When I put a measuring tape on the ground and put them on top of it, they were all around 17 inches (give or take). what does that roughly equate to in tort tummy size?
hey guys,
so I adopted three 15 year old Asians back in September and have been having a lot of fun with them. shortly after I last posted they definitely became comfortable in the back yard and since then it's been hard to do anything outside without my posse following behind. all three of...
granted mine are much older than a year, but they don't seem too crazy about the cactus pads either. they really like the fruit though. I keep trying to get them to like the parts of fruits and veggies I buy for me and don't eat. the bottoms of asparagus were a pretty big fail, however the...
I can't remember the exact day she put herself there, but it's coming up on two weeks for sure. how much longer should I give her before i move her myself?
thank you!
I want to say it's mazuri primate biscuits (I can mostly picture the bag). my co-worker gave me a big bag with the torts and said the local feed store was out of the tortoise stuff.
You're right, I need to clean that area up. they've already broken several small pots! the people I'm renting from left all that stuff out there. the torts seem to treat it like a playground. two of them will stuff themselves on that corner of the bottom shelf. and politely asking them to stay...
here are some close ups. I'm sure the last two are of ron. the first two don't really show his "moustache", but I'm almost certain they are him from the other day when I thought he was going to eat me.
so here are Ron, Harry, and Hermione. I've gotten pretty good at telling them apart in person, but can't seem to in this picture.
they are 15 year old siblings and mee/mep intergrades. assuming I measured them correctly (more or less put a tape measure on the ground and put tortoises over the...
Here are some pictures of the yard (the shady and the not so shady). I thought they had enough shade, but if you disagree please let me know! my friend and I also built them a hide box before I got them which turned out to be way toooo tall so we're going to cut it in half and add a roof to the...
it's been cooling down at night finally, into the lower 70's. the torts have the whole yard which is fairly large and open, but there are two very very densely shaded areas covered with ferns that they seem to have gravitated to. there is also a covered cement patio where they often hang out...
how often do these ladies dig a nest instead of building one?
one of the torts started to dig a bit in the corner of my yard and the next day i found Hermione hanging out under my shed. she's been there for 5 or 6 days now. she will eat if you hand feed her, but when I put a bowl of food next...
