    Planting forage grasses & weeds

    I've never ordered many plants online before but I think if you can call one of your local garden centers they might be able to get an order for you together that you can pick up. They can recommend a variety of fast growing grasses that will live in Ohio! Best of luck :)

    TRIP TO VET

    I used a small pet carrier meant for a cat when I took my Hermann's tortoise to the vet, I used hand towels to line the bottom. Must have been a lot of excitement for Grog because as soon as we got back home and into the enclosure she dug herself a nice little hole to sleep in for the rest of...

    New Tortoise Owner - I think they mislabeled the species!

    After I picked Grog I realized it's also a type of old beer in Europe ? but I enjoy beer so it just fit for me overall for the tort's name ? We moved for my bf's job after finishing college, he's an engineer but the mountains are such an added bonus for skiing and hiking! I'm an active woman...

    New Tortoise Owner - I think they mislabeled the species!

    Hi thank you! I know Grog is a unique name: I saw the word on a billboard pack in September and thought "how cool would that be to name my futuretortoise!" I grew up in New Jersey but recently moved to Utah- I love meeting people from my home state though!

    New Tortoise Owner - I think they mislabeled the species!

    Wow okay, thanks Chris! I have been following your YouTube and Instagram for a few weeks now since I started my tortoise search on what would be a good breed for me. Doing my best to stay educated so my little tort gets the best care!

    Waterproofing Advice

    For the bottom of our enclosure,we went to a home improvement store and bought linoleum/vinyl peel and stick "tiles" I think the box had 25-30 tiles in there but we only needed a few. It was a cheap way to waterproof the bottom of the wooden enclosure! I put a picture of my tortiose on top of...

    New Tortoise Owner - I think they mislabeled the species!

    Hi all! I had been looking at a Hermann's Tortoise for so long and went to the pet store to get decorations and substrate for the enclosure I just built while I waited for the exotic pet store to have tortoises back in. Petco to my surprise had a "Hermann's Tortoise" for sale and I was so...
