Here's Clifford chowing down. He prefers mid century ceramic plates as he is a hip and discerning tortoise. https://goo.gl/photos/7rmc1Msk3EyZssGD8

He's a Mojave Desert Tortoise I believe. Gopherus agassizii. He's very friendly and always curious about any activities in his yard. Loves to eat. And sleep. Amazing animal. It's like having a dinosaur in the yard.

Thanks! I agree.

45 years old and doing his Olympian moves Clifford makes his way around Gopherus Guy's yard! Better jump out of his way!! https://goo.gl/photos/De312rTthWCZNN9L7 Still has a piece of yummy green something or other on his face after polishing off a bowl of food

So cute

So much grass, so little time

Wow Rocky is a beauty. And loves his feed!

There may not be an off season for dandelions. I grew these in four inch pots from Italian seeds... http://www.growitalian.com/dandelion-dente-de-leone-50-1/ Plus this variety is not as bitter as wild dandelions and you can use them in your salad!

Hi Abdullah - he's so tiny and so beautiful. What a wonderful animal. Thanks for sharing his picture. Hope to see more as he grows up! Steve

Thanks so much Yvonne. I have a tree that's free of chemicals and will give it a try. Steve

Hi - I read through some threads on feeding olives to tortoises. Sort of inconclusive. I was wondering though if anyone has had any experience with feeding olive leaves to a desert tortoise (Gopherus). Thanks for any info. (Great site for learning about tortoises! Thanks! Love reading...

Figs are incredible growers. I rooted some cuttings this winter and they have figs on them!!

So glad to hear this. I have tons of fig leaves! And grape leaves too. Has anyone had any experience with olive leaves? Thanks! Starting dandelions ! Leave it to the Italians to package seeds!

Great picture of a beautiful tortoise!
