As much as I hate to use foreign substances, I put a couple of dots of super glue on non growth areas of a couple of scutes. May not stay on long, but would rather have it fall off than to put too much on.

That is TOO funny!!!!!!

Yeah! It worked! Sorry for my bad filming. The sun was making so I could not see clearly what I was filming!

I hope this works!

Well, I now have a possible solution for Flipper, a wiffle golf ball half! Posting pics and maybe a video. If video does not upload, please reply with your email and I will send to you. This seems to be a good solution to the flat shell. It is light-weight, allows air to most shell, and seems to...

During the past 40 years I have had to say goodbye to so many of my beloved pets. Dogs, Cats and birds. With each one, I bury them in my yard but in a piece of my clothing, like a piece of me is with them. I lived at a previous address in a mobile home park for about 25 years and I think if...

Each of these three torts are going to different homes. Little Flipper is so gregarious and sweet and will make a very good friend. I am going to attach something that allows it to roll over in order for it to have a healthy happy life!

I did find that when I put a bit of water in their box they were soaking in it. Even after 13 years of caring for a DT am still learning things!

Can't wait till my Yortie pic makes the cut next year!!!!!

Called Spinelless Opuntia. I cut up mine in AZ and the new pads are the best. If you get fruit they like these also. Mine has not gotten fruit so far so I purchase at a Mexican geared grocery named Food City, and Rancho Market to get pads and cactus fruit for my guy. Check out what you have...

My Yortoise the Tortoise is 13 going on 14 in September. I worked at the Arizona State University (ASU) West Campus a few years ago. One day a lady that worked on the grounds of the campus was at home and her CAT came into the house meowing like crazy and made her follow it out to the garden of...

Absolutely fantastic!!!!!

Can not find how I can add my dear tort's pic to my posts. Please help!

Wow, thank you so much! We all have to do all we can to help these little critters as we are caring for them outside their natural environment. You sound like you are going to be a real good tort mommie!!!!!

Ya, I do that. I thought of tying a half small ball to him so if he did flip he could roll over again. Really sweet kid!

We here in Phoenix, AZ had a few great rains this winter so my weed crop is overwhelming! Don't want my Yortie to eat some of them so will need to get out there and remove any not dandelions!

I have a 13 going on 14 year old DT and I weigh and measure him in the spring, when he comes out of hibernation as well as in September, his birth month. I have not marked him, but there have been times I wished he had a tracking device, as he can hide real good. I will hunt and hunt for him...

I currently have a 13 year old DT named Yortoise the Tortoise or Yortie the Tortie for short. He follows me around the yard when I am out there like a puppy dog. Everyone that meets him is so surprised how much personality he has and how friendly he is. My friend for life!!! These little torts...

I sure hope Flipper lives. He is a real personality and is so appreciative every time I turn him upright!

Sure. One with Flipper by self and one with his clutch mates.
