    RIP Rascal

    Just thought I should let you all know that Rascal passed away this week. A very hungry hawk made it's way into the chicken wire and already had him before I could get there. We are all devastated here. :*( Better luck to you all and I cannot thank you enough for all the help you have given...

    Desert Tort Yearling

    Thank goodness! But we had an unexpected lucky streak and we are now in the market for the perfect HOUSE and i plan to find the ideal yard for my little guy. I was so saddened by having to give him up and then scared b/c I was not aware of all the rules with his breed. He was given to my son as...

    Desert Tort Yearling

    We have medical bills piling up and plan to be in a small apt. for a few years at least. Thanks for the tip though. I'd totally lower the fee if anyone feels it's too high. i don't even know where to start with that. :/

    Desert Tort Yearling

    I know we can't sell them but I though adoption/rehoming fees were okay? And I'd never let him out of state....no worries. :) PS: our aparment is in total shade all day long. :( I've exhausted all options at this point. He is my sons pet and I really was hoping to be able to get him something...

    Tort has not grown

    Now that it is warming up they will be getting outside at least 3 days a week for about 4-6 hours. I will change out the bulb as soon as I get there today. Thanks for the tips!

    Tort has not grown

    is the coil bulb better then no uv at all? Or just get it out immediately? They would constantly be in the dark without it. :/ I'm saving change to get them some proper heating/uv right now but it will take awhile...if anyone is in AZ and would like to donate old stuff no longer being used I...

    Tort has not grown

    I wish I could report them without losing the only income I have right now b/c I babysit over there 3 days a week. But while I'm there I spoil the little guys as much as I can. It's now warm enough to go outside for most of the day so I did what I could for under 5 bucks and made this for them...

    Nervous about hibernating Rascal this year!

    I was going to do a wooden box with shredded paper in the garage (never a car in there and no rodent problems) and how often should i check on him? I read to touch his foot to see if he's alive but then it said if he wakes up while doing that to encourage him to sleep again...how exactly do you...

    Long time no see!

    Thanks Tom! We spray it down 2-3 times a day to keep up the moisture and humidity. :) Rascal is throwing a fit right now and hasn't left his hide in 2 days now but he tends to do that when he gets a new home. :)

    Long time no see!

    Thanks everyone! We love it. I know it's not the most natural habitat for a DT but b/c it's indoors I really wanted it to match the decor of the house lol. We will be house searching hopefully within the year and he will have his very own yard to run around. :) And no MVB b/c I had already...

    UGH Petco!!! (warning: disturbing pictures)

    Too bad you dont have a connection with the music artist Pink. She has, in the past, threatened Petco to clean up their act with the animals or she will ask all her fans to boycott Petco at her concerts....
