I’ve tried several enclosures over the years. This season my Salcuta is just roaming yard with a Dog Igloo for shelter. We have a corner lot so it’s decent size. Though I’m working on dogs to leave alone! My Yellowfoot has a pen and loves soaking daily. Each have access to their own mini pond...
The evidence shows that my guys mainly ignore the other. Their only concern is food and shelter. The Russian in picture had a moment of curiosity then off he went.
Everything I read about Yellowfoots indicate they are harder to keep than RedFoots and that they are very shy. My Tort is very curious. She wants to figure out my scent going pass food offered to sniff me. She comes to me knowing I feed her. She's very curious of human visitors too. Don't worry...
This is a problem for me. I am wondering if anyone has successful ideas for Dogs and Parrots. I am wondering if I should do the Iguana and Torts even. I've done my dogs but they don't like it. I have never done the parrots myself. I let the vet do it but I wouldn't mind saving the money if possible.
I'm not sure it was intentional more than just burrowing deep. I was thinking of putting something to border around the pen deep. Perhaps cynder blocks, slate or other? Any ideas appreciated.
Found this guy on the highway after lots of rain. Not even aware of nearby water. He's not too shy either.
:tort:What a long neck you have!
:P Better to reach and smell you wth my dear!
I purchased a valance from a thrift store and just added elastic. It had hems on both sides and veryb long. I didn't feel like sewing. $1.25 PLUS $2 elastic :cool:
My CAG is not trimmed so she can fly where she wants. (Well we trimmed her once but she caught a hellish attitude so we let her feathers alone.) Sometimes she gets into things she shouldn't be like on top of the fridge throwing down everything. Usually when in mischief she doesn't want to "step...
The CAG is younger but a larger breed. Anyone able to identify the sex of CAG? CAG also has a very red tail compared to my TAG. Thx in advance. First two pics of CAG. Second two pics of TAG. The previous owners of TAG said she's sexed as girl.
So, I'm feeding my Yellow Foot tonight and I see two other tortoises in the pen. I don't know what I was thinking but I'm yelling for my husband to come check this out. (I think I'm getting Alzheimers or something.) He says he put them in there two days ago. They are two Russian Tortoises! One...
Well, I don't want to offend anyone who are turtle lovers but I was wondering if anyone wanted to donate shells of turtles who have passed on. I know several girls who will be doing a Coming of Age Ceremony in our American Indian culture. I am the mother of one and a mentor to another. We all...
