Thanks Kerry.
he is outdoor 13hrs. but we put him away at night not because of the weather, but we have a lot of opossums, raccoons and owls in our community. Darwin has his house he walks right into at night but is open front and i think i would be up all night.

Haven't seen him graze yet. Any ideas?

Some tortoises take a while to completely settle in. I don't know about Aldabras, but some torts don't take to grasses right away. Not sure if you know this or not. But ALDABRAMAN is the resident Aldabra expert, he has a herd of them and also raises them. You might want to ask him, if his babies of that size grazes on grasses. He sometimes keeps some of the babies to raise up a year or two. I think in time, as long as he is eating, he will probably sample the grasses.

You haven't posted any new pictures correct. Only the first ones in the original thread, correct? If so, everyone else is getting the pics. Except For Melly-n-shorty. So keep posting pics and we will see if we can help Melly-n-shorty out.

Yea the pice dont show on my iPhone either..

Try not using the app. I have the iPad and the app to me anyway is much harder to work through. I don't know anything about iPhones, but if you can just put THETORTOISEFORUM.org in the search bar, try that and see if they show up. You might have to use a computer or if you have an iPad. Also, a couple times on the threads that I get email notifications from, I will click on the link and a blank page will pop up with a little square box that says something like. Image has been removed, or image is no longer available. If I go to the forum and click on that same thread I got the email alert about that didn't work, I can click on the thread and everything, including the picture is all there. Just had it happen today. See if any one of these ideas will help, if you haven't tried them yet. Let's us know. Good luck.
