no longer seeking homes, thanks.

I would like to see if someone locally would like to have these two sweet animals. I am very wrapped up in my CDT's and my dogs and kids, and feel both would be better served with an owner who had willingness to feed live food daily, I DO but only a limited amount, and they would benefit from...

love the tortoise table site and looked at every single plant photo....is there an american equivalent to this great UK site?

Ramona????? Didn't I go there on a long hot drive when I was in elementary school to see an outdoor play that took place on rocks and hills and totally tripped me out? I am in Ventura county and its been hot here too. I get my two adult CDTorts out of their nighttime safe houses at 7am, and they...

I am assuming my two CDT will want to hibernate, this will be my first experience doing this, but certainly not theirs as they are estimated to be at least 50 years old. They are very fond of the 'dogloos' in their habitat, both igloos are 'small' and this is where they go at the end of the...

welcome to the forum! i am also in southern california, in newbury park. i had two russians for a little while two years ago and they did great in a home-made outdoor enclosure, although i did bring them in at night fearing raccoons and coyotes and rats. i gave them up when i lost my house but...

i also live in california and i have two adult CDT, i bring them 'in' at night, not so much for raccoons which i havent seen any of but i know for sure RATS. i barely see those either but my little dog tells me that they are running across the fences and through the trees every night after dark...

i just got a response to this post, i was notified by email but now there is nothing here, so whoever wrote to me as a reply and asked if i changed my mind to contact them should PM me right away, if your close and can pick up ASAP i'd be happy to let it go for $60. i put it on craigslist list...

what is this 'orchid bark' of which you speak? my ornate is doing the same thing to his water bowl(s) and i am changing the water constantly,a slo have a mixture of coir and sand and organic potting soil and concerned about it getting into his eyes ingenstion etc. he's about ten years old.

i hope you play the piano for her! i love this set-up!

terryo, am i offering too too much trying daily? do you feed your weekly only? what is 'turtle brittle'? the 'wellness' venison, is this the canned? i have some natural balance duck and potato canned, ( as well as kibble) for my dogs, could i try that?

I have had Bernie for about a month now. He is at least 10 years old and has lived at least the last 7 years in a small tank at a childs 'aquarium' here in california. I have yet to see him eat anything that isnt alive. The said he ate lettuce, tomatoes, strawberries but nothing Ive offered...

:)http://www.tortoiselibrary.com/:D between the tortoise library and this forum, i feel like i have partners in my attempts to learn new things and keep happy and healthy torts!

Well, THAT didn't go very well. Bernie, the box turtle, who is a recent rescue and my first, didn't get mad, he was even a little curious about the Pedi-paws but there was no way I could hold him still. No damage done, I'm a sure and steady hand with things like this, but it will take more...

Having a nine year old kid myself, my only concern was, and continues to be, kids just not paying attention to keeping their hands clean, and touching their mouths after tortoise handling, or habitat cleaning or feedings, etc. I have two CDT which are very much MY responsibility but my kid has...

i bought a couple 8 foot beach umbrellas for under fifty bucks each on ebay with free shipping that covers most of my sun-filled areas. with this weather i am also using a smaller beach umbrella over the igloo and another one over a soaking tub. i am changing out the water at least twice a day...

hi! i know pine and cedar are no-no's due to dust/toxicity etc but i wonder if i can use aspen shavings like my snakes use in my boxies indoor nighttime only habitat. would not be fed on it, or left on it during the day, just for literal bedding/bedtime! what about how my other torts as they...

yay me! thanks for making me feel special! and my torts of course, lol!!!!!

i love these guys, i really do.
