I Googled "tortoise forum" so I could find a forum where I could get info from experienced tortoise keepers on how to take care of my new guy. This one came up, I checked it out and joined the same day.

I was just searching the web for all round information. And stumbled across this. Saw it had a phone app and signed up straight away!
It's been really useful already. And I've only been here a very short while :)

My tort was having trouble with eating rocks, and I was afraid something could go wrong. I Google the information and the forum came up. I decided to join because there were experienced tort owners who knew what they were talking about. Many knew more than the vets I've seen in the past. Thanks Josh for starting up this forum.

Someone (can't even remember now) on a yahoo group I belong to mentioned it. Or gave a link maybe.
I really enjoy the forum. My eyes are crossing from all the reading I've been doing! But it's all good. :D
And I like the Android app a lot!

When I first got Apollo, I realized just how much research goes into owning/caring for a tortoise. Being a tortoise keeper brings up a lot of questions. Mainly things like "what is that white stuff my tortoise just pooped out" and "What do I feed this thing" ;)

Well I needed answers to all these questions! And of course, I turned to the infinitely wise internet, specifically Google.

While I was searching I noticed that whenever I typed in something relating to tortoises, The Forum would pop up in the results. So I clicked on the link to these wise threads and members. With time, I found myself able to answer some of the questions in the threads. And just like that, the script was flipped, and I was a member!
