escape

I am currently building an outdoor habitat for my 12” male red footed tortoise with fences on my backyard. I am curious if he could dig through the soil & mud & grass under the fence and escape? If he possibly could do it, what should I do to prevent him from escaping? Should I make at least 6”...

I adopted a fully grown Greek male a couple of months ago. He's never been able to look outside of his current enclosure, but since his previous owners just let him walk around in the house, he knows that there's an outside world. He spends all of his days trying to look our of the enclosure...

I saw this video a few days ago, I can't stop watching it and I thought I would share it in here. It's so funny It's worth watching, the description is in spanish and that's a desert tortoise so I'm guessing that's Sonora, Mexico. It says the tortoise escaped twice so they decided to record it...

Hi Guys! My 4 month old Horsefield tortoise seems unhappy? He seems to scratch at the outside of his tank a lot and when he’s in his run outside he just seems to want to get out. Does anyone know if this is because he’s bored or unhappy? And if so does anyone have any ideas on spicing his life...

So I came from work to find Shellby’s enclosure a mess and her missing! Everything was rearranged so I thought someone might of taken her.

Hello Tesla lives in an outide enclosure and dug a hole. I dug it out and created a "hole" out of a 12 inch wide by 12 inch deep red ceramic pot that is flush with the ground when on its side. She has a path that I placed 1/2 inch wood on the walls and floor. The top is covered with a piece of...

Hello All, I’m new to this whole forum business so take it easy on me please, Hehe! So I have a 12 year old (7inch) Hermanns tortoise names Marvin, I’ve had him for about 9 years and he’s always been pretty active. We jokingly call him the “Houdini the ASBO tortoise” because he loves...

Hi everyone, I'm new here and in search of any help I can get. My 3 toed box turtle of 28 years escaped my house somehow last Friday. He has never been a wild turtle and we think his actual age is around 60 as he was owned by 2 previous families before us. We've taken him outside a few times (...

So I am planning on making Tino her first outdoor enclosure this Summer and was looking for some advice/tips. She's a ten year old Russian tortoise and has had to live inside up until now because of my inability to stay in one place long enough to build a suitable outdoor enclosure! I now have...
