Just dropping in to say hi!!
Hi! I have 2 torts, a Russian named Hercules and a sulcata named Tiny!!! They have the greatest personalities but am having trouble with my dog. She won't stop barking at them. She's jealous I think. She's a jack russell and she's a rescue. I love this forum. Very educational and has so many good people here.

Hello

Yes ! Dogs find tortoises cute little chew toys !

Hello and welcome.

I hope the tortoises each have their own enclosures?

Your dog should have no contact with either of your tortoises and no opportunity to bark at them. Keep the dog and tortoises separate at all times. Do not let the tortoises into the dog area, or the dog into the tortoise area.

Dogs are one of the biggest killers of pet tortoises. Dogs and torts just don't mix.

Thanks for the reply! The torts are in separate homes and I don't let the dog near them. Thanks again!

I love how the little species is named Hercules, but the sully is named Tiny! Welcome!
