I meant to say I am in Arizona. I didn't even think of owls. We have an owl in the area also. I feel better that I covered it. If they try to land on it , it is not very strong. Just enough to keep them off I hope
Well to play it safe I covered the area. I think it may have been a Harris Hawk. I didn't see others around though. Usually they are in packs I think. I had four get a pet chicken. It was awful. They do have hiding areas but they are protected now.
I know this has been discussed over the years. We have moved to a new place. At the last place I saw a hawk land on the fence and just stare at one of my torts. I have three Leopard tortoises. One is about 11 inches, one about 7 inches and one about 6 inches. The hawk never came back after...
Yes, this is what happens if I add anything to the greens. They stop eating completely. I just don't want them to get hungry because none of them were fed that great early on.
Yes he IS beautiful ! So when determining sex is it the size or age that is best to determine sex. My 2 year olds that are small (4 inches) as of right now they are female for sure. Can that change at this point ? I have a large male.
Thank you Tom. There are quite a few of the same weeds around here but not a huge variety in my yard. I'm afraid I would be giving them something bad if I chop the weeds. so I was just thinking if they were interested in them they may pick at them and leave any that were bad for them. Some...

Thank you
I can't view the pictures but isn't 8 inches real big for a 2 year old. I purchased 2 that are suppose to be 2 year olds and they are only around 4 inches.

Happy Birthday to my little Leviathan! Levi for short ;)
Today he is 2...
I too would like to know if its actually a male with the split scute.
I wish I could get my three to eat grass or weeds. They have no interest in grass. No interest in hibiscus or flowers. Only greens. It frustrates me. All three were not raised properly so I don't want them to get too...
I've just discovered that one of the Leopard tortoises I've had for a couple months has a slightly overgrown beak on the bottom. The bottom is growing over the top. I can push the lower beak in with my fingers.
I am going to try to file or trim the lower beak but its very difficult. If I...
