The previous owner got her in 1998 as a hatchling and has had her in his small yard ever since. It was his daughters pet, but kids grow out of tortoises quick so he found himself taking care of it. He only had a small patch of grass so he'd take her to the park to eat. Reached out to me through...

Is papyrus safe for a large pond? In looking for some plants to provide shade for my pond. What do you recommend?

I might be able to connect you with someone in Vegas that keeps tortoises. Let me know.

https://www.lllreptile.com/products/368-mazuri-primate-basix-monkey-chow-25-pounds It's that one. But I only bought a small baggy for 99 cents to test it. I have about 4 pieces to my sulcata and he ate them.but im not planning on feeding it again. I'll give it to my box turtle.

Yeah that's what I was noticing. I usually feed the zoomed Grassland Diet it has 8.5% protein. What about monkey Chow for my Russians? Or box turtle or sliders? Think if I drop it in the water the slider will pick at it?

So I bought a small bag of mazuri monkey Chow for 99 cents yesterday at LLLreptile. After doing. Some research I see it's high in protein. I asked the guys and they said it's good for Tortoises but now im not sure. Any one have experience with this food?

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but can you all follow my tortoise and turtle page on Instagram??? @TheTortoiseEffect

Is there no breeders in your location?

Wish I could but I wouldn't be doing them any favors by putting them in my Enclosure and over crowding them. Sorry. Good luck!

Does anyone in San Diego have any water Hyacinth? In in Oceanside. North County San Diego.

Im in San Diego and can definitely help! I have alot of tortoises and turtles. Check them out on Instagram I just made a page @thetortoiseeffect @theozzyeffect

Those are hard to rehome, since there are so many out in the market. Water turtles are hard to care for. I wish I could take them but I already have 5 in a 500 gallon pond outside lol.

I have a large bail of Bermuda grass hay for my sulcata and it's gone dry. At first it was nice and green but most of it is drying out now, is it still ok to feed? I've seen him chomping at it.

One of my Russians does!! He goes through the fences and plants and pots and under bricks just to try to escape. He's a fiesty little one

Awesome good to know!! I was worrying if I was being a bad tortoise keeper.

That's true. My big guy is 130lbs and has destroyed more stuff than I can list. He was about to dig a burrow but I built him a nice barn with insulation and a heat lamp and he hasn't felt the need to burrow since.

My large sulcata has natural Bermuda grass growing in the yard and a huge pile of hay, that's all he eats. He poops fine and poops alot! But I was wondering if im doing good by just allowing him to eat that? When I care for my Russian tortoises i go out and feed them and put out their pellet...
