Those of you that breed your own Dubia, do you have to worry about them inbreeding? I understand they are insects and not cats and dogs, but still.

I have ventured into the world of Dubia Roaches : ) I have done lots and lots of research on these little feeders and my Bearded Dragon loves to chase and eat them up! I started out with 2 male adults and 10 female adults and 100 nymphs of different sizes to use as feeders while my big guys...

Good Morning everyone! I was wondering where does everyone but their live foods for their Bearded Dragons? I have been looking for Dubia Roaches and or Phoenix Worms to try on my little guy. I have been to all the Pet stores around Yuma, AZ asking for these but with no luck. Right now all I can...

Hello everyone! I am a new bearded dragon owner. I have had my little guy for a week now. He is happy and eating crickets like crazy! I bought him from a well known pet store chain. The lady in the pet store said he was eating his "salad" everyday for her along with his "protein" items...

I have to write a letter to my landlord explaining why I should be able to keep my tortoise on "his property". I have had her for 2 years with no problem but I guess I missed the fine print of no reptiles in the lease. I truly didn't realize. Any ideas on of where to start or anything good to...

I was helping my neighbor clean out her painted turtles tank this morning. We found these white "stones". I keep tortoises and know about their urates, but nothing about turtles. This guy was a rescue and we have no idea what his previous living conditions were. Anyways, I'm wondering if this is...

Is there a sizing chart anywheres for sulcatas? I just want to make sure my little ones ate on the right track.

My big girl Beauty has a chip missing. It's about the size of the tip if my pinky finger. I noticed it two days ago, cleaned it with surgical scrub and put an animal triple antibiotic ointment on it. I'm just wondering if this is the right stuff to put on it or is there something else that I...

Does your Tortoise's breakfast look better than yours? Mine sure does! This is Little Foot's breakfast today. She is my 3 year old Red Foot.

Ok, I was asked a crazy question today and did not know the answer so now I'm asking you guys and gals... Can a tortoise have a salt/mineral block in their enclosure. Would it be safe if they ate it like a cuddle bone? It would keep their beak down that's for sure. I'm talking about the mineral...

What do you use as a water dish? I have an about 8 inch Redfooted tortoise who loves to soak in her waterfowl under her heat lamp. She's outgrowing her "XL" water dish with ramp I bought from Petsmart. I'm just looking for other ideas since that's the biggest my Petsmart carried. Thanks! [hr]...

Have had Little Foot for two years. I have always called "her" a "girl" but I'm starting to notice some subtle changes. I wanted to see what everyone on here thought. I may be over looking things. Lol. She didn't come from the best of conditions and I don't know exactly how old she is but like...

How hot is too hot for a Juvenile Sulcata tortoise? My big girl Beauty is 2 1/2 years old and 10 pounds. She's housed outdoors of course. We are currently in Yuma, AZ. It's been pretty hot here. It's 111F here right now. She has shade, a hide, a mud pit and a water dish she could soak in (she...

Was wondering if anyone used "hay racks" with their larger sulcatas? I'm wanting to use one but can't find anything the right size. It's either tiny for rabbits or huge for horses so I wanted to see what you use or built.

Hello everyone, I was curious about worming. What medication do you use and how often? I know you worm dogs as a preventative measure (before you notice worms or problems) should I do the same with my tortoises? Thank you for any and all information!

Good afternoon everyone! I have been admiring everyone's pictures so I have decided to add my own. Here they go... My Beautiful Beauty Beauty pigging out once again Chomper snoozing the day away Peek-A-Boo Tonka, and Chomper's cute little butt[hr] I can't leave out Little Foot (red...

I just wanted to get everyone's opinion on this topic. Do your tortoise prefer "friends" or do you think they are quite happy alone with just your company? I have a 2 year old Sulcata and I am keeping my neighbors 1 year old Sulcata for two weeks while she is out if town. They seem to be...

Good afternoon everyone, I am looking for ideas to make an outdoor "house" for my tortoise's outdoor enclosure. What I was using isn't working because she digs under the sides and the plastic falls and traps her. She's never outside without supervision so that's not detrimental but extremely...

My outdoor tortoise pen is finally finished! I am so proud of it, so I had to share. I know in the picture it's a little wet, but I just put down grass seed and wanted to water it really well before the birds found it. Let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas on how I could improve...
