This is my sweet Rumple. He has been with me a week. You can see he had a rough, dry start in life. He is 6.5 years old. Before me, he was housed with 4 other males in IMO close quarters. I suspect he was low on the pecking order and did not get to eat as much as should. For the first few...

How small is the world of torts? I am hoping to connect to my tort's breeder - especially if he/she is on TFO!:) So the dude I bought Rumple from, mentioned he bought 5 leopard tortoise hatchlings from a California based breeder, and Rumple is 6 going on 7. So, if you shipped 5 torts to...

:tort: Is there a calculation/rule of thumb to check if you have the right area for a tortoise to keep them happy and healthy? (For example, 4 sq ft per 1 inch of length?)

Hola! Not a tortoise owner, yet. Still thinking/researching/deciding. I have wanted a pet for years, but my eldest is asthmatic and allergic to most mammals. I hadn't up to now even considered a tortoise, but was utterly charmed by tales of a happy little red foot on, of all things, a...
