If she's poopin' and shedding she is growing. Since they don't get all that big to begin with you really can't notice the growing. I had 4 babies this last year....3 I feed CGD only and one I feed dusted live feeders. The one with insect diet is deffinetly bigger. Try increasing the protien if...

The plywood bottoms are 4' x 5'. The sides are the 1" x 12". Everything is held together with wood dowels (not glued) to allow breaking them down or expanding. As long as all the holes you drill for the dowels are in the same place on each end of the walls...... it allows them to create corners...

Made with 1" x 12" and 1" plywood. Covered with peel and stick floor tile. When in use they are raked every other day and every 45 days I remove and replace top 2" of soil.

I believe liability is needed when you do anything on city property. To protect you and cover them. In case your critters like finger food.:)

I think that helps. A place where they are not harvested, but raised to breed, I think more care would go into their shipping. They would be less likely to have that "as long as a percentage of them make it alive" mentality.

I have 1 male and 1 female russian C/B the rest W/C. 1 female greek C/B.......the other female and a male are W/C. My young Hermanns are C/B People really hang onto their adults that are C/B. Each year more C/B young are available out there....it's good to see.

This spring I will have 4 female and 2 male russians hopefully breeding. It will be their second year in the same outdoor pen and they will be coming out of a 3 month hibernation. So odds are good there will be young ones. I will also have 2 female and 1 male golden greek together. I think...

Nice!! Good gift..

I have russians, golden greek and hermanns. Their care is about the same and they all stay small. I like the mediterranean tortoises. First one is 10' x 12', the others are 4' x 5' sections that stand alone or connect with others. The one on the porch is 8' x 8'.

My Russians are outside now, but I use indoor pens during winter if they are under weight or show signs of illness. It's also a good place for new additions to the group to be seperate for a while. I have a pen on the front porch if we have those 2 or 3 day rains. My main interest...

Those little redfoots sure are some beauties. Is that 3 you have there? The russians are great too! It seems no matter how much you put in front of them they eat it all. Are they up and about now or are they sleeping the winter away?

All this tortoise chat sure is making me miss interracting with my little guys. I am not bringing them out of hibernation till end of feb. though.:( I have had my Greek for about 3 years now, but she is alone in her pen (I don't keep her with the russians). From what I can gather she is about...

It's great little98dime that you are helping those eggs out. :main_thumbsup:

Redfoots are great. I like the color. My Hermanns is inside too, because he is small. About 3 inches now. He was hatched from captive bred parents.
