    Yellow foot and Salcuta

    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...

    housing different species together

    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.

    Yellowfoot not so shy

    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...

    Do it yourself pet nail trim ideas

    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.

    Salcutas starting to dig out

    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.

    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:

    CAG finally gives up towel chase

    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...

    My CAG and TAG sexes

    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.

    UGH, I'm SO naive, husband brought home more tortoises!

    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...

    What no bird lovers?!

    I taught my CAG to say, "I am a bird. I'm not a dog." I don't think she gets it. She still barks!

    2 male lizards fighting

    It's the first time I've ever seen this. They look like mini iguanas the way they flare up. It's definitely Sringtime!

    Turtle shell uses

    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...

    Pond pumps

    We recently are keeping water turtles in our outdoor pond. Are there any potential issues I need to be aware of with our pump? Thanks.
