. Seems like a lot of tortoise “experts “ who...
They have been together all of their lives , they are rarely ever not side by side, they sleep together, eat together , they do everything together . Sometimes it all depends on how much effort YOU are willing to put in to it . I see that they are not lacking for anything . They live inside...
Hey everyone, I’ve been really busy for the past few months, moving to new house. So I haven’t posted much about General and Jackson. Here are a few recent pics. They are growing like crazy, eating a lot and looking pretty good , I think . They are both over 50 lbs now, I have not weighed them...
Yes, I put in the conduit so they would not rub against the rock wal , it works like a charm. The only drawback is the 3’”PVC conduit is @ $100 per 10’. Luckily I already had the conduit !
