Happy birthday!

I've seen others mention Russian tortoises for colder climates.

Yes 1/2 inch is perfect. I'm still working on my yards for my guys. I'll let more experienced members help with that.

Skip the chicken wire and use hardware cloth. It's cost more but chicken wire is only good at keeping chickens in. Dogs and raccoons can shred it like butter.

I'm so sorry for your loss. How about an alternative as they say never make big decisions after big events. See if you can find a temporary caretaker for them. A friend or family member can take them and give you some time to heal yourself. Please also talk to someone whether it is a friend...

I am so sorry about the negative comments about your caretaking. You sadly found many of the same videos I found. I wanted to get a smart enclosure but of a tortoise to use for a year I couldn't justify the money for it. Instead I saw it recommended on here about using greenhouses. I bought a...

Thanks, I didn't think of ants liking them,

I never thought about taking a picture on the scale I wish I did that. Very nice job.

I knew it was a safe to feed. Just didn't know if they would destroy it this year being small. I'll get a bigger pot for them.

Another ramp done. Not bad for reclaimed wood.

That would make sense.

I bought a kit at Walmart and did ours. It's amazing how well it worked.

One ramp done. I'll add a railing soon. Hopefully not too steep for him.

Thank you

I cannot help you but wanted to welcome you. Once someone can ID your new torte for you this site has awesome guides to read.

Thank you, I stocked up on ice cream, popsicles and freezie. Lots of pudding and juices. All things I would not normally eat.

It's been a little since I posted another update on Optimus Prime. Optimus Prime is getting so big. I really hoped he would be indoors another year but nope no way. He is now 1742grams 3 lbs 14.5 ounces and 8 1/2 inches long. He's an eating machine. He is also doing on purpose to drag his...

I don't understand why the ones in captivity cannot be bred. It sure would help keep them from going extinct.
