Hi all, I know this is a common question, but I've spent a fair amount of time using the search function and cannot find the answer I'm looking for. Sarges outdoor thermostat died and I want to replace it with a really good one. One that will have an app function with alarms if somethings...

Hey all, With Sarge being outside year round now I'm looking at different grass seed mixes. He's always going to be supplemented with hay, Mazuri, veggies all that good stuff. So I'm not overly concerned about nutrient breakdowns in the various mixes. What I'm wondering about is what mix would...

Oh that’s just tragic [emoji20] I’m so glad they are doing better.

Great tip, Is this something that they grow out of?

She’s sleeping with a leg out It’s just dark brown, but no spurs..

I will try to get some tomorrow, she’s getting bolder, but I’m not sure how well picture taking is going to go ‍♀️

Yvonne that’s so cool! I love Chewy, everything comes to the door, and I’m sure I save $50-$200 a month by not hitting up the local stores and wandering the aisles. I’ve always had great experiences with their customer service as well.

I hope the little guys make it. You are such a godsend to those tortoises, they have no idea!

Tank has been outside all summer and loving it, she’s growing and getting bolder too! I haven’t been picking her up and checking her over all that often. Now the temps are dropping and she’s coming back into the house each night. I noticed today that the dark spots on the back of her rear legs...

Perfect, thanks Tom!

I do still need a thermostat, I’ve been using the heat gun to check temps, but other then that I’m in good shape. Sarge is cozy, I love having him outside like he’s supposed to be, and my dogs are probably relived that they don’t have to share their dog bed with the round one anymore [emoji23]

There’s 2-3” all around. I appreciate the reassurance!

Oil heater in an wooden box, ala Toms night box plan. Door will be open at all times so Sarge can come and go as he pleases.

Sarge spent the night with his heater on last night. I’ve been tweaking things here and there, getting it just right. He’s all warm and cozy as I post this morning. I didn’t sleep well at all though! We are in Southern Oregon, our area seems to be spontaneously combusting on a daily basis, I’m...

That’s a good idea. The big house is heavily insulated, I won’t skimp for my little guys.

Oh they are gorgeous, thank you for sharing!

The big guys house is done! However there’s no way I’m getting another tort house out of hubby this year. We are running into high school soccer season, and home improvement projects that just can’t wait any longer. I’d really love to have my smaller sully and my Russian outside year round...

Question for those with two levels in their “barn”. Looking at the barn, I’m considering using some cleats to create an area for my smaller guys, using all that dead space. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for managing temps this way?

Bingo! I’ll need one of my boys to set it up for me, but that’s the one I want. I’ve been reading about them, it’s just nerve wracking to purchase without any real feedback. The youngest is about to start his senior year of high school, so we are on the brink of getting to do some extended...
