Hi Everyone, This app is a dream come true! It’s a blessing to find so much information and tortoise lovers like me in one place. I have a lovely yellow foot tortoise called Mechas (means lots of blond hair [emoji23][emoji23] in my language). I think she is 14 years old, and has been with me 12 years. We live in sunny South Florida and she enjoys the nice weather. I built a special fence for her to enjoy the outdoors all year round. Picture below.
There are few things that concerns me, and would like your advise.
1. Few months ago... My Tortoise stop eating and stayed in her “cave” for few days... we were worried and got her out by hand and discovered she had an egg [emoji33] what I was supposed to do... (first time this happened) How often this occur? I don’t have a male tortoise, how this occurred? What is this called? What topics should I read about?
2. Mechas ([emoji217]) has been the only pet in the house for 12 years, but a month ago we got a dog a 5-month female Boston Terrier [emoji190]. Any recommendation for the tortoise and dog to get along safely?
Thank you! and look forward to your comments!
