    A change in plan

    Well turns out I probably won't get a tort. The reason is I got a little surprise. A rottweiler puppy. A guy I know felt bad about the death of my Newfie, so he gave me a free rottweiler. I'm thinking of naming him Bandit.

    Cape May Zoo

    I posted a similar thread in the sulcata forum but anyway, I went to the Cape May Zoo today and found they had a herd of juvenile Aldabra torts with a slightly larger juvenile Galapagos tortoise tagging along. They came up to me and ate out of my hand.

    A saw a good thing and a bad thing

    Ok so I just got back from the cape may zoo. It's a great place, but I was disappointed when I saw their sulcata. It was in a decent sized outdoor pen...but he was running(if torts can run) around the parimeter of his pen. There was no vegetation in the pen except a lone tree. I felt sorry for...

    Cactus clumps

    I had an idea to plant some cacti clumps around the yard so the future sully can have a nice little snack when it feels hungry. Can I have a list of edible cacti and weeds?

    A quick outdoor pen question

    I have a pretty large yard that is surrounded by a chain link fence. Could a large sully stay in the yard without a pen? At a larger size, is he still under threat from raccoons, possums, skunks etc.?

    Predator proofing

    So with our excessive number of raccoons and possums around we need to predator proof the pen. Could we just cover the top of the pen with chicken wire?

    Outdoor Pen

    Well ever since I helped a boxie across the road I have been doing my research on keeping them as pets. I was originally going to use a 150 gallon aquarium, then found out outdoor pens were far better. So now I am in the process of building a 4'x8' partial in ground pen. Now I was wondering if I...
