Hello. I am in Missouri. I have a Red footed Tortoise named Bella. I have had her for 4 years. She was 2 when a lady down the road sold her. She is big. She thinks she is a dog. She will try and eat dog food. She walks around the house, she will come up to you and stretch her head out to be petted like a dog. She is very people friendly and loves attention. I have a Russian tortoise, his name is Spike, I like to think I rescued him. I walked into Petsmart and he was in a glass cage freaking out. I brought him home at 3 months old. I have had him 3 months and he is mean. He doesn't want messed with, he doesn't wanna be held. He doesn't like other tortoises. He rarely comes out of his shell and he recently killed my Sulcata hatchling. I however, refuse to give up on him. I just learned a very difficult lesson. I have since redone housing and will be working on a new Sulcata baby very soon. I just need to finish up the new housing first. My Sulcata's name was Bulbasaur and she is missed dearly. She was about a month old when I got here. I had her 4 months and made the mistake of caging her with Spike. She was loving and likex pet by me. She was still scared of everyone else yet.
I will soon get a new one and name it Ivysaur but not until house 3 is finished.
Thanks for reading and please no negative words on my lack of tortoise parenting for Bulbasaur. I am aware I messed up bad.
