    My tortoises are all good eaters. Haha. Anyone have any good ideas for landscaping plants that are tortoise safe but that they won't devour the second they're planted? Lol

When we first looked into it, this was possible. After further exploration and talking to our city planning department, it appears...

    Carolina pet supply seed mix

I will have to try again I suppose. Could it also be that I planted in winter and only some of the seeds...

    Any help to sex this tort?

    I know that this tortoise may be a little young to definitely tell the sex, but based on these pics can anyone make an educated guess? Based on the first pic I thought maybe male, but based on the second I started leaning towards female, although the pic isn't the greatest.

    So I am in the process of building an outdoor enclosure for a russian tortoise. I want to be able to keep him outdoors all year, so I want to put a heat lamp with thermostat in his shelter which we will build, for the winter months.
